PlotOptiX has moved to OptiX 7 framework in this version. This is a major change, basically a rewrite of entire
ray-tracting engine, followed by several breaking changes in the Python API. Denoiser binaries included in GPU
driver and improved compilation of shaders code are among advantages of the new framework. The long lasting issues
with using PlotOptiX on some hardware configurations, related to the shader compilation should be resolved now.

OptiX 7 shifts significant parts of functionality to the application side. Multi-GPU support and most of the
ray-tracting host state is now maintained by PlotOptiX code. Be warned that this code is fresh! If you spot
problems, go ahead and submit issue to the tracker on GitHub.
