New maintenance releases of the 3dsmax (6.0.1), maya (6.0.2) and xsi (6.0.2) are available now.
ftp://ftp.pipelinefx.com/pub/jobtypes/6.0/Changes from their previous versions are listed below.
----
[3dsmax]
@RELEASE: 6.0-1
This release is designed to work with Qube! version 6.0-x.
@FIX: attempt to fix "3dsmax.exe PID not found" error
ZD: 2466 2329
@FIX: adjusted code to NOT render to default image output file even if the
outputfile parameter is empty, if render elements are present in the
scene.
In some cases, it was generating unneeded image files.
ZD: 3380
@FIX: in-app submission fixed to take frame range values from correct source.
BUGZID: 63469
@FIX: Added "use File::Temp;" to fix issue with DBR not working.
ZD: 2466
@FIX: modified code that replaces backslashes to forward slashes in the
scenefile path before passing it to the "qube.exe" command line as one of
the args.
It was causing UNC paths to not work with 3dsmax batch render jobs, because
the "copy" command expects UNC paths to use backslashes.
ZD: 2281
@FIX: modified regex to detect 3dsmax Design versions properly also, in
getAppVersion().
ZD: 2281
@FIX: Adding agenda_timeout support for legacy 3dsmax jobtype API.
Note that the 3dsmax jobtype API's fron-tend support has been obsoleted,
and the back-end code may also be obsoleted soon, so it is not recommended
to be used in any new code. Old code should be modified to use python,
perl, or the c++ Qube API.
ZD: 2229
@NEW: Added feature to tell subjob to NOT create a working copy of the
scenefile, or to copy it to a local tmp folder instead of the default,
which is the original scene folder.
ZD: 1719
BUGZID:
@DOCS: updated 3dsmax/README-DBR.txt with V-Ray DR info.
BUGZID:
ZD: 1709

ZD: 2245

output paths when multi-pass mental ray renders are performed, and
correctly put it in OutputPaths.
ZD: 2056

even if the "ignoreRenderTimeErrors" is set.
ZD: 1912
@CHANGE: mayajt: removing built-in (and questionable) frame-retry from
MayaJob.pm

----
[xsi]
@RELEASE: 6.0-2
@SUMMARY:
This is a maintenance release, with a few fixes, and one new feature, where a
user may submit separate jobs representing each pass in the scene.
@FIX: xsi jobtype: when requestwork() returns "waiting", the backend should
sleep and retry.
ZD: 3457
@FIX: xsi jt issue where unwanted passes will be rendered if the scene
contains passes with names that are substrings of the specified
(to-be-rendered) pass
BUGZID: 63266
@NEW: xsijt: added "Submit Job Per Pass..." Qube menu option, which allows the
submission of each pass in the scene as a separate job.
Also updated USAGE section in the README to reflect the change.
@FIX: xsijt: fixed OnQubeSubmit() and OnQubeSubmitBatch() to respect
"FrameRangeSource", and pick up the correct frame range.
