# Flamenco Change Log

This file contains the history of changes to Flamenco. Only changes that might
be interesting for users are listed here, such as new features and fixes for
bugs in actually-released versions.

## 3.0-beta3 - in development

- Clean up how version numbers are reported, so that there are no repeats of the
  version (beta2 was reported as `3.0-beta2-v3.0-beta2`).
- Fix an issue running FFmpeg.


## 3.0-beta2 - released 2022-08-31

WARNING: this version is backward incompatible. Any job created with Flamenco
3.0-beta1 will not run with Flamenco 3.0-beta2. Only upgrade after
currently-active jobs have finished, or cancel them.

It is recommended to remove `flamenco-manager.yaml`, restart Flamenco Manager,
and reconfigure via the setup assistant.

- Manager & Add-on: avoid error that could occur when submitting jobs with UDIM files
  ([44ccc6c3ca70](https://developer.blender.org/rF44ccc6c3ca706fdd268bf310f3e8965d58482449)).
- Manager: don't stop when the Flamenco Setup Assistant cannot start a webbrowser
  ([7d3d3d1d6078](https://developer.blender.org/rF7d3d3d1d6078828122b4b2d1376b1aaf2ba03b8b)).
- Change path inside the Linux and macOS tarballs, so that they contain an
  embedded `flamenco-3.x.y-xxxx/` directory with all the files (instead of
  putting all the files in the root of the tarball).
- Two-way variable replacement now also changes the path separators to the target platform.
- Allow setting priority when submitting a job
  ([db9aca4a37e1](https://developer.blender.org/rFdb9aca4a37e1be37f802cb609fddab4308e5e40f)).
- Separate "blender location" and "blender arguments" into two variables
  ([e5a20425c474](https://developer.blender.org/rFe5a20425c474ec93edbe03d2667ec5184f32d3ef)).
  - The variable `blender` now should only point at the Blender executable, for
    example `D:\Blender_3.2_stable\blender.exe`.
  - The variable `blenderArgs` can be used to set the default Blender arguments,
    for example `-b -y`.
- Job storage location can now be made multi-platform by using two-way variables
  ([31cf0a4ecc75](https://developer.blender.org/rF31cf0a4ecc75db127877218af449610ce9d8df1c)).

## 3.0-beta1 - released 2022-08-03

This was the first version of Flamenco to be released to the public, and thus it
serves as the starting point for this change log.
