Introduction

    Helix Render is a Python-based REST service that polls Helix Search for 3D 
    assets, generating previews and renders using Blender.

    Helix Render needs a connection to Helix Search and a HelixCore server.

    YYYY is the year; R is the release of that year; CCCCCC is the
    bug fix change level.  Each bug fix in these release notes is
    marked by its change number.  Any build includes (1) all bug fixes
    of all previous releases and (2) all bug fixes of the current
    release up to the bug fix change level.
