    or startup delay due to node boot time. A job's end time will always be
    its start time plus time limit.

 -- Added build-time option (to configure program) of --with-pam_dir to
    specify the directory into which PAM modules get installed, although it
    should pick the proper directory by default. "make install" and "rpmbuild"
    should now put the pam_slurm.so file in the proper directory.
 -- Modify PAM module to link against SLURM API shared library and use exported
    slurm_hostlist functions.
 -- Do not block new jobs with --immediate option while another job is in the
    process of being requeued (which can take a long time for some node failure
    modes).
 -- For topology/tree, log invalid hostnames in a single hostlist expression
    rather than one per line.

 -- A job step's default time limit will be UNLIMITED rather than partition's
    default time limit. The step will automatically be cancelled as part of the
    job termination logic when the job's time limit is reached.
 -- sacct - fixed bug when checking jobs against a reservation
 -- In select/cons_res, fix support for job allocation with --ntasks_per_node

    option. Previously could allocate too few CPUs on some nodes.
 -- Adjustment made to init message to the slurmdbd to allow backwards
    compatibility with future 2.2 release. YOU NEED TO UPGRADE SLURMDBD
    BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE.
 -- Fix accounting when comment of down/drained node has double quotes in it.
 -- Added nodelist to sview for jobs on non-bluegene systems
 -- Correction in value of batch job environment variable SLURM_TASKS_PER_NODE
    under some conditions.
 -- When a node silently fails which is already drained/down the reason
    for draining for the node is not changed.

 -- Srun will ignore SLURM_NNODES environment variable and use the count of
    currently allocated nodes if that count changes during the job's lifetime
    (e.g. job allocation uses the --no-kill option and a node goes DOWN, job
    step would previously always fail).
 -- Made it so sacctmgr can't add blank user or account.  The MySQL plugin
    will also reject such requests.
 -- Revert libpmi.so version for compatibility with SLURM version 2.0 and
    earlier to avoid forcing applications using a specific libpmi.so version to
    rebuild unnecessarily (revert from libpmi.so.21.0.0 to libpmi.so.0.0.0).

 -- Restore support for a pending job's constraints (required node features)
    when slurmctld is restarted (internal structure needed to be rebuilt).
 -- Removed checkpoint_blcr.so from the plugin rpm in the slurm.spec since
    it is also in the blcr rpm.
 -- Fixed issue in sview where you were unable to edit the count
    of jobs to share resources.
 -- BLUEGENE - Fixed issue where tasks on steps weren't being displayed
    correctly with scontrol and sview.

 -- BLUEGENE - fixed wiki2 plugin to report correct task count for pending
 -- BLUEGENE - Added /etc/ld.so.conf.d/slurm.conf to point to the
    directory holding libsched_if64.so when building rpms.
 -- Adjust get_wckeys call in slurmdbd to allow operators to list wckeys.

* Changes in SLURM 2.1.1
 -- Fix for case sensitive databases when a slurmctld has a mixed case
    clustername to lower case the string to easy compares.
 -- Fix squeue if job is completing and failed to print remaining
    nodes instead of failed message.
 -- Fix sview core when searching for partitions by state.
 -- Fixed setting the start time when querying in sacct to the
    beginning of the day if not set previously.
 -- Defined slurm_free_reservation_info_msg and slurm_free_topo_info_msg
    in common/slurm_protocol_defs.h

 -- Avoid generating error when a job step includes a memory specification and
    memory is not configured as a consumable resource.
 -- Patch for small memory leak in src/common/plugstack.c
 -- Fix sview search on node state.
 -- Fix bug in which improperly formed job dependency specification can cause
    slurmctld to abort.
 -- Fixed issue where slurmctld wouldn't always get a message to send cluster
    information when registering for the first time with the slurmdbd.
 -- Add slurm_*_trigger.3 man pages for event trigger APIs.
 -- Fix bug in job preemption logic that would free allocated memory twice.
 -- Fix spelling issues (from Gennaro Oliva)

 -- Restore support for srun/salloc/sbatch option --hint=nomultithread to
    bind tasks to cores rather than threads (broken in slurm v2.1.0-pre5).
 -- Fix issue where a 2.0 sacct could not talk correctly to a 2.1 slurmdbd.
 -- BLUEGENE - Fix issue where no partitions have any nodes assigned them to
    alert user no blocks can be created.

 -- Set SLURM_SUBMIT_DIR environment variable for srun and salloc commands to
    match behavior of sbatch command.
 -- Report WorkDir from "scontrol show job" command for jobs launched using
    salloc and srun.
 -- Update correctly the wckey when changing it on a pending job.
 -- Set wckeyid correctly in accounting when cancelling a pending job.
 -- BLUEGENE - critical fix where jobs would be killed incorrectly.
 -- BLUEGENE - fix for sview putting multiple ionodes on to nodelists when
    viewing the jobs tab.

* Changes in SLURM 2.1.0
 -- Improve sview layout of blocks in use.
 -- A user can now change the dimensions of the grid in sview.
 -- BLUEGENE - improved startup speed further for large numbers of defined
    blocks
 -- Fix to _get_job_min_nodes() in wiki2/get_jobs.c suggested by Michal Novotny

 -- BLUEGENE - fixed issues when updating a pending job when a node
    count was incorrect for the asked for connection type.
 -- BLUEGENE - fixed issue when combining blocks that are in ready states to
    make a larger block from those or make multiple smaller blocks by
    splitting the larger block.  Previously this would only work with block
    in a free state.
 -- Fix bug in wiki(2) plugins where if HostFormat=2 and the task list is
    greater than 64 we don't truncate.  Previously this would mess up Moab
    by sending a truncated task list when doing a get jobs.
 -- Added update slurmctld debug level to sview when in admin mode.
 -- Added logic to make sure if enforcing a memory limit when using the
    jobacct_gather plugin a user can no longer turn off the logic to enforce
    the limit.
 -- Replaced many calls to getpwuid() with reentrant uid_to_string()
 -- The slurmstepd will now refresh it's log file handle on a reconfig,
    previously if a log was rolled any output from the stepd was lost.
