NanoVDB: encode points for any resource in PointsToGrid (CUDA) (#2244 )
* NanoVDB: encode points for any resource in PointsToGrid (CUDA) The point-encode step in tools::cuda::PointsToGrid was only reachable for the default DeviceResource, because it lived in the BuildT=Point full specialization of processPoints (i.e. <Point, DeviceResource>). A Point grid built with a custom resource fell through to the generic no-op and was silently left with unencoded point data. Fold the encode into the generic processPoints and gate it with if constexpr(is_same<BuildT, Point>). The encode kernels run on device data and are independent of the resource; only the trailing d_indx deallocation routes through ResourceT. Non-Point builds and default- resource Point builds are unchanged. Add a regression test that builds a NanoGrid<Point> through a custom resource and asserts every input point is recoverable from the encoded per-voxel data. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Harris <mharris@nvidia.com> * NanoVDB: move the point-encode kernels out of the if-constexpr block nvcc rejects an extended lambda defined directly inside the block of an if constexpr statement on some host compilers, so the nine encode launches failed to compile against MSVC while building fine with gcc and clang. Give them their own member function and have the branch call it.

 OpenVDB Version History
 =======================

-Version 12.0.2 - In development
+Version 13.0.1 - In Development
+
+Version 13.0.0 - November 3, 2025
+
+      This version introduces ABI changes relative to older major releases,
+      so to preserve ABI compatibility it might be necessary to define the
+      macro OPENVDB_ABI_VERSION_NUMBER=N, where, for example, N is 11 for
+      Houdini 20.5 and 12 for Houdini 21.0.
+
+      Support for reading .vdb files written prior to VDB 1.0 has been removed.
+      To read older .vdb files, please use VDB 12.x or older and re-write them,
+      so that they use the newer file format and can be read in VDB 13+.
+
+  Highlights:
+  - OpenVDB now includes in-memory support for Half Grids and the file format
+    has been extended to add I/O serialization for half grids. More work is
+    planned on adapting algorithms when using Half Grids for better performance
+    and improved precision.
+  - NanoVDB is no longer limited to static applications, such as rendering, but
+    can increasingly be applied to problems that involve dynamic topology, such
+    as level set tracking, grid building, morphology operations and merging of
+    grids. This is due to the fact that we keep adding more and more tools to
+    NanoVDB that facilitates tree modification. However, unlike OpenVDB, these
+    operations generate new NanoVDB grids (as oppose to in-palace modifications
+    in OpenVDB), yet are typically much faster since they are performed on the
+    GPU. Many of these exciting new features are the foundation of fVDB.
+
+  OpenVDB:
+    New features:
+    - Added native registration of HalfGrid type.
+    - Added customization of the output transformation attribute for
+      points::pca(). Can be output as a quaternion or as a combined affine
+      transform with the scale/stretch ommitted.
+    - Added support for input quaternions attributes and affine
+      transformations (that include scale) in points::rasterizeSdf() for
+      ellipsoidal rasterizations.
+
+    API Changes:
+    - Added LeafBuffer::storage() for direct const access to the raw data
+      buffer when using the bool LeafNode.
+    - Removed Grid::evalMinMax(), use tools::minMax for superior threaded
+      performance.
+    - Removed points::rasterize() that took a custom filter and interrupter.
+    - Removed LeafNode<bool, ...>() TopologyCopy constructor in favor of using
+      explicit mask/buffer constructors.
+    - Removed ValueAccessor NodeT0, NodeT1, NodeT2 aliases, use NodeTypeAtLevel
+      instead.
+    - Add InternalNode::setValueMaskUnsafe() to write a value mask directly.
+    - LegacyFrustum and RootNodeMask have been removed. These classes were only
+      used for reading old .vdb files, which is no longer supported.
+    - io::writeCompressedValues() now takes a const ValueT* source buffer for
+      improved const-correctness.
+
+    Bug Fixes:
+    - Fix a bug in the LevelSetRayIntersector class where two of the methods
+      were incorrectly adjusting the time even when an intersection was not
+      found.
