    dependencies) and --power (specify power management options) to salloc,
    sbatch, and srun commands.
 -- Add DebugFlags option of SICP (inter-cluster option logging).
 -- In order to support inter-cluster job dependencies, the MaxJobID
    configuration parameter default value has been reduced from 4,294,901,760
    to 2,147,418,112 and it's maximum value is now 2,147,463,647.
    ANY JOBS WITH A JOB ID ABOVE 2,147,463,647 WILL BE PURGED WHEN SLURM IS
    UPGRADED FROM AN OLDER VERSION!
 -- Add QOS name to the output of a partition in squeue/scontrol/sview/smap.

* Changes in Slurm 15.08.0pre1
==============================
 -- Add sbcast support for file transfer to resources allocated to a job step
    rather than a job allocation.
 -- Change structures with association in them to assoc to save space.
 -- Add support for job dependencies jointed with OR operator (e.g.
    "--depend=afterok:123?afternotok:124").
 -- Add "--bb" (burst buffer specification) option to salloc, sbatch, and srun.
 -- Added configuration parameters BurstBufferParameters and BurstBufferType.
 -- Added burst_buffer plugin infrastructure (needs many more functions).
 -- Make it so when the fanout logic comes across a node that is down we abandon
    the tree to avoid worst case scenarios when the entire branch is down and
    we have to try each serially.
 -- Add better error reporting of invalid partitions at submission time.
 -- Move will-run test for multiple clusters from the sbatch code into the API
    so that it can be used with DRMAA.
 -- If a non-exclusive allocation requests --hint=nomultithread on a
    CR_CORE/SOCKET system lay out tasks correctly.
 -- Avoid including unused CPUs in a job's allocation when cores or sockets are
    allocated.
 -- Added new job state of STOPPED indicating processes have been stopped with a
    SIGSTOP (using scancel or sview), but retain its allocated CPUs. Job state
    returns to RUNNING when SIGCONT is sent (also using scancel or sview).
 -- Added EioTimeout parameter to slurm.conf. It is the number of seconds srun
    waits for slurmstepd to close the TCP/IP connection used to relay data
    between the user application and srun when the user application terminates.
 -- Remove slurmctld/dynalloc plugin as the work was never completed, so it is
    not worth the effort of continued support at this time.
 -- Remove DynAllocPort configuration parameter.
 -- Add advance reservation flag of "replace" that causes allocated resources
    to be replaced with idle resources. This maintains a pool of available
    resources that maintains a constant size (to the extent possible).
 -- Added SchedulerParameters option of "bf_busy_nodes". When selecting
    resources for pending jobs to reserve for future execution (i.e. the job
    can not be started immediately), then preferentially select nodes that are
    in use. This will tend to leave currently idle resources available for
    backfilling longer running jobs, but may result in allocations having less
    than optimal network topology. This option is currently only supported by
    the select/cons_res plugin.
 -- Permit "SuspendTime=NONE" as slurm.conf value rather than only a numeric
    value to match "scontrol show config" output.
 -- Add the 'scontrol show cache' command which displays the associations
    in slurmctld.
 -- Test more frequently for node boot completion before starting a job.
    Provides better responsiveness.
 -- Fix PMI2 singleton initialization.
 -- Permit PreemptType=qos and PreemptMode=suspend,gang to be used together.
    A high-priority QOS job will now oversubscribe resources and gang schedule,
    but only if there are insufficient resources for the job to be started
    without preemption. NOTE: That with PreemptType=qos, the partition's
    Shared=FORCE:# configuration option will permit one job more per resource
    to be run than than specified, but only if started by preemption.
 -- Remove the CR_ALLOCATE_FULL_SOCKET configuration option.  It is now the
    default.
 -- Fix a race condition in PMI2 when fencing counters can be out of sync.
 -- Increase the MAX_PACK_MEM_LEN define to avoid PMI2 failure when fencing
    with large amount of ranks.
 -- Add QOS option to a partition.  This will allow a partition to have
    all the limits a QOS has.  If a limit is set in both QOS the partition
    QOS will override the job's QOS unless the job's QOS has the
    OverPartQOS flag set.
 -- The task_dist_states variable has been split into "flags" and "base"
    components. Added SLURM_DIST_PACK_NODES and SLURM_DIST_NO_PACK_NODES values
    to give user greater control over task distribution. The srun --dist options
    has been modified to accept a "Pack" and "NoPack" option. These options can
    be used to override the CR_PACK_NODE configuration option.

* Changes in Slurm 14.11.12
===========================
 -- Correct dependency formatting to print array task ids if set.
 -- Fix for configuration of "AuthType=munge" and "AuthInfo=socket=..." with
    alternate munge socket path.
 -- BGQ - Remove redeclaration of job_read_lock.
 -- BGQ - Tighter locks around structures when nodes/cables change state.
 -- Fix job array formatting to allow return [0-100:2] display for arrays with
    step functions rather than [0,2,4,6,8,...] .
 -- Associations - prevent hash table corruption if uid initially unset for
    a user, which can cause slurmctld to crash if that user is deleted.
 -- Add cast to memory limit calculation to prevent integer overflow for
    very large memory values.
 -- Fix test cases to have proper int return signature.

