Update 4.7.1 - And distance field shadows

[anonymous_user_f2b8b290]

For example in the project settings, there is the option to turn on and off the distance field shadows, but there is also a penumbra size with a default of 0.05. What exactly is this, and what sort of settings would benefit a project like mine.

Sorry for the confusion, this is something we need to fix up. The penumbra size in Renderer project settings is referring to distance field shadowmaps, which are used by Stationary lights. This is completely different from Ray Traced Distance Field shadows, which are used on Movable lights when you enable it.