+    - Fixed an assertion in math::Quat where a vector length check was using
+      too small a tolerance.
+    - Fixed a bug in the unit tests where detecting if assertions were enabled
+      was using NDEBUG rather than OpenVDB assertions.
+
+    Build:
+    - Removed the unnecessary USE_NUMPY build option for the OpenVDB Python
+      module. All functions which take numpy arrays are now always generated
+      (numpy is not required at compile time for this support).
+    - Bumped minimum supported CMake version to 3.24, and new future minimum
+      to 4.0.0.
+    - Bumped minimum supported OpenEXR and Imath versions to 3.2, and new
+      future minimum to 3.3.
+    - Bumped minimum supported Boost version to 1.82, and new future minimum
+      to 1.85.
+    - Bumped minimum supported Python version to 3.11
+    - Bumped minimum supported Log4cplus version to 2.0
+    - Bumped minimum supported Houdini version to 20.5
+    - Bumped minimum supported GLFW version to 3.3
+    - Bumped future minimum for TBB to 2021 (oneapi).
+    - Bumped future minimum for nanobind to 2.5.0.
+
+  OpenVDB AX:
+    New:
+    - Added support for LLVM 21.
+
+  NanoVDB:
+    Highlights:
+    - NanoVDB is no longer limited to static applications, such as rendering,
+      but can increasingly be applied to problems that involve dynamic
+      topology, such as level set tracking, grid building, morphology
+      operations and merging of grids. This is due to the fact that we keep
+      adding more and more tools to NanoVDB that facilitates tree modification.
+      However, unlike OpenVDB, these operations generate new NanoVDB grids (as
+      oppose to in-palace modifications in OpenVDB), yet are typically much
+      faster since they are performed on the GPU. Many of these exciting new
+      features are the foundation of fVDB.
+
+    New features:
+    - Added nanovdb/tools/cuda/DilateGrid.cuh, which performs topology dilation
+      on the GPU.
+    - Added nanovdb/tools/cuda/MergeGrids.cuh, which merges the topology of two
+      grids on the GPU.
+    - Added nanovdb/tools/cuda/CoarsenGrid.cuh, which performs topological
+      coarsening of grids on the GPU.
+    - Added nanovdb/tools/cuda/RefineGrid.cuh, which performs topological
+      refinement of grids on the GPU.
+    - Added nanovdb/tools/cuda/PruneGrid.cuh, which prunes the topology of a
+      grid using a sidecar mask on the GPU.
+    - Added nanovdb/util/cuda/Injection.cuh, which facilitates sidecar data
+      copying - on the GPU - in the overlap of two grids with different
+      topology.
+    - Added Mat classes and other math types to NanoVDB.
+    - Major rewrite of nanovdb::NanoToOpenVDB, which now allows
+      nanovdb::IndexGrids and blind (or sidecar) data to be converted into an
+      openvdb grid.
+    - Added support for LevelSet, FogVolume, and Staggered grid semantics.
+      Added toGridClass and toSemantic to map Grid Blind data semantic to Grid
+      class and vice versa.
+
+    Improvements:
+    - Improvements to mGPU grid building and introduction of a separate test
+      executable for mGPU tests
+    - Added stand-alone function nanovdb::writeUncompressedGrid that allows
+      nanovdb::IndexGrids and blind (or sidecar) data to be written directly to
+      a stream.
+    - nanovdb_print now (optionally) prints the blind data count per grid.
+    - Extended nanovdb::GridBlindDataSemantic with nanovdb::GridClass types to
+      support conversion between IndexGrid and regular grids.
+    - Improvements and bugfixes to PNanoVDB.
+
+    API Changes:
+    - Removed nanovdb::ValueIndexMask and nanovdb::ValueOnIndexMask since they
+      are no longer used by fVDB (or elsewhere).
+    - NanoVDB version is now 32.9.0, so the ABI of the grid is preserved but
+      not the API. However, the API changes are very minor!
+
+    Bug Fixes:
+    - Several fixes for compiler warnings.
