• An issue, leading to errors when a SketchUp Tag is renamed or when toggling its visibility while the Scatter preview is enabled, is resolved
• An issue, preventing the Proxy Mesh from replacing the original object on Proxy export in specific situations, is resolved
• An issue, leading to errors when Light Gen is started before V-Ray is activated, is resolved
• An issue, preventing the material application to a SketchUp Tag (Layer), is resolved
• SketchUp no longer crashes on exit after saving a component containing a V-Ray modifier
• An issue, leading to errors when deleting a Scatter while interactive rendering is running, is resolved
• An issue, leading to errors when loading .vropt files, is resolved
• An issue, causing SketchUp crash upon scene activation with specific projects, is resolved

• V-Ray GPU: An issue, preventing Mesh lights rendering in animations, is resolved
• V-Ray GPU: There is no longer a crash when starting a render, while the CUDA devices selection specified in the Asset Editor differs from the global one (defined by the GPU Device Selection tool and stored in the VRAY_GPU_PLATFORMS environment variable)
• V-Ray GPU: An issue preventing the material Raytrace Properties from working correctly is resolved
• A warning is logged instead of an error when the V-Ray UI loses connection to the host application
• The proper function of the V-Ray UI is no longer prevented by specific system proxy configurations
