Hi, hope you're well. Turbo Tools has been updated to version 4.0.9. If you've purchased a copy, lifetime updates are included so you can download it straight away from your library (link on your receipt).

If you haven't yet seen Turbo Tools in action, learn how it can speed up Cycles rendering and compositing at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEBkCnxu6RY&list=PLj47Aeq9jcpT7zUbGy81wzb4nImxy4fA4

Included in this update:

Added compatibility up to Blender version 4.2 Alpha. The addon is now compatible with Blender versions 2.93 to 4.2 Alpha!
Added versioning checks which adjust how the caching system works if the new 'full frame' compositor mode is detected. This will also improve performance of the experimental full frame compositor for those using earlier versions of Blender.
Updates to the standard caching system so that it continues to work if it detects recent code changes the Blender devs made to the experimental GPU mode.
I've only experienced this once in the last 4 months, but on extremely rare occasions a Blender bug can prevent Turbo Tools from tidying up after rendering. You would always get a popup asking you to revert the scene to it's pre-render state via undo, but if you missed it, there would be nodes left behind in the compositor that led to slow and incorrect results next time you rendered. Now if you miss the popup message, everything should still revert to it's pre-render state except the denoising and volume pass checkboxes, and the sample settings (which don't matter anyway if you're using the Turbo Render sample pre-sets).
After clicking render an undo point will be added to the undo history named 'revert to pre-render state' This will allow the user to quickly revert back if they experience the Blender bug discussed in the previous point.
Code improvements and optimisations.
Blend file named "turbo v4 whats new video blend file.blend" has been added to the download area for those wanting to follow along with the TT4 release video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDWfo9GQz2c

Before installing this update, remove the old addon, restart Blender, and then install this version.

Cheers