+    - Fixed error in nanovdb/io/IO.h related to missing throws.
+
+  Houdini:
+  - Remove support for openvdb_houdini::Interrupter, use
+    openvdb_houdini::HoudiniInterrupter instead.
+  - Remove input-stealing via duplicateSourceStealable(), SideFX have since
+    introduced verbification and compiled SOPs to provide zero-copy node
+    evaluation.
+
+
+Version 12.1.1 - September 30, 2025
+
+  OpenVDB AX:
+    Fixes:
+    - Fixed an issue which was causing host specific optimization passes to be
+      omitted when using LLVM 16 and higher.
+
+  Houdini:
+    - Fixed a compilation issue with the OpenVDB Activate SOP with Houdini 21
+    [Reported by @callen128]
+
+
+Version 12.1.0 - August 8, 2025
+
+  OpenVDB:
+    New features:
+    - New level set constructor tools::createLevelSetCapsule creates a grid
+      containing a narrow-band level set representation of a capsule (tube
+      with constant radius and sphere caps).
+    - New level set constructor tools::createLevelSetTaperedCapsule creates a
+      grid containing a narrow-band level set representation of a tapered
+      capsule (tube with sphere caps and different radii at both ends, or
+      equivalently the convex hull of two spheres with possibly different
+      centers and radii).
+    - New level set constructor tools::createLevelSetTubeComplex creates a grid
+      containing a narrow-band level set representation of a tube complex (a
+      collection of capsules or tapered capsules defined by endpoint coordinates
+      and segment indices).
+    - New level set constructor tools::createLevelSetDilatedMesh creates a grid
+      containing a narrow-band level set representation of a dilated surface
+      mesh (dilated by a radius in all directions).
+    - New class tools::ConvexVoxelizer, used by the above methods, which can be
+      inherited to implement a convex level set constructor.
+    - Introduced anisotropic surfacing tools in points/PointRasterizeSDF.h and
+      principal component analysis (PCA) methods in points/PrincipalComponentAnalysis.h.
+      The latter tool analyses point neighborhoods and computes affine
+      transformations representing elliptical distributions. The prior tool
+      takes rotational and stretch point attributes (optionally computed from
+      the prior PCA methods) and generates anisotropic surfaces.
+
+    Improvements:
+    - Significantly improved the performance of all LeafNode ValueIterators,
+      up to 5x on some platforms and up to 10x when delay loading is enabled.
+      Construction of a ValueIterator from a leaf node now requests the leaf
+      buffers ahead of iteration to avoid potentially expensive API calls.
+    - Improved the performance of PointRasterizeSDF.h tools with larger radii
+      with better bound computation approximations.
+    - Significant performance improvement to delay loaded files - the warning
+      logic which checks the underlying mapped file for the last modified time
+      has been removed, resulting in performance gains upwards of 10x when
+      loading in node data buffers. Note that the check that was removed is
+      entirely redundant on Windows and would only print a warning on other
+      system.
+      [Contributed by jjtParadox]
+    - Added OPENVDB_HAS_INVOKABLE_MEMBER_FUNCTION and OPENVDB_HAS_MEMBER_FUNCTION
+      macros to help determine the presence and compatibility of interface
+      member functions at compile time.
+    - Added OPENVDB_ASSUME macros to mimic builtin assume and C++23 assume
+      attributes.
+    - Improved read and write of PLY files with vdb_tool so they support Vec3d
+      and 64 bit attributes. Changed vdb_tool version number from 10.6.1 to
+      10.7.0.
+
+    API Changes:
+    - Mat3 and Mat4 functions have been marked [[nodiscard]] where it may be
+      confusing if they are operating in place or returning a result, in
+      particular tranpose, invert, adjoint, and timesDiagonal.
+    - Re-worked the API in PointRasterizeSDF.h with the addition of anisotropic
+      surfacing kernels. The new API exposes more concise free functions which
+      take structs of parameters. The old API remains supported but is
+      deprecated.
