v0.2 Release Notes

Bug Fixes

• Client/Server sync
  • Uploaded files already existing in the cloud now get an md5 check against their copies on the shared volume that the render instances boxes use. Previously it was just assumed that if the file existed in one place, it was also in the other. This was causing jobs that were killed shortly after submission to fail.

New Features

• Custom environment support (requires client update)
  • You may now specify a list of environment variables and their values in your config.yml file
• Plugin support (requires client update)
  • Any required plugin files can be provided in the config.yml under the tag "upload_files:"
• Command-line Downloader (requires client update)
  • conductor downloader now has optional --job_id and --task_id flags to immediately download any files for a job and/or task
• App-based instance launching
  • The conductor web app now handles monitoring for jobs and launching new instances
