Change Log

Below is a “sanitized” version of the Daz Studio v6.x (2025) change log. This information is posted as part of a conscious effort to be more transparent in the development process. Not all information relating to a particular build is presented on this page - some information is still considered private and is therefore not included.

General Release Channel

This is the channel where the “production ready” build is distributed to the general public.

Public Build Channel

This is the channel where the builds that are not considered “production ready” yet are provided for testing by the general public. This channel typically provides a build that is in the BETA phase of development, but technically can provide a build in the ALPHA phase.

  • The avatar for the active camera of a given viewport is no longer drawn in that viewport
    • Implements a behavior of 4.x builds
    • Use of wide aspect ratios in earlier builds could result in the avatar for the active camera being seen within the viewport

DAZ Studio : Incremented build number to 6.25.2025.19107

  • Source maintenance
  • Global::include() now attempts to replicate the result of its use in 4.x builds, rather than the manner in which 4.x results were achieved
    • Global::include() is and will remain deprecated
      • This change is an attempt to ease transition, not perpetuate use
      • include() statements should not be used in new code
      • Transition to require(), and the CommonJS module framework, is recommended - see 6.25.2025.17207
    • include() statements must be fairly simple to parse
      • e.g., var bSuccess = include( “relative/path/to/filename” );
      • e.g., include( App.getSomePath() + “/relative/path/to/filename” );
      • e.g., include( App.getSomePath() + “/relative/path/to/filename” );//trailing comment
      • e.g., include( String( “%1/relative/path/to/filename” ).arg( App.getSomePath() ) );
      • e.g., include( “absolute/path/to/filename” );
    • include() statements should exist early in the script
      • A script may be executed multiple times as it is evaluated to resolve include() statements and replace them with the contents of their respective files
      • Failure to call include() early in a script may result in the work preceding the call(s) being performed as many times as there are statements encountered, hierarchically
    • include() statements should only be called within the global scope of the script - as documented
    • While now functional, this approach is very inefficient (albeit necessary to yield the desired result) - performance may suffer
    • Effectively assuming the behavior of an inline function, Global functions called in scripts that are included operate in the scope of the top-most script
  • Updated scripting API documentation; Global
  • Use of deprecated Global functions in scripts are now logged
  • Daz Script 1 conversion attempts are now logged as obsolete (no longer supported)