+    - Deprecated providing a filter or interrupter as arguments to
+      points::rasterize. These can instead be implemented on user transfer
+      schemes.
+    - Transfer schemes provided to points::rasterize can now optionally
+      implement a rasterizePoints callback that takes a range of points per
+      voxel.
+
+    Fixes:
+    - Fixed a bug in points::rasterizeSpheres and points::rasterizeSmoothSpheres
+      which could cause sections of the generated surface to incorrectly be
+      marked as negative interior values.
+    - Fixed a bug in points::rasterizeSmoothSpheres which could result in
+      incomplete surface reconstruction with significantly larger search
+      distances.
+    - Fixed some precision issues in various Matrix methods.
+    - Fixed bugs in vdb_tool that prevented build with newer namespaces in
+      nanovdb.
+
+  OpenVDB AX:
+    Improvements:
+    - Added support for LLVM versions greater than 15. Upgraded CI to test with
+      LLVM versions 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20.
+    - As of this release, LLVM 15 is the minimum required version for OpenVDB
+      AX. Note that there is an issue with LLVM 17 symbols which makes it
+      incompatible with the OpenVDB Python plugin. AS such, LLVM version 18 and
+      greater are the recommended LLVM versions to use, with LLVM 18 being the
+      new future minimum version.
+    - Significant performance improvement to the compilation of AX kernels when
+      using LLVM 18 and greater.
+    - Significant backend refactoring to AX IR generation to support newer
+      versions of LLVM. In particular, parts of the codegen::Function and
+      codegen::FunctionBuilder API require new usage from LLVM 16 due to
+      the LLVM opaque pointer changes. If you're not using the OpenVDB AX
+      Function codegen API then no client changes should be necessary.
+    - Migrated OpenVDB AX unit tests from cppunit to gtest
+      [Contributed by Tim Straubinger]
+
+    Fixes:
+    - Fixed a case of undefined behaviour when explicitly casting variables to
+      the same type as their storage type e.g:
+        double a; double b = double(a);
+    - Fixed an AX compiler error which would produce invalid IR when using 64bit
+      integer variables for matrix array offsetting e.g:
+        int64 a = 0; mat4f b = 1; float c = b[a,a];
+
+  NanoVDB:
+    - Added nanovdb::openToIndexVDB, which can convert an OpenVDB grid into a
+      NanoVDB IndexGrid.
+    - Added new options "--index" and "--onIndex" to the command-line tool
+      nanovdb_convert so it can produce IndexGrids.
+    - Fixed memory leak in DeviceBuffer.
+    - Added constructor for DeviceBuffer from an existing HostBuffer.
+    - Added VoxelBlockManager, an acceleration structure for sequential access
+      and stencil ops over active voxels.
+    - Added helper functions for kernel launches with shared memory.
+    - Added support for CUDA 13.0.
+    - Fix warnings and compilation errors for GCC and Clang.
+    - Fixed inconsistent usage of util::cuda::mallocAsync/freeAsync that
+      affected vGPUs.
+    - Added support for custom memory resources in PointsToGrid.
+    - Fixed race condition in split/mergeGridHandles.
+    - Fixed offset bug in nanovdb::tools::cuda::IndexToGrid related to non-POD
+      build types.
+      [Contributed by Andreas Henne]
+
+  Houdini:
+    - Define OP_InputIdx and OP_OutputIdx for Houdini 21.0 compatibility
+    - Add Houdini 21 style camera interface to support LOP cameras
+    - Include env flag for avoiding stream writing (was backported to 19.5)

+"""Validate cross-references inside the OpenVDB documentation tree.
+
+Run from the repo root (no arguments) or pass paths to validate explicitly.
+The script scans Markdown (`.md`) and Doxygen narrative (`.txt`) files under
+``doc/`` and checks two classes of cross-reference for staleness:
+
+1. ``#include <path/to/header.h>`` lines that appear inside Markdown
+   ``cpp``/``cuda``/``c``/``c++`` fenced code blocks or inside Doxygen
+   ``@code``/``\\code`` blocks.  Each include is resolved to a real file in
+   ``openvdb/``, ``openvdb_ax/``, ``openvdb_houdini/`` or ``nanovdb/``.
