What’s New In Deadline 7.1.1.2 (Release Candidate 2)
This is a patch release for Deadline 7.1 that fixes a few important bugs that were discovered shortly after Deadline 7.1 was released.
Note that a 7.1 license is still required to run this version. If you have a license for Deadline 7.0 or earlier, you will need an updated license. In addition, the version of Draft that ships with Deadline 7.1 needs a new 1.3 license. If you have a license for Draft 1.2 or earlier, you will need an updated license.
Here are the highlighted changes.
General Improvements
- Fixed a bug that prevented Deadline’s popup notifications from staying on top of other windows.
- Whitespace is now supported around separator characters in frame lists (’-’, ‘x’, etc).
- Cleaned up the submission error message that occurs when a job’s frame list isn’t formatted properly in the job info file.
Installer Improvements
- The correct versions of libssl and libcrypto are now installed on Linux by the Client installer.
- The Linux submitter installers are now 64 bit instead of 32 bit.
Slave Improvements
- When the slave is checking if a plugin supports concurrent tasks, it now handles any exceptions and disables concurrent tasks for the plugin for the current dequeue cycle. Before, this type of error would prevent the slave from dequeuing any jobs at all.
Balancer Improvements
- Fixed a bug in the default balancing algorithm that prevented job Limits from being taken into account when starting VM instances.
3ds Max Improvements
- Job batch names now evaluate the custom tokens in the _NameFormats.ini file.
