Hello again,

Just wanted to add a note to this release regarding a known issue: we've noticed that with latest Nvidia drivers (368.39), Maxwell Render is freezing when using Multilight sliders in combination with Fast Multilight Preview while rendering. Installing older drivers (for example 353.62) will solve the problem as well as deactivating Fast Multilight Preview.

We are still investigating the problem.

Sorry for the inconveniences.

Best,
Fernando
