v23.11.0

What's New

We are now prepared to commence comprehensive development of the Swift API for Pixar USD. Following the successful integration of each module so far, packed with umbrella headers that encompass the entirety of their associated header files.

Our current focus will be on ensuring Linux compatibility and transforming MetaverseKit into a cross-platform Swift package. Additionally, we will collaborate with the SwiftPM team to enhance the capabilities of the package manager. Our goal is to seamlessly incorporate this Package.swift file into the root of the official OpenUSD project, preserving its existing project structure.

What Works

---

Pixar/Base

• Pixar.Arch
• Pixar.Tf
• Pixar.Gf
• Pixar.Js
• Pixar.Trace
• Pixar.Vt

• Powered by 👾MetaverseKit v1.3.4 🌍.

What's Fixed

• Resolved a tiny but catastrophic error that was causing the Swift compiler to crash with no error given, the stack trace appeared it was getting hung up somewhere around here, at the following function in Tf.refPtr.h:

// swift hated this. 
friend T *get_pointer(TfRefPtr const &p) {
  return static_cast<T *>(const_cast<TfRefBase *>(p._refBase));
}

// this got things working seamlessly again.
using DataType = T;

friend DataType *get_pointer(TfRefPtr const &p) {
  return static_cast<DataType *>(const_cast<TfRefBase *>(p._refBase));
}

v23.8.20

What's New

---

• Powered by 👾MetaverseKit v1.3.4 🌍.

What's Fixed

• Resolved what SwiftPM considers to be "unstable versioning" in some community packages, which often causes headaches for the consumers of packages which depend on packages with "unstable versioning".

• Added a hotfix patch workaround for app bundles failing to compile due to some metal shader compilation errors in MXResources.

• Resolved an issue where static initializers would lead to duplicate linker symbols because Pixar modules need to define their respective module name and link against the monolithic target instead of the individual libraries.

  error: 'SomeType' is inaccessible due to '@_spi' protection level.
