Hey Thinkbox,
It’s time to properly plan a large show and we’d like to use Houdini 19 for it and deadline is the holdup. I’d love an ETA for the rollout please on your end. 5 months seems like sufficient time at this point, I’m not clear what the why this is so delayed. I’ve seen a bunch of hacks on here but no official support.

I was originally disappointed that it was taking a while for Deadline support for Houdini 19 but at this point I’m wondering if Deadline is still being developed. The last build was released on January 7th 2022 (4 months ago). Compared to their historical release cadence something is funky.
Either they’re prepping for a major update, or Amazon is trying to slowly drop support for Deadline altogether, ala Google Zync Render.
I like to stay optimistic, the original developers are still there so I imagine they’re all hard at work making a totally revamped version, py3 fixes, new ROP, USD/husk options and fully testing it. I expect it’ll get slipped out before easter bank holiday
