A new 6.2.2 maintenance release is now available for the QubeGUI v6.2. This is a recommended release for all customers running QubeGUI v6.2.
Below is a list of the fixes and enhancements.
================================================
6.2.2 FEATURES AND FIXES
-------------------------
=========================
New features
=========================
@NEW: Added mental ray 3.9.1 (Autodesk Maya 2012) support
@NEW: Added in-app submission for Cinema4D.
@NEW: add in sanity check on upper limit for number of subjobs during
GUI-initiated job modification, eliminate user error which could overload the
supervisor. Upper limit is the lesser of (the agenda size + 10%) or (total
number of active slots in the farm).
@NEW: modifying the subjob count will retry or retire subjobs to bring the
running subjob count up to the new subjob count; if the job has 10 subjobs, 6
of which are complete/failed/killed, and it's modified to 15 subjobs, the 6
done subjobs will be automatically retried. If the subjob count is modified to
be less than the number of running/pending/blocked subjobs, subjobs are
retired, pending/blocked before running.
@NEW: New AppUI directory structure for distribution of in-app scripts.
=========================
Changes in behavior
=========================
@CHANGE: modifying the GUI to run under "console" mode under Windows, so that
it's messages may be redirected and captured.
@CHANGE: use fixed-width font for stdout/stderr logpanes when locale is set to
en_US, to avoid errors when displaying Japanese and other double-byte
characters
@CHANGE: better sorting of subjob candidates for retire/retry. Desired
behavior is to keep the active and running subjobs near the top of the list
(lower subjob ID's), and the completed/retired ones at the bottom of the list.
Retry lower id's before higher id's, retire higher id's before lower ones.
=========================
Fixes