+
+2. ``https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/openvdb/blob/<ref>/<path>``
+   URLs.  The ``<path>`` portion is checked against the local checkout.
+
+The script exits non-zero on any unresolved reference and prints a
+``file:line`` style error so the failure is actionable in CI logs.  It is
+intentionally dependency-free so it can run in a minimal Python container.
+
+This guards against the class of bug tracked in issue #2161, where renames
+under ``nanovdb/util/ -> nanovdb/tools/`` and ``nanovdb/util/IO.h ->
+nanovdb/io/IO.h`` silently left the docs referencing paths that no longer
+exist.

-Find CppUnit include dirs and libraries
-
-Use this module by invoking find_package with the form::
-
-  find_package(CppUnit
-    [version] [EXACT]      # Minimum or EXACT version
-    [REQUIRED]             # Fail with error if CppUnit is not found
-    )
-
-
-IMPORTED Targets
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-``CppUnit::cppunit``
-  This module defines IMPORTED target CppUnit::cppunit, if CppUnit has been
-  found.
-
-Result Variables
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-This will define the following variables:
-
-``CppUnit_FOUND``
-  True if the system has the CppUnit library.
-``CppUnit_VERSION``
-  The version of the CppUnit library which was found.
-``CppUnit_INCLUDE_DIRS``
-  Include directories needed to use CppUnit.
-``CppUnit_RELEASE_LIBRARIES``
-  Libraries needed to link to the release version of CppUnit.
-``CppUnit_RELEASE_LIBRARY_DIRS``
-  CppUnit release library directories.
-``CppUnit_DEBUG_LIBRARIES``
-  Libraries needed to link to the debug version of CppUnit.
-``CppUnit_DEBUG_LIBRARY_DIRS``
-  CppUnit debug library directories.
-
-Deprecated - use [RELEASE|DEBUG] variants:
-
-``CppUnit_LIBRARIES``
-  Libraries needed to link to CppUnit.
-``CppUnit_LIBRARY_DIRS``
-  CppUnit library directories.
-
-Cache Variables
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The following cache variables may also be set:
-
-``CppUnit_INCLUDE_DIR``
-  The directory containing ``cppunit/Portability.h``.
-``CppUnit_LIBRARY``
-  The path to the CppUnit library.
-
-Hints
-^^^^^
-
-Instead of explicitly setting the cache variables, the following variables
-may be provided to tell this module where to look.
-
-``CppUnit_ROOT``
-  Preferred installation prefix.
-``CPPUNIT_INCLUDEDIR``
-  Preferred include directory e.g. <prefix>/include
-``CPPUNIT_LIBRARYDIR``
-  Preferred library directory e.g. <prefix>/lib
-``CPPUNIT_DEBUG_SUFFIX``
-  Suffix of the debug version of CppUnit libs. Defaults to "_d".
-``SYSTEM_LIBRARY_PATHS``
-  Global list of library paths intended to be searched by and find_xxx call
-``CPPUNIT_USE_STATIC_LIBS``
-  Only search for static cppunit libraries
-``DISABLE_CMAKE_SEARCH_PATHS``
-  Disable CMakes default search paths for find_xxx calls in this module

+Highlights:
+- OpenVDB now includes in-memory support for Half Grids and the file format
+  has been extended to add I/O serialization for half grids. More work is
+  planned on adapting algorithms when using Half Grids for better performance
+  and improved precision.
+- NanoVDB is no longer limited to static applications, such as rendering, but
+  can increasingly be applied to problems that involve dynamic topology, such
+  as level set tracking, grid building, morphology operations and merging of
+  grids. This is due to the fact that we keep adding more and more tools to
+  NanoVDB that facilitates tree modification. However, unlike OpenVDB, these
+  operations generate new NanoVDB grids (as oppose to in-palace modifications
+  in OpenVDB), yet are typically much faster since they are performed on the
+  GPU. Many of these exciting new features are the foundation of fVDB.
