# Blender Cloud changelog
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.21 (2021-07-27)
|
|
|
|
- Bump blender-asset-tracer version 1.5.1 → 1.6, for better compatibility with Geometry Nodes.
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.20 (2021-07-22)
|
|
|
|
- Bump blender-asset-tracer version 1.3.1 -> 1.5.1.
|
|
- Blender-asset-tracer "Strict Pointer Mode" disabled, to avoid issues with
|
|
not-entirely-synced library overrides.
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.19 (2021-02-23)
|
|
|
|
- Another Python 3.9+ compatibility fix.
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.18 (2021-02-16)
|
|
|
|
- Add compatibility with Python 3.9 (as used in Blender 2.93).
|
|
- Drop compatibility with Blender 2.79 and older. The last version of the
|
|
Blender Cloud add-on with 2.79 and older is version 1.17.
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.17 (2021-02-04)
|
|
|
|
- This is the last version compatible with Blender 2.77a - 2.79.
|
|
- Upgrade BAT to version 1.3.1, which brings compatibility with Geometry Nodes and
|
|
fixes some issues on Windows.
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.16 (2020-03-03)
|
|
|
|
- Fixed Windows compatibility issue with the handling of Shaman URLs.
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.15 (2019-12-12)
|
|
|
|
- Avoid creating BAT pack when the to-be-rendered file is already inside the job storage
|
|
directory. This assumes that the paths are already correct for the Flamenco Workers.
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.14 (2019-10-10)
|
|
|
|
- Upgraded BAT to 1.2 for missing smoke caches, compatibility with Blender 2.81, and some
|
|
Windows-specific fixes.
|
|
- Removed warnings on the terminal when running Blender 2.80+
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.13 (2019-04-18)
|
|
|
|
- Upgraded BAT to 1.1.1 for a compatibility fix with Blender 2.79
|
|
- Flamenco: Support for Flamenco Manager settings versioning + for settings version 2.
|
|
When using Blender Cloud Add-on 1.12 or older, Flamenco Server will automatically convert the
|
|
Manager settings to version 1.
|
|
- More Blender 2.80 compatibility fixes
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.12 (2019-03-25)
|
|
|
|
- Flamenco: Change how progressive render tasks are created. Instead of the artist setting a fixed
|
|
number of sample chunks, they can now set a maximum number of samples for each render task.
|
|
Initial render tasks are created with a low number of samples, and subsequent tasks have an
|
|
increasing number of samples, up to the set maximum. The total number of samples of the final
|
|
render is still equal to the number of samples configured in the blend file.
|
|
Requires Flamenco Server 2.2 or newer.
|
|
- Flamenco: Added a hidden "Submit & Quit" button. This button can be enabled in the add-on
|
|
preferences and and then be available on the Flamenco Render panel. Pressing the button will
|
|
silently close Blender after the job has been submitted to Flamenco (for example to click,
|
|
walk away, and free up memory for when the same machine is part of the render farm).
|
|
- Flamenco: Name render jobs just 'thefile' instead of 'Render thefile.flamenco.blend'.
|
|
This makes the job overview on Flamenco Server cleaner.
|
|
- Flamenco: support Shaman servers. See https://www.flamenco.io/docs/user_manual/shaman/
|
|
for more info.
|
|
- Flamenco: The 'blender-video-chunks' job type now also allows MP4 and MOV video containers.
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.11.1 (2019-01-04)
|
|
|
|
- Bundled missing Texture Browser icons.
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.11.0 (2019-01-04)
|
|
|
|
- Texture Browser now works on Blender 2.8.
|
|
- Blender Sync: Fixed compatibility issue with Blender 2.8.
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.10.0 (2019-01-02)
|
|
|
|
- Bundles Blender-Asset-Tracer 0.8.
|
|
- Fix crashing Blender when running in background mode (e.g. without GUI).
|
|
- Flamenco: Include extra job parameters to allow for encoding a video at the end of a render
|
|
job that produced an image sequence.
|
|
- Flamenco: Compress all blend files, and not just the one we save from Blender.
|
|
- Flamenco: Store more info in the `jobinfo.json` file. This is mostly useful for debugging issues
|
|
on the render farm, as now things like the exclusion filter and Manager settings are logged too.
|
|
- Flamenco: Allow BAT-packing of only those assets that are referred to by relative path (e.g.
|
|
a path starting with `//`). Assets with an absolute path are ignored, and assumed to be reachable
|
|
at the same path by the Workers.
|
|
- Flamenco: Added 'blender-video-chunks' job type, meant for rendering the edit of a film from the
|
|
VSE. This job type requires that the file is configured for rendering to Matroska video
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
Audio is only extracted when there is an audio codec configured. This is a bit arbitrary, but it's
|
|
at least a way to tell whether the artist is considering that there is audio of any relevance in
|
|
the current blend file.
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.9.4 (2018-11-01)
|
|
|
|
- Fixed Python 3.6 and Blender 2.79b incompatibilities accidentally introduced in 1.9.3.
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.9.3 (2018-10-30)
|
|
|
|
- Fix drawing of Attract strips in the VSE on Blender 2.8.
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.9.2 (2018-09-17)
|
|
|
|
- No changes, just a different filename to force a refresh on our
|
|
hosting platform.
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.9.1 (2018-09-17)
|
|
|
|
- Fix issue with Python 3.7, which is used by current daily builds of Blender.
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.9 (2018-09-05)
|
|
|
|
- Last version to support Blender versions before 2.80!
|
|
- Replace BAM with BAT🦇.
|
|
- Don't crash the texture browser when an invalid texture is seen.
|
|
- Support colour strips as Attract shots.
|
|
- Flamenco: allow jobs to be created in 'paused' state.
|
|
- Flamenco: only show Flamenco Managers that are linked to the currently selected project.
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.8 (2018-01-03)
|
|
|
|
- Distinguish between 'please subscribe' (to get a new subscription) and 'please renew' (to renew an
|
|
existing subscription).
|
|
- When re-opening the Texture Browser it now opens in the same folder as where it was when closed.
|
|
- In the texture browser, draw the components of the texture (i.e. which map types are available),
|
|
such as 'bump, normal, specular'.
|
|
- Use Interface Scale setting from user preferences to draw the Texture Browser text.
|
|
- Store project-specific settings in the preferences, such as filesystem paths, for each project,
|
|
and restore those settings when the project is selected again. Does not touch settings that
|
|
haven't been set for the newly selected project. These settings are only saved when a setting
|
|
is updated, so to save your current settings need to update a single setting; this saves all
|
|
settings for the project.
|
|
- Added button in the User Preferences to open a Cloud project in your webbrowser.
|
|
|
|
## Version 1.7.5 (2017-10-06)

|
|
|
