Will render farms adopt Beta1 now?

[Rhodesy]

Any idea if render farms will start supporting beta1 now that stage has moved on to the RCs? Currently most are stuck way back in Alpha 6 saying they only support official builds. Can we say beta 1 in an official build now? Im sure its probably more stable than it used to be on A6.

Most likely this will only happen with the final of Beta 1, as RCs are still "in development". Once Beta 1 final is out, the Download page on our site will update to point to Beta 1, and that's when the render farms will call it the current official release.

I signed up at www.ranchcomputing.com last week. They say they now support Corona Beta 1 RC 1.
(I haven't tried it yet though)

That's good to hear :) It is entirely up to the render farm which version they support, so what happens with the RC1 (or daily builds, etc.) is their choice, so it is good to hear that RC1 is supported there!

Ah good to know, thanks davetwo.