+
+@par
+OpenVDB:
+- New features:
+  - Added native registration of HalfGrid type.
+  - Added customization of the output transformation attribute for
+    @vdblink::points::pca points::pca@endlink. Can be output as a quaternion
+    or as a combined affine transform with the scale/stretch ommitted.
+  - Added support for input quaternions attributes and affine transformations
+    (that include scale) in
+    @vdblink::points::rasterizeSdf points::rasterizeSdf@endlink for
+    ellipsoidal rasterizations.
+
+- API Changes:
+  - Added @c openvdb::tree::LeafBuffer::storage()
+    for direct const access to the raw data buffer when using the bool LeafNode.
+  - Removed Grid::evalMinMax(), use
+    @vdblink::tools::minMax tools::minMax@endlink for superior threaded
+    performance.
+  - Removed points::rasterize() that took a custom filter and interrupter.
+  - Removed LeafNodeBool TopologyCopy constructor in favor of using explicit
+    mask/buffer constructors.
+  - Removed @vdblink::tree::ValueAccessor ValueAccessor@endlink NodeT0,
+    NodeT1, NodeT2 aliases, use NodeTypeAtLevel instead.
+  - Add @vdblink::tree::InternalNode::setValueMaskUnsafe() InternalNode::setValueMaskUnsafe()@endlink
+    to write a value mask directly.
+  - LegacyFrustum and RootNodeMask have been removed. These classes were
+    only used for reading old .vdb files, which is no longer supported.
+  - @vdblink::io::writeCompressedValues() io::writeCompressedValues()@endlink
+    now takes a const ValueT* source buffer for improved const-correctness.
+
+- Bug Fixes:
+  - Fix a bug in the
+    @vdblink::tools::LevelSetRayIntersector LevelSetRayIntersector@endlink class
+    where two of the methods were incorrectly adjusting the time even when an
+    intersection was not found.
+  - Fixed an assertion in @vdblink::math::Quat math::Quat@endlink where a
+    vector length check was using too small a tolerance.
+  - Fixed a bug in the unit tests where detecting if assertions were enabled
+    was using @c NDEBUG rather than OpenVDB assertions.
+
+- Build:
+  - Removed the unnecessary @c USE_NUMPY build option for the OpenVDB Python
+    module. All functions which take numpy arrays are now always generated
+    (numpy is not required at compile time for this support).
+  - Bumped minimum supported CMake version to 3.24, and new future minimum to
+    4.0.0.
+  - Bumped minimum supported OpenEXR and Imath versions to 3.2, and new
+    future minimum to 3.3.
+  - Bumped minimum supported Boost version to 1.82, and new future minimum to
+    1.85.
+  - Bumped minimum supported Python version to 3.11
+  - Bumped minimum supported Log4cplus version to 2.0

+
+- New features:

+    dilation on the GPU.
+  - Added <TT>nanovdb/tools/cuda/MergeGrids.cuh</TT>, which merges the topology
+    of two grids on the GPU.
+  - Added <TT>nanovdb/tools/cuda/CoarsenGrid.cuh</TT>, which performs topological

+  - Added <TT>nanovdb/tools/cuda/RefineGrid.cuh</TT>, which performs topological
+    refinement of grids on the GPU.
+  - Added <TT>nanovdb/tools/cuda/PruneGrid.cuh</TT>, which prunes the topology of
+    a grid using a sidecar mask on the GPU.
+  - Added <TT>nanovdb/util/cuda/Injection.cuh</TT>, which facilitates sidecar
+    data copying - on the GPU - in the overlap of two grids with different
+    topology.
+  - Added Mat classes and other math types to NanoVDB.
+  - Major rewrite of nanovdb::NanoToOpenVDB, which now allows
+    nanovdb::IndexGrids and blind (or sidecar) data to be converted into
+    an openvdb grid.
+  - Added support for LevelSet, FogVolume, and Staggered grid semantics.
