Rush 102.42a6 was released today -- upgrade is Free to all customers.

Just contact me directly via email, erco [at] seriss.com from your
business email address, and I'll supply you with the download info for
the upgrade.

Detailed release notes (dry descriptions/no pretty pictures):
http://www.seriss.com/rush-current/rush/release-notes.html#102.42a6

Outstanding fixes/features:

     o rush -ljf bug that caused extra daemons on unix repaired

     o vfork() now used (unix) to prevent memory overhead on large job servers
       Useful for /large/ facilities with busy unix based job servers.

     o irush now warns about license expirations

     o 'rush -lah' shows warnings if there are too many hosts in the rush/etc/hosts file

     o Irush has resizable columns -- officially released
       (some of you have this already from previous updates or beta tests)

     o Submit-maya6 has some new features and detailed docs.

           o Floating point frame rendering
           o You can now mix Batch Frames and frame increments
           o RenderMan rendering
           o Improvements for MentalRay Standalone rendering with Batching
           o "Help" button (at bottom of submit-maya6 form) has details on how
             to use the multiple modes of submit-maya6.

     o submit-shake-quicktime now supports many new codecs, thanks to submitted
       data from one of the new Rush evalers.

** LINUX/OSX USERS **
    The 'rush -ljf' fix is an *important fix* for those of you have
    unix/osx machines as job servers, and use automated scripts for gathering
    data using 'rush -ljf'. This bug caused multiple rushd daemons to appear
    if the jobid argument to 'rush -ljf' no longer exists. The daemons would then
    fight each other over network messages, causing intermittent 'unknown jobid'
    responses when viewing jobs, and/or other oddities.

    Those of you sometimes noticing frames restarting themselves, or getting
    intermittent responses of 'unknown jobid' for your jobs should take this update
    to solve the problem.
