# New Features and Enhancements

This release of Ocula is exclusively for Nuke 15.0 for all platforms. The functionality of all nodes remains the same as previous releases of Ocula, which should still be used for older releases of Nuke.

## VFX Reference Platform 2023

Ensure your pipeline runs smoothly with Nuke 15.0’s full support for VFX Reference Platform 2023, bringing full compatibility and seamless integration with the rest of your updated software packages. We’re replacing CentOS 7 with Rocky 9 and releasing early to give you time to transition.

Still need time to update your workflows, run tests, and finish existing projects? With our first ever dual release you can upgrade to Nuke 14.1 to finish your current projects running on VFX RP 2022 and CentOS 7, and when your studio is ready to make the jump to Rocky 9 or equivalent, Nuke 15.0 will be there to make your pipeline transition easier.

## Native Apple Silicon Support

Say hello to up to 20% faster general processing speeds with Nuke 15.0’s native Apple silicon support. You can now use the full power of your Mac while taking advantage of all the latest workflows.

# Bug Fixes

There are no bug fixes in this release.

# Known Issues and Workarounds

• ID 407149 - StereoReviewGizmo: Adding a FullPipeline toolset from the Ocula menu before adding stereo views to the script disables some controls in the Properties panel of the StereoReviewGizmo.
As a workaround, set up the stereo views in the Project Settings before adding the FullPipeline toolset.

• ID 153813 - Late 2013 Mac Pros only: When enabled in Nuke's Preferences, all Ocula nodes indicate that 2 GPUs are in use in their properties, when in fact, Ocula nodes only employ 1 GPU at a time.

• ID 141910 - Ocula's ReviewGizmos and Toolsets require standard left and right views to operate correctly.

• ID 140906 - O_Solver: Deleting or manipulating feature matches does not currently create an undo stack.

• ID 139604 - O_Solver: The Viewer doesn't update after enabling downstream nodes with postage stamps enabled.

• ID 138346 - O_Solver: The Preview Alignment overlay is not displayed until you mouse-over the Viewer.
