What’s New In Deadline 7.1.2.1 (Release Candidate 2)

This is the second patch release for Deadline 7.1, and fixes a few bugs.

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 housecleaning bug that could prevent completed jobs from being automatically cleaned up.
• Fixed a bug when importing a completed job that caused the job’s completed timestamp to be set to the current time.

Monitor Improvements

• Fixed a bug in the ConnectWithAppleRemoteDesktop.py script (it was trying to control “Finder” instead of “Remote Desktop”).

Balancer Improvements

• The Balancer now handles jobs with empty whitelists properly.

3ds Max Improvements

• The 3dsCmd plugin now enforces backslashes in the path to the scene file, output file, and path config file.

Maya Improvements

• Fixed a bug in the MayaBatch plugin that prevented renderer-specific stdout handlers from being set properly.

Azure Improvements

• Updated the Azure API and Azure Plugin to support VM image creation, listing VM images and listing all hardware.
