poll() function is now a static method in python, this is more correct, matching C where the operator is not created to run poll.
def poll(self, context): ...
is now...
@staticmethod
def poll(context): ...
Pythons way of doing static methods is a bit odd but cant be helped :|
This does make subclassing poll functions with COMPAT_ENGINES break, so had to modify quite a few scripts for this.
Note: this is tested and work with metaclass registering. If it doesn't work with registering lists (as currently in svn), I can still commit the metaclass method...
- multires cache files and image .tex cache support in dependency list
- Compare md5 of files before using a local copy (not one transfered by netrender). Could be changed to a simpler CRC if speed is an issue. The goal is not to have a strong crypto signature but just to detect outdated local files.
- Reduce slave timeout to 5 minutes (down from 30). Slaves should report at most every 30s, there's no reason for a value to be that high.
- Reorder the presentation tables on the main web page (job list is more important)
- Collapse dependency list by default on job page (only show main file and headers for other files, point cache and fluid cache)
- Slave option (default: True) to also output render log to the console (as well as the usual copy to the master)
* Client connection is made from panel poll functions even if
netrender is disabled
* Network render slave should print when it has connected to server,
now it says "node initiation", I initially thought this meant it was
not connected yet.
* Web interface should auto-refresh, I got confused if job and slaves
were actually found or not.
Slave and Master options to delete files when closed (default True for slave, False for Master)
Web interface option to remove files (on master) when deleting a job (or all jobs)
Web interface button to pause a job
- Add "Get Result" button after a job has been sent (this calls Animate and fetches the results back as render result buffers)
- Rendering (animate or single frame) without an active job was broken. Note that this launches a new job for each frame (it's impossible in a render engine to know if an animation is being rendered or a single frame only).
Display job status in web interface
Better use of Reports api for errors and success notifications
Don't show some Client options if server address is default (hasn't been scanned or entered manually yet)
* Some code cleanups to match layout file code guidelines.
* Ported Operator Labels to op file itself.
* Added some Tooltips, theeth: Feel free to change/improve them as you like. :)
