CHANGES:

• Added UE5.5 binaries for the Houdini for Unreal plugins.
• Improved the performance of deleting light actors when recooking.
• Fixed data layers and HLODs not being applied correctly to all instancers.
• Fixed hda_level macro not expanding correctly in World Partitioned levels.
• Data Layers and HLOD Layers are now applied to Landscape Streaming Proxies as well as the parent landscapes.
• Updated UI for the multi-asset selection dialog. It is now scrollable, resizable and has display options for hiding parts of node names (namespace, version...).
• Removed benign warning when setting actor labels in world partition levels.
• Fixed bake outlinder folder not being set correctly if specified on a primitive attribute.
• Fixed unreal_output_name not being read correctly for primitive and detail attributes.
• Added support for landscape creation in Unreal 5.5.
• Fixed an issue where the edit layer name could be ignored when creating a landscape.
• Landscape import performance optimizations.
• HDAs are now placed in a dormant state if loaded as a level instance inside a level. Editing the level instance will allow the HDA Component to be cooked. This fixes several issues when using level instances.
• Fixed a regression that caused an infinite loop setting landscape spline segment meshes by attributes.
