Overview of Release 3.8
Updates
This release contains API additions along with updates to improve configuration and compatibilty when working with recent compilers, operating systems, and other software.
The OpenSubdiv::Bfr interface has been updated with minor API additions and documentation improvements based on feedback from production users.
- Significant updates include:
- C++17 is set as the default C++ standard.
- Additional compiler warnings have been addressed when building with C++20.
- CMake minimum required and policy max versions are set to 3.17 and 3.21 respectively.
- CMake's FindCUDAToolkit is now used instead of FindCUDA when CUDA support is enabled.
- CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH is no longer set by default but instead can be enabled as needed during CMake configuration.