+    Added toGridClass and toSemantic to map Grid Blind data semantic to
+    Grid class and vice versa.
+
+- Improvements:
+  - Improvements to mGPU grid building and introduction of a separate test
+    executable for mGPU tests
+  - Added stand-alone function nanovdb::writeUncompressedGrid that allows
+    nanovdb::IndexGrids and blind (or sidecar) data to be written directly
+    to a stream.
+  - @c nanovdb_print now (optionally) prints the blind data count per grid.
+  - Extended nanovdb::GridBlindDataSemantic with nanovdb::GridClass types
+    to support conversion between IndexGrid and regular grids.
+  - Improvements and bugfixes to PNanoVDB.
+
+- API Changes:
+  - Removed nanovdb::ValueIndexMask and nanovdb::ValueOnIndexMask since
+    they are no longer used by fVDB (or elsewhere).
+  - NanoVDB version is now 32.9.0, so the ABI of the grid is preserved
+    but not the API. However, the API changes are very minor!
+
+- Bug Fixes:
+  - Several fixes for compiler warnings.
+  - Fixed error in <TT>nanovdb/io/IO.h</TT> related to missing throws.

+OpenVDB:
+- New features:
+  - New level set constructor tools::createLevelSetCapsule creates a grid
+    containing a narrow-band level set representation of a capsule (tube
+    with constant radius and sphere caps).
+  - New level set constructor tools::createLevelSetTaperedCapsule creates a
+    grid containing a narrow-band level set representation of a tapered
+    capsule (tube with sphere caps and different radii at both ends, or
+    equivalently the convex hull of two spheres with possibly different
+    centers and radii).
+  - New level set constructor tools::createLevelSetTubeComplex creates a grid
+    containing a narrow-band level set representation of a tube complex (a
+    collection of capsules or tapered capsules defined by endpoint coordinates
+    and segment indices).
+  - New level set constructor tools::createLevelSetDilatedMesh creates a grid
+    containing a narrow-band level set representation of a dilated surface
+    mesh (dilated by a radius in all directions).
+  - New class tools::ConvexVoxelizer, used by the above methods, which can be
+    inherited to implement a convex level set constructor.
+  - Introduced anisotropic surfacing tools in points/PointRasterizeSDF.h and
+    principal component analysis (PCA) methods in points/PrincipalComponentAnalysis.h.
+    The latter tool analyses point neighborhoods and computes affine
+    transformations representing elliptical distributions. The prior tool
+    takes rotational and stretch point attributes (optionally computed from
+      the prior PCA methods) and generates anisotropic surfaces.
+
+- Improvements:
+  - Significantly improved the performance of all LeafNode ValueIterators,
+    up to 5x on some platforms and up to 10x when delay loading is enabled.
+    Construction of a ValueIterator from a leaf node now requests the leaf
+    buffers ahead of iteration to avoid potentially expensive API calls.
+  - Improved the performance of PointRasterizeSDF.h tools with larger radii
+    with better bound computation approximations.
+  - Significant performance improvement to delay loaded files - the warning
+    logic which checks the underlying mapped file for the last modified time
+    has been removed, resulting in performance gains upwards of 10x when
+    loading in node data buffers. Note that the check that was removed is
+    entirely redundant on Windows and would only print a warning on other
+    system.
+    [Contributed by jjtParadox]
+  - Added OPENVDB_HAS_INVOKABLE_MEMBER_FUNCTION and OPENVDB_HAS_MEMBER_FUNCTION
+    macros to help determine the presence and compatibility of interface
+    member functions at compile time.
+  - Added OPENVDB_ASSUME macros to mimic builtin assume and C++23 assume
+    attributes.
+  - Improved read and write of PLY files with vdb_tool so they support Vec3d
+    and 64 bit attributes. Changed vdb_tool version number from 10.6.1 to
+    10.7.0.
+
+- API Changes:
+  - Mat3 and Mat4 functions have been marked [[nodiscard]] where it may be
+    confusing if they are operating in place or returning a result, in
+    particular tranpose, invert, adjoint, and timesDiagonal.
