Version 3.0.9
- creating a new custom alpha channel adds the currently selected objects to the channel
- added a shelf button which allows custom alpha channel mappings to be edited on several objects at once
- added missing Maxwell scatter parameters
- fixed: Maxwell scatter density, scale and rotation maps weren't exported
- fixed: wrong defaults and ranges for scatter variation and rotation parameters
- fixed: correlated color emitters were exported as XYZ and vice-versa

Version 3.0.10
- when a custom alpha channel is renamed, its name is updated in all the scene nodes which were using it
- fixed: the time input of the sea node was replaced with the default value when loading a scene
- fixed: wrong unit for the time of the sea node (frames were passed as seconds)
- fixed: incorrect scale and density range exported for Maya fluids
- fixed: incorrect displacement presets for RealFlow and Modo

Version 3.0.11
- added support for Maya 2015
- pack'n'go now copies texture files used by referenced MXM materials
- fixed: the plug-in was incorrectly adding the frame number to ABC files used by the RFRK particle node
- fixed: realflow BIN meshes were displayed incorrectly in the viewport
- fixed: bogus values in the displacement-related dropdowns in the material attribute editor
- fixed: incorrect camera target (and therefore DOF) if the linear unit was set to something other than centimeters when the camera was created
- fixed: incorrect lighting and normal mapping for objects with Maxwell materials in Viewport 2.0
Note: the OSX and Linux versions are not available yet.

Version 3.0.13
- removed obsolete parameters from the UI of the scatter node
- fixed: possible crash when displaying a scatter node in the viewport
- fixed: MXS references were not inheriting render flags and were ignoring custom alpha assignments
- fixed: exporting a MXS during pack'n'go ignored render settings

Version 3.0.14
- non-absolute MXS and MXI paths are considered relative to the project path
- fixed: wrong viewport preview for boolean objects when Maya is in Z up mode
- fixed: region rendering only worked when using the camera set as renderable in the scene settings

Version 3.1.5
- added support for a new hair primitive: curves
- added support for per-material alpha channels
- added back support for custom light geometry (MXS references)
- fixed: volumetric objects could not be exported on Windows 8
- fixed: wrong rotation for spot lights in FIRE
- fixed: floating shadows and reflections were not visible when rendering in Draft mode
- fixed: when launching Maxwell on Linux, an intermediary process was created, instead of parenting Maxwell directly under the main Maya process
Version 3.1.6
- added support for UDIM textures
- added settings for extra sampling in the render options dialog
- fixed: volumetric objects did not work
- fixed: crash when changing the state of the color management setting (Maya 2015 Extension 1)
Version 3.1.7
- added support for mapping magnitudes to UV channels in the RFRK mesher
- fixed: instances produced by the MASH plug-in (and other 3rd party instancers) were not rendered

Version 3.1.9
- added the *.exr file mask in the browser dialog for RFRK mesher displacement files
- the volumetric object no longer adds a frame number in the exported particle file path if one isn't present in the file selected by the user. Also improved the detection of the frame padding in case a frame number has to be inserted.
- fixed: "no layer selected" error when clicking the Blocked Emitters button in the AE for a mesh
- fixed: wrong viewport preview for the sea object when Maya was in z-up mode
- fixed: wrong positions for exported particles when Maya was set in z-up mode
- fixed: native lights were not included in the list of blockable emitters
- fixed: no VDB file mask in the volumetric object file open dialog
- fixed the translation from legacy materials to layered was broken

Version 3.1.10
- added the *.prt extension mask to the Maxwell Particles file dialogs
- converted materials use the name of the original material, but with an added "Conv" suffix
- fixed: layered materials converted automatically from legacy materials did not show up in Hypershade
- fixed: the plug-in was not able to obtain a license on Linux if Shave&Haircut; was also installed (or any other plug-in which uses RLM)

Version 3.1.12
- fixed: FIRE was still running in the background after closing its window
- fixed: the render resolution for FIRE was capped at 720 pixels horizontally the first time it was started during a Maya session due to misbehaving licensing code

Version 3.1.13
- fixed: if a Maxwell material was selected in Hypershade and the Hypershade window was subsequently closed, Maya would crash when showing any Maxwell material in the Attribute Editor
