IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL USERS:
This only applies to users who are running beta 19 or earlier. RC 1 introduced some changes to the Client installer, so anyone running beta 19 or earlier must manually reinstall the Clients, as opposed to using Deadline’s auto-update feature. If you are already running a minimum of RC 1, you will be able to use Deadline’s auto-update feature to upgrade from RC 1 to RC 2 and so on. See the Upgrading documentation in the CHM or PDF Deadline 6 manuals for more information.
The feature set for Deadline 6.0 is essentially complete at this point, and we will be focusing on bug fixes and documentation in the upcoming weeks. We will still accept feature requests, but they will have to wait for a future release. As always, if you find any bugs, let us know ASAP so that we can fix them before 6.0 is released.

What’s New In Deadline 6.0.51480 (RC 5)
This release fixes a few bugs.
General Improvements
- Fixed an error in job submission that occurred if setting IncludeEnvironment to True and using EnvironmentKeyValue# to set a variable that’s already defined in the current environment.
Monitor Improvements
- The console panel no longer gets “disconnected” from the log writer when a new console panel is opened.
- Added timestamp prefixes to the lines in the console panel.
- The Monitor now caches the last 500 lines that it has written to its log, and these lines are now displayed when you open the console panel.
After Effects Improvements
- The tool tip for the Composition setting in the Monitor submitter has been updated.
