What’s New In Deadline 7.0.0.51 (Release Candidate 5)
This is the fifth (and likely final) release candidate for Deadline 7, and mainly fixes a few bugs.
Here are the highlighted changes:
Installer Improvements
- The “slavedatadir” command line option for the client installer is now visible in the usage instructions.
Monitor Improvements
- Fixed an OverflowException in the Monitor when loading the balancer list on 32bit windows.
- Fixed a bug in the Scan For Missing Output dialog that would show duplicate paths under a task.
- Fixed a bug with loading pulse and balancer data from the database.
- CMD+R shortcuts now work properly on OSX (ie: resume job, resume task).
- Fixed a bug in the Job Dependency View that could lock up the Monitor when clicking on different jobs.
Slave Improvements
- During each job scan, the slaves cache if a plugin supports concurrent tasks or not to avoid repeatedly reloading that information from the repository.
- Fixed a bug that could result in the slave not reporting its state information accurately.
Pulse Improvements
- Pulse now automatically configures itself at startup to be the primary if there are no current primaries. If there is another primary, a non-blocking popup message is displayed.
- Fixed a Pulse crash that could occur because of a malformed regex in the Auto Configuration settings.
Balancer Improvements
- Balancer now automatically configures itself at startup to be the primary if there are no current primaries. If there is another primary, a non-blocking popup message is displayed.
- Fixed an bug with how the default balancing algorithm is chosen.
Command Improvements
- Fixed a bug with commands that accept a repository path as an argument. The bug would cause deadline command to crash if the repository path was quoted and ended with a \ character (ie: “\server\repository”).
Scripting Improvements
- SlaveHostMachineIPAddressOverride in SlaveSettings now represents the correct value.
