- Documentation for mesh export, interpolation modes, and diffing.
- "-fd" flag added to the import command and the translate command
- Support for prim var interpolation modes in the import/export code paths (currently UV sets only, colour sets & normals will be in a later PR).
- Support for diffing all variations of the interpolation modes on prim vars.
- Routines to determine the interpolation modes on vec2/vec3/vec4 types.
- AL_usdmaya_LayerManagerCommands to retrieve layers that have been modified and that have been the EditTarget.
- Built using USD-0.8.5
- ProxyShapePostLoadProcess::createTranformChainsForSchemaPrims now checks all the prims' parents' metadata for their unmerged status. If found, the transform chain creation skips the current prim in place of its parent.
- ProxyShapePostLoadProcess::createSchemaPrims now checks all the prims' parents' metadata for their unmerged status. If found, the schema prim import will instead take place under the parent node.
- Mesh::import now checks the prim's parents' metadata for its unmerged status. If found, the created shape node will not have the appended "Shape" string.
- Mesh attributes queries use EarliestTime timecode
- Functions in DgNodeTranslator are moved to DgNodeHelper in AL_USDMayaUtils
- AttributeType.h/.cpp are moved to AL_USDMayaUtils
- LayerManager API has been updated so you can now inspect all layers that have been set as an EditTarget and are Dirty.
- Updated endToEndMaya tutorial to work with latest USD API changes.
- All hard coded /tmp paths in the unit tests, in favour of a linux/win32 solution.
- Fix for when tearing down a shape, that it's sibling shapes are left alone in Maya.

- Fix for Issue "meshTransform cannot execute twice" #82
- Bug in the import/export of mesh normals
- Normals export now correctly listen to the exporter options.
- AL_usdmaya_plugin can be unloaded correctly.
- Passing the time value into the nurbs, camera, and transform translators on export.
- Removed the code that reversed polygon windings if the 'leftHanded' meta data flag was encountered. Instead, the 'opposite' flag is set on the maya mesh.
- A new plugin translator (translator/NurbsCurve.cpp) to translate prim between USD and Maya, and write back editing result to USD prim.
- Existing static nurbs curve translator re-uses common utils code.
- Windows build
- ExportCommand will now export time samples for the visibility attribute.
- ImportCommand will now correctly import time samples for the visibility attribute.
- Experimental Windows support. It has been tested on Windows 7 with Visual Studio 2015 and Maya 2017.
- Qt dependency (Thanks to Sebastien Dalgo from Autodesk)
- New attribute "assetResolverConfig" on proxy shape
- Export creates master geometry prim thus each instance could reference. If transform and mesh nodes are separated by turning off "mergeTransform" option, transform prim will be marked as "instanceable" and fully benefits from usd instancing feature.
- Import detects shared master geometry prim, ensures maya transform nodes parenting the instancing shape.
- Layer manager is now serialised on file export
- Add assetResolverConfig string attribute to ProxyShape
- Built against USD-0.8.4
- Move initialisation of maya event handler from AL_USDMaya library to mayaUtils library
- src/plugin/AL_USDMayaTestPlugin/AL/usdmaya/fileio/export_unmerged.cpp has been added, which tests the mergeTransforms parameter.
- src/schemas/AL/usd/schemas/plugInfo.json.in had the metadata "al_usdmaya_mergedTransform" added.
- src/plugin/AL_USDMayaTestPlugin/AL/usdmaya/test_DiffPrimVar.cpp had the export parameter mergeTransforms changed to 1 to revert to previous test behaviour.
- fileio/Import.cpp will now check for the mergedTransform metadata on the parent transform, which prevents mesh import from creating the parent transform.
- fileio/Export.cpp has re-enabled functionality for "mergeTransforms", which will export the Xform prim and then the children mesh prims separately when set to '0'. The parent transform will have the metadata "al_usdmaya_mergedTransform = unmerged" added to tag it as an unmerged node.
- Add -eac/-extensiveAnimationCheck option to AL_usdmaya_ExportCommand
- Add isAnimatedTransform() to AnimationTranslator to perform extensive animation check on transform nodes.
- Updated Inactive/Active tests

- Mesh surface normals were not importing correctly
- Internal AL build fixes
- Small fix to nurb width import
- Updated existing command to add layer to the RootLayers sublayer stack

- Nurb Curve widths now are imported and exported from AL_USDMaya's ImportCommand
- rendererPlugin attribute to ProxyShape
- Mesh Translation tutorial
- Built using USD-0.8.3

- preTearDown writes Meshes Translated to Maya to EditTarget
- Library Refactor: Refactored to seperate code into multiple libraries: see change DeveloperDocumentation
- Tests: TranslatorContext.TranslatorContext was failing because there was an extra insert into the context in the MayaReference import. Also there was a filter on the tests which needed to be nuked!
- Docs: Small update to build.md
- Mesh Translation: updated glimpse subdivision attribute handling
- Store maya_associatedReferenceNode in custom data This is to stop USD from complaining about: "Error in 'pxrInternal_v0_8__pxrReserved__::UsdStage::_HandleLayersDidChange' at line 3355 in file stage.cpp : 'Detected usd threading violation. Concurrent changes to layer(s) composed in stage 0x185f5a50 rooted at @usdfile.usda@. (serial=6, lastSerial=12).'

Change default lock behaviour of al_usdmaya_lock metadata. "transform" will lock current prim and all its children. -GetSelectabilityValue method is now called GetSelectability -Implementation of ComputeLock() is modified to reuse common code structure. -Library name AL_Utils -> AL_EventSystem
- Issue with the ProxyShapeIimport command not loading payloads correctly.
- AL_USDMayaSchema's pixar plugin was not being loaded during it's tests

- Uses USD-0.8.2
- Reduced the overall number of pulls on the outStage data attribute
- Replaced the use of MMessage callbacks in favour of a scheduled system allowing control of maya events over a number of plugins and tools
- the -identifiers/-id flag is set. This makes it more in line with all the other flags for the command (and more flexible), but is a change in behavior - previously, the muted layers would ALWAYS be returned as identifier

- A boolean option "meshUV" or "muv" in AL_usdmaya_ExportCommand to indicate only export mesh uv data to a scene hierarchy with empty over prims.
- A boolean option "leftHandedUV" or "luv" in AL_usdmaya_ExportCommand to indicate whether to adjust uv indices orientation. This option only works with "meshUV"
- Add special rules for some Maya-USD attribute type mismatches so the maya attribute values transfer correctly to USD prim, e.g. interpolateBoundary attribute on mesh.
- When translate, rotate, scale attributes are locked, TransformationMatrix blocks any changes of these attributes.
- In mesh import, leftHanded flag retrieved from USD will also decide if uv indices need be adjusted.
- Host Driven Transforms
- Remove leftover file
- Update to USD-0.8.1
In same cases when there was geometry in VP2 behind some maya objects, some maya objects wouldn't be selected
- Fix for #24. This is really to avoid poping objects while selecting and does not represent a long term solution. Selecting maya nodes that were outside of the proxyshape were causing a "Root path must be absolute (<>) " error.
SelectionDB that stores all the paths that are selectable.
Move all the selection commands into a different cpp file.
- Update test_PrimFilter to not rely on external files
