		<description><![CDATA[A while back I did a mod for the hypershade window to add a button for toggling the updating of the thumbnails. Turning off updates can improve performance when you are modifying complex shader networks. I've just added a version for maya 2012. The hyperShadePanel.rar on the downloads page now contains 2 new hyperShadePanel.mel versions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Maya 2012 came with a nice looking dynamics plugin called physX and it creates a shelf when it loads. However I don't like the way this becomes the active shelf every time I start maya. I suppose I could unload the plugin, but then I'll have to reload it every time I need it. Fortunately [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The attribute editor in Maya 2012 keeps expanding the Notes roll-out. I'd never noticed this being quite so annoying in previous versions. I'm pretty sure that previously, once I closed it by dragging the divider bar to the bottom of the window, it stayed like that until I pulled it up again. Now, in maya [...]]]></description>

If you've ever encountered something similar to this error // Error: file: D:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2011/scripts/AETemplates/AEhardwareTextureTemplate.mel line 721: Found no attribute match for "mia_material_x1.diffuse" // or this one // [...]]]></description>

This is really just "Maya 2011 Service Pack 1" with a couple of extras thrown in to sweeten the deal for subscribers. For some reason, so far unknown to me, the autodesk devs decided to distribute the subscription advantage pack as "2011.5" while [...]]]></description>
