Thank you!

Looks like a great update!  
The links in the _Documentation_ section of the CHANGELOG are not working. Maybe it is because those pages will go live at the official release next week? Just asking in case it was not expected 🙂

Hey @guillaumelaforge

Thanks for checking these link. Yes these will go live with the release, but if you want to review these, you should be able to just change the “release” with “dev” in the link.

Let me know if that doesn’t work.

Thanks

Hello all,

The 24.05 release has been delayed to incorporate a [fix](https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenUSD/commit/b4ca108ec3b2a92428f38382ad7c54ac3993d38d) for a just-discovered regression  
in imaging for point instancers using native instances as prototypes.

A new release candidate incorporating this fix has been tagged as [24.05-rc2](https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenUSD/releases/tag/v24.05-rc2) on GitHub.

We now anticipate releasing 24.05 on Friday, April 19th.

Thanks

- Varun
