Fixed bugs
Instances
- RFCFD-667 - Instances should be created in the same place where the particles are regardless the scene transformation.
Meshing
- RFCFD-680 - Sometimes the number of mesh channels are less than the number of fluids to mix.
Splines

Known bugs
Emitters
- RFCFD-522 - Emitter ID value is not preserved on scene reopening.
Daemons
- RFCFD-551 - Having two or more k Isolated daemons linked to the same fluid makes the isolation value grow as many times as the number of k Isolated linked daemons.
