    Smart Share

    SmartShare is a feature where the system automatically expands job instances to fill up idle, or "surplus", worker job slots.

    The expansion is automatically balanced among jobs, so that each job gets an equal number of surplus job slots.

    Flight-Checks (Preflights and Postflights)

    Flight checks, AKA preflights and postflights, are programs and/or scripts that are run on the worker just before and after the actual job or agenda starts.

    The exit codes of flight checks determine the processing and exit status of their respective job instances or agendas.

    Windows MySQL upgraded from 5.1 to 5.5.37

    MySQL 5.5 running on Windows offers a significant performance increase over previous MySQL versions; prior to 5.5, MySQL used a port of the linux threading model on Windows.  In MySQL 5.5, Oracle switched MySQL over to the native Windows threading, resulting in greatly improved performance.

    The version of MySQL automatically installed on a Windows supervisor has been upgraded from 5.1 to 5.5.  

    If you are upgrading an supervisor from a version prior to 6.6-0, your supervisor's MySQL and all the tables will be automatically upgraded from 5.1 to 5.5.

    Warning
    Since the database tables are upgraded during a supervisor upgrade, it is not recommended to downgrade a supervisor back to Qube! 6.5 or earlier once that supervisor has been upgraded to Qube! 6.6.

    Ubuntu support added

    Qube! is now supported on Ubuntu 12.0.4-LTS

    Python-based "Load Once" jobs now supported on Windows

    Python-based "LoadOnce" jobs are currently limited to Nuke and Houdini, but this will allow for easier integration of applications which provide a Python API or prompt mode.

    Auto-Wrangling enabled by default

    Auto-Wrangling has been enabled by default in Qube! 6.6.  If you're upgrading and do not have the supervisor_language_flags value explictly set and do not wish to enable auto-wrangling, ensure that you specify an explicit value for this parameter.
