Re: YafaRay rendering plug-in
The version 1.4.4 fixes some kind of shadows that could appear on some complex flat surfaces with the version 1.4.3 of the plug-in, like on the door of the dishwasher in the following image.



This is actually a tradeoff on the parameter I changed in the previous version to avoid clear lines at the ceiling border. A few clear pixels may appear a little more in version 1.4.4 but this unwanted shadow line won't appear on this dishwasher (and other 3D objects, I hope).

This version fixes also two memory leaks, one about memory used by texture images and the other about the generated image itself. So, rendering multiple large images with big textures shouldn't require you to relaunch Sweet Home 3D anymore.

Finally, I bundled the .dylib files (macOS DLLs) of the plug-in with the version 6.5.1 of Sweet Home 3D available in the Mac App Store to make it possible to render images with the plug-in under recent macOS versions. However, generated images must still be saved in Library/Containers/com.eteks.sweethome3d.SweetHome3D/Data folder of user's home folder or in a subfolder with that version. It's up to you to move them afterwards.
