New API
After developing effects for a few weeks with the API of v0.3.x, it became clear that some changes were needed.
Problems
The
pv.CacheAPI is hard to use.Unable to access C++ utility functions from external add-ons.
Render Jobs are weird and difficult to use
No good way of rendering a chunk of frames (this will be useful for multicore export).
Solutions
The effects should not exist in the folder
pvkernel/addons. They should be in their own folder, but may be copied to pvkernel/addons` when building the wheel.Instead of render jobs, we will have props and operators under the namespace
render. These will handle the rendering.In each release,
pvutils.hppfile is provided. This is the header for utility functions.
