What’s New In Deadline 5.1.46247
This release just fixes a few more bugs that have come up since 5.1 was released. Our plan is to do a maintenance release for 5.1 early in the new year to address these issues. If you already have a 5.1 license, a new license is NOT required for this maintenance release.
General Improvments
- Removed debut Microsoft VC++ dlls from installation.
- The auto task timeout feature now takes the full task time of completed tasks into account. Before, it only based its calculations on the render times of the tasks.
- Completed job notification emails no longer switch the output path to a “short” path on Windows.
- Fixed some issues with lock files that could cause errors if the previous lock file was created by a different user.
Installer Improvments
- RPM install path is now /opt/Thinkbox/Deadline
- When using the RPM, the shell scripts that get created in the bin folder now point to the correct install path.
Monitor Improvements
- Added option to Remote Control -> Execute Command feature in the Slave list that allows you to execute a remote command and not wait for it to complete.
Slave Improvments
- The tool tip for the system tray icon now shows the name of the Slave it belongs to.
- Fixed a potential crash that could occur if the Slave couln’t purge old error reports from the Repository.
Scripting Improvments
- Some of the path mapping utility functions weren’t logging path replacements to the job render log.
3dsmax Improvements
- Fixed a drop down list tooltip error in SMTD that occurred in 3dsmax 2008 and earlier.
- Maxscript jobs can now work if the scene file isn’t submitted with the job.
- Fixed a couple issues with the latest version of the Maxwell renderer.
- Batch master job no longer failes because it can’t find SubmitterSettingsStruct.ms.
- The Monitor submitter now lets you select the Design edition when submitting a 3dsmax 2012 job.
After Effects Improvements
- Path mapping within aepx files now works properly when an OSX project is rendered on Windows.
- Added a stdout handler to try and catch a Trapcode license error.
Blender Improvements
- The integrated submission script now works again in Blender 2.5 and later. The previous one was developed for a beta version of 2.5, and the Blender API had changed between the beta and release versions.
Cinema 4D Improvements
- The integrated submitter now handles the special case where the output path ends in a digit.
- Changed the “Description” label in the integrated submitter to “Department”.
Nuke Improvements
- The integrated submitter now sets the machine limit propery correctly.
RealFlow Improvements
- The integrated submitter now works on OSX.
Vue Improvements
- The Monitor submitter now has the option to submit Vue 10 jobs.
