xNormal 3.17.7 released

An update of xNormal was released:

New in Version 3.17.7:

• Added support to import/export WebP images ( which is aimed to replace JPG/JPG2K/GIF/PNG images ). 
• Now it's possible to write image importers/exporters using Java. 
• The FBX mesh importer has been completely rewritten. Now it can load the tangent basis from the files which is specially good if you use the Unity engine. 
• Fixed several bugs ( CS5 filters, problem closing the SBM exporter in 3dsmax, use shortest diagonal, dilation in the OS2TS tool, Optix error message with some GPUs, etc... ).
• Added a new experimental renderer based on the Caustic Graphics / Imagination Technologies's OpenRL ray tracing API. 
• Added a new map type: the derivative normal maps ( which are aimed to replace old-school problematic tangent-space normal maps ).
