Welcome to the release notes for this App. Below you will find an overview of all the changes we did for each release. We try to be as detailed as possible and include all bugs we have fixed, features we have added and things that may have changed. If you have questions about a particular release, don't hesitate to contact our support team!

v1.8.0

2021-Jun-02

Rebranded to ShotGrid

v1.7.2

2020-May-27

Improvements to how the UI is built to allow for more customization, and minor improvement to note thumbnails.

Details:

The panel entity tabs are built dynamically at runtime based on tab definitions via a hook. Added new hook shotgun_filters_hook that defines the Shotgun filters used to retrieve the data displayed in the panel tabs. Added new hook method that is called on double-clicking an entity.

v1.7.1

2020-Mar-16

Updated Maya hooks to not use PyMEL, for Python 3 compatibility.

v1.7.0

2020-Feb-12

Adds Python 3 support.

v1.6.4

2019-Sep-16

Fixes an issue when copying a path from the action menu to the clipboard in certain versions of PySide2.

v1.6.3

2018-Aug-07

Added Mp4 to Valid Extensions

v1.6.2

2018-Jul-31

We no longer attempt to navigate the panel in no-display mode.

Details:

We now verify that the app's engine.has_ui is True before attempting to navigate the panel when changing context.

v1.6.1

2018-May-30

Fixes a crash bug when script-key auth is used and the no Shotgun user can be determined.

Details:

If authenticated using an api script key, if the OS current user doesn't match a user name in Shotgun then we store a None for the context's current user. In that situation, we had both a crash bug on launch, as well as various broken features in the panel. This release fixes the crash bug, and handles all other issues gracefully.

v1.6.0

2018-May-18

Adds support for importing publishes as clips in Hiero and Nuke Studio.

Details:

The panel app can now be configured to allow certain types of publishes (images, image sequences, etc) to be imported into Hiero/Nuke Studio as clips.

v1.5.4

2018-Feb-14

Tweaks and bug fixes to playlist actions.

v1.5.3

2018-Feb-12

Fixes an issue with playlist status not working on modern sites.

v1.5.2

2017-Jan-22

Adds fallback logic for determining Nuke frame ranges.

Details:

In the event that a template isn't available, the Nuke import actions will now attempt to parse a frame range from the path of the frame sequence on disk. This behavior mimics that of tk-multi-loader2 and helps ensure that the correct frame range is always set in Nuke Read nodes.

v1.5.1

2018-Jan-19

Minor fix to address an issue in Houdini

v1.5.0

2018-Jan-09

Added support for action groups and an add to playlist action for versions.

v1.4.9

2017-Dec-06

Updated metrics logged

v1.4.8

2017-Sep-09

Play in sg panel now navigates to media player

Details:

This changes the behaviour of the sg panel so that if you click the play icon for a version, it will navigate you to the sg media center page rather than screening room which was previously the case. Back when we originally wrote this code, the media center was not yet released and they did not have proper urls that you can navigate to. This change aligns the behaviour in the panel with what you get in other parts of Shotgun.

v1.4.7

2017-Aug-17

Stops app init when there's no GUI. This resolves issues when PySide is not available.

v1.4.6

2017-Aug-16

2017-Aug-10

2017-Jul-26

Publishes associated with versions are now correctly displayed.

v1.4.3

2017-Jun-27

Removes the browser hierarchy view in favor of the previous search UX.

Details:

The UX for searching Shotgun for an entity has been reverted back to what it was prior to the v1.4.0 release.
