@RELEASE: 5.3-0

@SUMMARY:

This release is designed to work with Qube! version 5.3-x.  It also
includes some bugfixes and feature enhancements.  

In particular, it now enables the user to submit render (mental ray
standalone) jobs to render the .mi files generated.

@CHANGE: Built for Qube! version 5.3-x

@FEATURE: Officially added support for 64-bit platforms.

@BUGFIX: Fixed backslash issue in the path for "source" command.
	backslashes are now translated to forward slashes before calling
	"source". 

@FEATURE: Adding qubeMentalrayBatchExportSingleFile.mel script to
	support multi-layer miGen/renders in Maya versions prior to 2008.
	
	This should, in principle, make the multi-layer renders work in
	Maya 8.5 or below.
	
	Also updated README accordingly.


@BUGFIX: Modified code so that multi-layer scenes render fine, for at
	least Maya 2008 (and above, presumably).  Updated README to
	reflect this change.  

@FEATURE: Implementation of single-action miGen/render for in-app
	submission.

@CHANGE: Modified quite a bit of the front-end "look", as well as the
	internals.
	
	* added a section on "Job Mode" ("export only" or "export and render")
	* added separate Qube option tabs for the miGen and render jobs
	* cleaning up interal code, modularizing stuff into separate files.

@BUGFIX: Removed "demandLoad" "export file paths" option, for maya
	2008 compatibility.  

@BUGFIX: Modified to call mentalrayBatchRenderProcedure() routine
	instead of calling the Mayatomr command directly.  The latter was
	apparently causing absolute paths in the generated .mi files.
	BUGZID: 42803

@FEATURE: Added code to delete the submission windows on "open/new
	scene".  

@CHANGE: Modified miGen make-package.pl script to build "noarch" rpm
	for linux.
