Shotgun Basic Configuration v1.3.9

What's new?
Bug fix and improvements around description inheritance in Publish2 App, as well as a number of improved features and bug fixes, including:

• Updated Python API to 3.2.4, and
• Fixed an issue so that changing the check state of the items and tasks in the Publish UI now updates the underlying PublishItem and PublishTask instance check state as well.

Features/Polish

• Updated the Python API to 3.2.4, which updated the version of httplib2 to 0.18.0 [SG-17638]
• The Nuke engine startup script is now Python 3 compatible, which means a Python 2 build of Nuke can be launched via the tk-multi-launchapp from a Python 3 interpreter. The Nuke engine its self is still not Python 3 compatible however. [SG-17693]
• Supported referencing of 3d formats inside of Alias.

Fixed bugs

• Bug fix and improvements around description inheritance. Descriptions set in the Publish UI are now inherited by child items no matter what level you set them at. Previously descriptions were only inherited when set in the summary, which was only available when there were more than one root item collected. On top of that, an item only inherits its description if it doesn't have a description set for itself. This means if you specifically set the description on a child item, and then change the parent item's description, the child item's description won't be overridden. There have also been some UI adjustments around this change to make it visually clearer about when an item is inheriting its description. [SG-9940]
• Fixed an issue so that changing the check state of the items and tasks in the Publish UI now updates the underlying PublishItem and PublishTask instance check state as well. [SG-12136]
• Fixed an issue in tk-core where users using SSO might sometimes be prompted for their credentials multiple times. [SG-17810]
