Ondra:

* Added legacy switch to Corona Rounded edges texmap, which switches the behavior back to 1.5

Ondra:
Major new features

* Added support for hair, added HairMtl. Ornatrix, Hair Farm, and native Hair&Fur (max 2013+) are supported. There is also Corona Hair material. Currently still very WIP!
* Added bump convertor map, that converts any map to a bump map
* Added UVW randomizer map, that allows applying random offset/rotation/scale to different objects

* Massive speedup of interactive rendering in scenes with heavy instancing
* Layered mtl and rayswitch mtl no longer come with default CoronaMtl plugged into them
* Fixed crash when deleting Corona Display filter
* Fixed unnecessary IR restarts when navigating slate material editor (2016+)
* Updated to new embree (3% general speedup)
* Updated to new instancing system inside embree, yielding lowered memory consumption, and faster interactive updates
* Additional 2% general speedup
* Added texmap on/off checkboxes to Corona Triplanar Map
* Added snapping to CoronaLight, TODO: other objects
* More translations fixed
* FIxed: ortho view clipping thin objects: https://corona-renderer.com/bugs/view.php?id=2609
* Image Editor: Fixed rotation direction of the glare effect to match VFB.
* Image Editor: Fixed denoising of rendered regions
* Image Editor: Fixed sometimes loading different LUT than what was selected in VFB
* Added maxscript access to noise level: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=16298.new#new
* Faster adaptivity recomputation (speed up by factor 2-3) - this should prevent low CPU usage when rendering small regions
* Added blurring multiplier to multimap
* Improved listing of (un)supported maps and materials. Physical material is now correctly listed as supported, and Corona materials no longer incorrectly report as supported to vray.
* UHD cache and LUT is now asset-tracked, meaning it gets packed when archiving scene, can be retargeted, and there is warning when it is missing upon opening a scene
* DR: Fixed displaying of some non-ascii characters in DR tab
* DR: DR can now be turned on (or off) during render by checking (unchecking) the ‘Enable’ checkbox in DR rollout
* DR: Showing error message when DR slave is missing a texmap plugin
* Corona combo boxes (channel list and LUTs in VFB): Fixed scrolling when mouse cursor hovers over the combo box without clicking (worked previously correctly only on Win10), Fixed selected item not being properly highlighted when scrolling using the mouse wheel, The popup window with selection now properly scrolls to alway display the selected item, Items can now be scrolled just by holding the up/down keys instead of one push == one scroll
* Reduced flickering of Corona VFB during interactive rendering
* Fixed: scatter name in viewport not being correctly refreshed sometimes due to 3ds max bug
* Reordered estimated remaining time in VFB
* Added tooltips explaining various VFB statistics
* Removed non-working rawafake sky model parameters
* Updated VFB UHD Cache stats
* “Add region” button in VFB now enables regions if it is clicked while regions are disabled: https://corona-renderer.com/bugs/view.php?id=2731
