What’s New In Deadline 6.2.0.16 (Beta 3)
This release fixes a few bugs and adds a few minor features.
General Improvements
- Updated some Monitor submitters to use the new MakeTopMost() function to keep the submitters on top of all windows.
- Added a Dump Python Objects menu item to the Help -> Debug menu in all applications, which we can use to help diagnose memory leaks.
- Dependency scripts with missing main functions will no longer result in Success.
- Updated azure api and the azure plugin.
Slave Improvements
- A slave will now recognize if its Concurrent Task Limit Override is changed while it’s rendering a job. Previously, it would only recognize it after it finishes its current job.
- A slave will now recognize if its current job’s Limit Tasks To Slave’s Task Limit is changed, and will react accordingly.
Scripting Improvements
- Added MakeTopMost() function to the DeadlineScriptDialog class that can be used to keep the dialog on top of all other windows.
- JobUtils.CalculateJobStatistics() now includes wasted time due to errors and requeues.
3ds Max Improvements
- Added a new “Animation Range” popup ignorer.
- Update 3dsmax.py plugin script to support 3dsMax2014 sp5 release in MaxDescriptionDict.
Sketchup Improvements
- Added a popup-handler because if VRay is installed it will always ask to save the file. This would automatically fail all SketchUp jobs.
- Fixed a tooltip typo.
