Changes in 2017-08-29 (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B7xyYS3daSJ7V3BJZWlMR2EzUG8):

• Fixed bug when clearing the noise (convergence) was much slower in Team Render
• Fixed bug when some parts of Team Rendered image were different noise level
• Fixed various Team Render connection bugs (reconnecting of clients during rendering is handled correctly now)
• Fixed nonworking single frame rendering when Team Render Server was used
• Fixed enabling and disabling of render stamp in Team Render
• Fixed bug when different colour profiles were used in Team Render especially in combination with Multi-Pass
• Fixed bug when colour profile of rendered image was changed after end of Team Rendering in some cases
• Fixed bug when post processing was not applied after end of Team Rendering
• Fixed bug when multiple passes was not rendered sometimes even if the Multi-Pass was enabled
• Implemented saving of rendered image in Team Render

Notes:
Team rendering still works only in Picture Viewer. To make it work in VFB we still need to make some changes in Core. These changes will also fix the statistics (only passes are counted now), nonworking adaptivity and noise and time stop limit.
