What’s New In Deadline 7.1.0.27 (Release Candidate 2)

This is the second release candidate for Deadline 7.1, and includes various bug fixes and minor improvements.

Deadline 7.1 is now feature locked, and we will primarily be focusing on bug fixes over the next month or so. That being said, we are always accepting feature requests for future versions of Deadline.

Here are the highlighted changes:

General Improvements

  • User permissions for web service scripts are no longer stored in the DB. Note that you will still see an option for it in the user group permissions if it was previously stored in the DB.

Installer Improvements

  • Updated the background image in the DMG file for Mac OS X to match the image used in the installers.
  • Permissions are now set properly on the integrated submission scripts that are installed by the Submitter Installers.

Launcher Improvements

  • Renamed LauncherDaemonStartupDelay to LauncherServiceStartupDelay in deadline.ini, and it’s now applied to all 3 operating systems.

Monitor Improvements

  • Resizing the Key/Value dialog for the Environment and Extra Info settings in the job properties now resizes the key and value fields.
  • The CheckTemperatureSensors.py script now updates automatically using a background thread.
  • When launching new instances from the Cloud panel, an error message is now displayed if an error occurs while changing regions. Also improved the error message that is shown when launching instances fails.
  • Fixed a bug in the Configure Cloud Providers dialog that prevented you from adding a region with the same name as a region that was removed during the same session.
  • Fixed how the filter was being set in the Reports panel when viewing reports for a specific task.

Slave Improvements

  • When the slave updates the current job’s timeout during rendering, it now properly updates the timeout type (regular task timeout or auto task timeout).
  • The slave now reloads the job it’s rendering when reporting an error for a task before checking if the task should be marked as failed.
  • The slave now injects its log into the requeue report that is generated when a minor error occurs (AbortLevel.Minor).
  • The slave now injects its log into the requeue report that is generated when the slave is shut down while rendering a task.

Command Improvements

  • Added AppendJobFrameRange command to append frames to a job without affecting the job’s existing tasks.

Web Service Improvements

  • Fixed a DateTime parsing error in the Mobile_GetJobList.py web service script.
  • The web service now returns status code 500 when a web service script throws an error.
  • Web service scripts can now return a status code, as well as additional headers.
  • Added REST function to append frames to a job without affecting the job’s existing tasks.

Scripting Improvements

  • Added RepositoryUtils.GetRegionNameFromId() function to get a region name from its ID.
  • Updated CloudUtils script API since we now use the region ID instead of the region name.
  • Fixed a bug in the Doxygen documentation for a couple power management classes.
  • Added RepositoryUtils.AppendJobFrameRange() function to append frames to a job without affecting the job’s existing tasks.
  • Added standalone Python function Jobs.AppendJobFrameRange() to append frames to a job without affecting the job’s existing tasks.

3ds Max Improvements

  • Fixed State Set crash of SMTD during submission when “Viewport States” are used.
  • When SMTD is loading, or when a new tab is updating its rollouts, you cannot switch away to a different tab now.
  • Fixed a problem with malformed Render Element names when rendering MultiRegion Jigsaw (the tile signature was put before the base name when creating the Draft Assembly control file).
  • Fixed SMTD Jigsaw UI issue where random .NET ListView checkboxes would be enabled/disabled.
  • Updated the version number in the RPM submission script to version 7.
  • Improved the error message when the 3dsmax plugin doesn’t get the expected token from Lighting during initialization.

After Effects Improvements

  • Fixed a text cutoff issue in the integrated After Effects submitter.

Corona Improvements

  • The log box in the Corona DR submitter in 3ds Max now has colored text.

Draft Improvements

  • Updated Draft to v1.3.2.58232, which fixes a memory error crash on Mac OS X when encoding with certain dimensions (ie: 640x480).

Maya Improvements

  • Added support for Renderman RIS for Maya.
  • When exporting Renderman RIB files in the integrated Maya submitter, there is now an option to set the Renderman renderer to RIS.
  • When exporting Renderman RIB files for a scene with layers, a dependent PRMan job is now submitted for each layer.
  • Fixed offset issues when rendering tile and Jigsaw renders with Renderman for Maya.
  • Fixed inverted assembly issue when rendering animation tile jobs with Renderman for Maya.
  • Tile and Jigsaw now works with render layers with Renderman for Maya.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause Jigsaw animation jobs to not submit a dependent assembler job.
  • Jigsaw animation jobs now respect the frame list override when overriding layer settings during submission.
  • Draft Assembly config files are now created in the layer folder that the output is saved to. Before, they were saved to the root image folder.
  • Removed some debugging print statements from the integrated Maya submitter.

PRMan Improvements

  • The PRMan plugin now supports rendering RIB files with layers in the file name.

RVIO Improvements

  • Re-added right-click job script for RVIO submission.

VRay Standalone Improvements

  • When rendering separate vrscene files per frame, the frame padding is now added to the output file name.

VRay Spawner Improvements

  • The log box in the submitter for 3ds Max now has colored text.
  • Fixed a regression in the submitter for 3ds Max.
  • Added Check ALL, INVERT & None button to the submitter for 3ds Max to allow easy Active Server List selection.
  • Added ability to select which Slaves are used for DBR in the submitter for 3ds Max. Disabled Slaves will still continue to run the spawner job until it is deleted or completed.
