MI_NEURAYLIB_API_VERSION

#define MI_NEURAYLIB_API_VERSION   52

ABI version number.

A change in this version number indicates that the binary compatibility of the interfaces offered through the shared library have changed.

Despite the name, this number tracks ABI changes, not API changes.

MI_NEURAYLIB_PLUGIN_TYPE

#define MI_NEURAYLIB_PLUGIN_TYPE   "neuray API v44"

Type of plugins for the MDL SDK API.
