Gaffer 1.3.0.0 is now available. This release has a major focus on improvements to colour management, with the 3D and UV Viewers now colour managed, new workflows to configure OCIO at both the script and context level, and the ACES Studio OpenColorIO config now used by default. Gaffer 1.3 is a big step forward for all things colour.

In addition to the colour management improvements, the Gaffer 1.3.0.0 release also features significant improvements to image performance, new and updated nodes, a new light tool for manipulating spot lights in the Viewer, further improvements to expansion management, an update to Cycles 3.5, and a variety of other features, fixes, updates and improvements.
