New features in Fusion 7 will include:

• New interface layouts and “tear off” sections.
• New 3D engine.
• Alembic importing.
• Latest FBX scene importing.
• Linear light and Colorspace control of all source tools and formats.

• Roto Assist – new tooling to speed up rotoscoping.
• Stereo roto mapping.
• 3D splines.
• New Deep Volume tooling.

So far, there is no information about the release date on the company’s website. We’ll update if we hear more.
