** Notice: all internal pipelines have been restricted to 30 minute timeouts, if your CI/CD runs take longer, either use your own runners or read below **
We would remind everyone that the CI/CD services provided by the university Gitlab servers are intended for CI/CD use only (ie. delivering new versions of your software to your production servers, etc).They are not intended for data analysis or -production use, or creating, building and running servers to do heavy data calculation or visualization.
As a general guideline; if your jobs take more than 15 minutes, you might be running something that is better suited for a dedicated system or a virtual server - in this case, please contact the helpdesk for a solution to your needs.
Do not drop any framesets, even if incomplete, until the final stage in the GUI which can then optionally do so. This helps with video decode efficiency and keeps everything moving smoothly in the presence of frame drops on video nodes. Rendering incomplete frames obviously results in flashing.
There are some other fixes in this merge that may relate to random GUI crashes.
