What’s New In Deadline 5.1.46697
This release just fixes a few more bugs that have come up since 5.1 was released. Our plan is to do another maintenance release for 5.1 soon to address these issues. If you already have a 5.1 license, a new license is NOT required for this maintenance release.
Launcher Improvements
- The Launcher Service no longer gets stuck in the “Starting” state.
Command Improvements
- The Python engine is now only loaded when running the ExecuteScript commands. This should improve the speed when running other commands.
- The -GetSlaveSetting command now returns the cpuaffinity value correctly.
- The -GetJob command now works with a comma-separated list of job IDs.
Power Management Improvements
- Fixed some bugs in our SNMP code that was preventing Thermal Shutdown from working with certain temperature sensors.
- Fixed a bug in the Machine Startup feature that could occur when there were multiple Power Management groups.
After Effects Improvements
- The integrated submitter now works with CS3 again. Because tabbed panels are not supported in CS3, we had to remove the Shotgun, Draft, and advanced options that are normally available on the 2nd tab page. These options are still available in CS4 and later.
- Added a new “Multi-Machine Rendering” mode feature. This feature works with AE’s “Skip Existing Frames” feature to allow multiple Deadline slaves to work on the entire AE project file simultaneously. The normal method of splitting up frames into tasks is still recommended, but some users had requested this feature.
- Fixed a rounding error when calculating the frame range in the integrated submitter.
FFmpeg Improvements
- File sequences are now supported for input.
Maya Improvements
- 3delight error messages are now caught by Deadline.
- Vray progress reporting is now working properly again.
- Fixed a bug when rendering Maxwell 2.6 jobs with the MayaBatch plugin.
- The MayaCmd plugin can now handle UNC paths on Windows that start with a single slash.
Nuke Improvements
- The integrated submitter now evaluates output paths that contain TCL elements so that the output path can be opened from the Monitor.
