I'm starting a new project now which will need renderfarm's service to render final images. I have to choose now which version of Corona to use for it. I like new features of Corona 1.6 builds and I'd like to use them in new project, but now it depended of how soon Corona 1.6 will be officially realised and render farms will start to use it.

Do you have any estimation about the date of official Corona 1.6 realise?

One more time :)

Well, we've hit a few bumps which delayed our original plans a little bit. Currently we're planning to have an RC roughly in the middle of next week and a full release 1-2 weeks after that.

All these are just estimates, we can't commit to any specific timeframe since everything may be delayed again if we discover any major hard-to-fix bugs. So if you need to start a new project right now and don't want to use daily builds, you may be safer using 1.5 since we can't promise any specific release date for 1.6

This information is enough to make a decision. Thank you!

we need separate thread for this, can a mod/user do it?

as a side note, we will probably have the RC next week, but how long it stays a RC is based on how fast we will be able to debug the remaining problems with DR and IR. So no promises there, but I am hoping not longer than 14 days

It was created earlier in Bug Reporting, named "Black reflections of lights on low glossiness surfaces".
Here it is: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,13860.0.html

A bit worrying..
If I'm not mistaken it's appeared in versions close to 1.5 relese, maybe earlier.

yes, it is tradeoff for the "dark highlights behind glass" bug. It is one case where the different fakes in Corona just dont mesh well with each another :(

Hi. Had some strange behavior with latest daily (27-03-2017). I've experienced it a couple of times, and tried to reproduce it, with different results.

Most of the times everything works as expected, but sometimes the previous render is "stuck" in the lightmix RE when using VFB IR and shifting camera or shifting from "view" to "blowup". The Beaty pass renders correct, but not the lightmix pass.

Can anyone confirm this behavior? (as said, it only occurs sometimes).

I see. But hope to see some solution.
Because it's a common scheme in architectural visualisation, and following this official tutorial:
 "How to create background material in Corona?" we'll get into a trouble :(
