changed how inputs were requested to ensure correct handling of passed through layers/channels.
1.4.5
updated to support C++11 for Nuke 11.3 build.
1.4.4
refactored how input channels were handled to accommodate instances where “all” was requested. This will ultimately fix issues related to a higher number of channels being convolved due to how channel indicies are created.
1.4.3
added C++11 support for Nuke 11.0.
updated build settings for Nuke 11.0 compatibility.
1.4.2
re-factored caching calls within engine to avoid access deadlock

added support for a PG_BOKEH_ABORT_ON_LICENSE_FAIL environment variable that, if set to 1, will cause Bokeh to abort if a license isn’t available.
fixed a bug introduced in 1.4.0 which caused Bokeh to render at sub-optimal speed.
1.4.0
updated log output to print to stdout.
Bokeh will now watermark the output when no license is valid vs. aborting the render.
updates to support Nuke 9.0
changes to kernel generation and initialization to avoid locking issues.
fixed a bug that was causing way to many threads to be created.
