Improvements
• General increase in render performance on 2-, 4-, and 8-core CPU configurations, including
significant improvements to Scanline render and Gridwarp.
• When opening properties panels, Ctrl/Cmd+click now acts the same as double-click, opening
the panel in the default place (Properties Bin if it exists, otherwise floating). You now need
to Alt+Ctrl/Cmd+click to force Nuke to open a panel in a floating window when the Properties
Bin is present (BUG ID 5961).