+  - Re-worked the API in PointRasterizeSDF.h with the addition of anisotropic
+    surfacing kernels. The new API exposes more concise free functions which
+    take structs of parameters. The old API remains supported but is
+    deprecated.
+  - Deprecated providing a filter or interrupter as arguments to
+    points::rasterize. These can instead be implemented on user transfer
+    schemes.
+  - Transfer schemes provided to points::rasterize can now optionally
+    implement a rasterizePoints callback that takes a range of points per
+    voxel.
+
+- Fixes:
+  - Fixed a bug in points::rasterizeSpheres and points::rasterizeSmoothSpheres
+    which could cause sections of the generated surface to incorrectly be
+    marked as negative interior values.
+  - Fixed a bug in points::rasterizeSmoothSpheres which could result in
+    incomplete surface reconstruction with significantly larger search
+    distances.
+  - Fixed some precision issues in various Matrix methods.
+  - Fixed bugs in vdb_tool that prevented build with newer namespaces in
+    nanovdb.

+OpenVDB AX:
+- Improvements:
+  - Added support for LLVM versions greater than 15. Upgraded CI to test with
+    LLVM versions 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20.
+  - As of this release, LLVM 15 is the minimum required version for OpenVDB
+    AX. Note that there is an issue with LLVM 17 symbols which makes it
+    incompatible with the OpenVDB Python plugin. AS such, LLVM version 18 and
+    greater are the recommended LLVM versions to use, with LLVM 18 being the
+    new future minimum version.
+  - Significant performance improvement to the compilation of AX kernels when
+    using LLVM 18 and greater.
+  - Significant backend refactoring to AX IR generation to support newer
+    versions of LLVM. In particular, parts of the codegen::Function and
+    codegen::FunctionBuilder API require new usage from LLVM 16 due to
+    the LLVM opaque pointer changes. If you're not using the OpenVDB AX
+    Function codegen API then no client changes should be necessary.
+  - Migrated OpenVDB AX unit tests from cppunit to gtest
+    [Contributed by Tim Straubinger]
+
+- Fixes:
+  - Fixed a case of undefined behaviour when explicitly casting variables to
+    the same type as their storage type e.g:
+      double a; double b = double(a);
+  - Fixed an AX compiler error which would produce invalid IR when using 64bit
+    integer variables for matrix array offsetting e.g:
+      int64 a = 0; mat4f b = 1; float c = b[a,a];

+NanoVDB:
+  - Added nanovdb::openToIndexVDB, which can convert an OpenVDB grid into a

+  - Added new options "--index" and "--onIndex" to the command-line tool
+    nanovdb_convert so it can produce IndexGrids.
+  - Fixed memory leak in DeviceBuffer.
+  - Added constructor for DeviceBuffer from an existing HostBuffer.
+  - Added VoxelBlockManager, an acceleration structure for sequential access
+    and stencil ops over active voxels.
+  - Added helper functions for kernel launches with shared memory.
+  - Added support for CUDA 13.0.
+  - Fix warnings and compilation errors for GCC and Clang.

 * **Does NanoVDB depend on and require CUDA?**

-  No, NanoVDB is by design agnostic and works with most graphics APIs, e.g. OpenGL, OpenCL, OptiX, CUDA, HLSL, GLSL, DirectX, and even the CPU! The data structure itself (defined in [NanoVDB.h](https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/openvdb/blob/master/nanovdb/nanovdb/NanoVDB.h) and [PNanoVDB.h](https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/openvdb/blob/master/nanovdb/nanovdb/PNanoVDB.h)) only depends on C++11 or C99. However, some of the auxiliary math classes are optionally optimized with intrinsic CUDA calls (e.g. fma in Vec3) and some of the [Allocator](https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/openvdb/blob/master/nanovdb/nanovdb/util/CudaDeviceBuffer.h) uses CUDA for explicit memory management. It should be straightforward to replace (or remove) these CUDA dependencies if you so desire.
