We've released
OpenEXR v3.1, and we'd very much like to see this included in next year's VFX reference platform.
This represents the first substantial new functionality added to OpenEXR in many years, in the form of significantly optimized, thread-safe file I/O. The v3.1 release introduces this as an additional "OpenEXRCore" library (written in C for greater portability), which for now leaves the existing functionality unchanged, so the there should be low risk to applications using the 3.0 (or previous) interface.
Thanks,
- Cary
