5.1 and "Panorama" plugin renders black.

Only epic knows when 5.1.1 will come. As for including the plugin: From my side, do with it what you like. But its epics code in the end. If I remember the EULA correctly you are not allowed to redistribute their code/content. Maybe I am wrong though in this case, I don’t know. But at the very least you could provide a workaround for your users similar to what I did here.
