No mention of Brigade

Isn’t Brigade already part of Octane for a long time, meaning it’s integrated into the Path Trace mode?
Not all of it AFAIK, that’s why it’s strange they didn’t mention anything about Brigade integration.

We are excited to bring you the latest beta version of the OctaneBlender addon!
This version works on the “vanilla” Blender you can download and install from the Blender Foundation website ( https://www.blender.org/ ).
This means there’s no need for a custom build anymore!
Running the Octane server is still needed.
We will continue developing/updating both the addon and non-addon versions, until the addon version can be declared stable.
This includes the Prime version. 
Now you can use Octane on the most current official Blender version!
Scenes created with the current non-addon version may need to be converted to the addon version.
To do that, with the scene, you need to convert loaded in the non addon version, please use File/Export/OctaneBlender Addon.
This will generate a new scene with the “addon” string added to the file name.
As with all beta builds, we advise to not use this release for production purposes.
We are trying to, but we can’t guarantee that scenes saved with this version will be compatible in future releases, so, again, do not use this beta for production work.

I’m having issues with this addon release, for Linux anyway. The files do not appear to be correct?
Hmm… I wanted to unwrap this early Christmas present, too.
But what’s strange is that the server is no longer a simple zip but an installer (.run) in Linux like e.g. when using the non-addon version of Octane.
Is the server now the same for both versions? Or did they just link the wrong file?
EDIT: Just saw that you already reported the problem in the Octane forums. Thanks.

They updated the install and it’s working for me now.

Is the denoised lights AOV available as a feature within Blender Octane?