* Changes in Slurm 14.11.11
===========================

 -- Fix the qstat wrapper when user is removed from the system but still
    has running jobs.
 -- Log the request to terminate a job at info level if DebugFlags includes
    the Steps keyword.
 -- Fix potential memory corruption in _slurm_rpc_epilog_complete as well as
    _slurm_rpc_complete_job_allocation.
 -- Fix incorrectly sized buffer used by jobid2str which will cause buffer
    overflow in slurmctld. (Bug 2295.)

* Changes in Slurm 14.11.10
===========================
 -- Fix truncation of job reason in squeue.
 -- If a node is in DOWN or DRAIN state, leave it unavailable for allocation
    when powered down.
 -- Update the slurm.conf man page documenting better nohold_on_prolog_fail
    variable.
 -- Don't trucate task ID information in "squeue --array/-r" or "sview".
 -- Fix a bug which caused scontrol to core dump when releasing or
    holding a job by name.
 -- Fix unit conversion bug in slurmd which caused wrong memory calculation
    for cgroups.
 -- Fix issue with GRES in steps so that if you have multiple exclusive steps
    and you use all the GRES up instead of reporting the configuration isn't
    available you hold the requesting step until the GRES is available.
 -- Fix slurmdbd backup to use DbdAddr when contacting the primary.
 -- Fix error in MPI documentation.
 -- Fix to handle arrays with respect to number of jobs submitted.  Previously
    only 1 job was accounted (against MaxSubmitJob) for when an array was
    submitted.
 -- Correct counting for job array limits, job count limit underflow possible
    when master cancellation of master job record.
 -- For pending jobs have sacct print 0 for nnodes instead of the bogus 2.
 -- Fix for tracking node state when jobs that have been allocated exclusive
    access to nodes (i.e. entire nodes) and later relinquish some nodes. Nodes
    would previously appear partly allocated and prevent use by other jobs.
 -- Fix updating job in db after extending job's timelimit past partition's
    timelimit.
 -- Fix srun -I<timeout> from flooding the controller with step create requests.
 -- Requeue/hold batch job launch request if job already running (possible if
    node went to DOWN state, but jobs remained active).
 -- If a job's CPUs/task ratio is increased due to configured MaxMemPerCPU,
    then increase it's allocated CPU count in order to enforce CPU limits.
 -- Don't mark powered down node as not responding. This could be triggered by
    race condition of the node suspend and ping logic.
 -- Don't requeue RPC going out from slurmctld to DOWN nodes (can generate
    repeating communication errors).
 -- Propagate sbatch "--dist=plane=#" option to srun.
 -- Fix sacct to not return all jobs if the -j option is given with a trailing
    ','.
 -- Permit job_submit plugin to set a job's priority.
 -- Fix occasional srun segfault.
 -- Fix issue with sacct, printing 0_0 for array's that had finished in the
    database but the start record hadn't made it yet.
 -- Fix sacct -j, (nothing but a comma) to not return all jobs.
 -- Prevent slurmstepd from core dumping if /proc/<pid>/stat has
    unexpected format.

* Changes in Slurm 14.11.9
==========================
 -- Correct "sdiag" backfill cycle time calculation if it yields locks. A
    microsecond value was being treated as a second value resulting in an
    overflow in the calcuation.
 -- Fix segfault when updating timelimit on jobarray task.
 -- Fix to job array update logic that can result in a task ID of 4294967294.
 -- Fix of job array update, previous logic could fail to update some tasks
    of a job array for some fields.
 -- CRAY - Fix seg fault if a blade is replaced and slurmctld is restarted.
 -- Fix plane distribution to allocate in blocks rather than cyclically.
 -- squeue - Remove newline from job array ID value printed.
 -- squeue - Enable filtering for job state SPECIAL_EXIT.
 -- Prevent job array task ID being inappropriately set to NO_VAL.
 -- MYSQL - Make it so you don't have to restart the slurmctld
    to gain the correct limit when a parent account is root and you
    remove a subaccount's limit which exists on the parent account.
 -- MYSQL - Close chance of setting the wrong limit on an association
    when removing a limit from an association on multiple clusters
    at the same time.
 -- MYSQL - Fix minor memory leak when modifying an association but no
    change was made.
 -- srun command line of either --mem or --mem-per-cpu will override both the
    SLURM_MEM_PER_CPU and SLURM_MEM_PER_NODE environment variables.
 -- Prevent slurmctld abort on update of advanced reservation that contains no
    nodes.
 -- ALPS - Revert commit 2c95e2d22 which also removes commit 2e2de6a4 allowing
    cray with the SubAllocate option to work as it did with 2.5.
 -- Properly parse CPU frequency data on POWER systems.
 -- Correct sacct.a man pages describing -i option.
 -- Capture salloc/srun information in sdiag statistics.
 -- Fix bug in node selection with topology optimization.
 -- Don't set distribution when srun requests 0 memory.
 -- Read in correct number of nodes from SLURM_HOSTFILE when specifying nodes
    and --distribution=arbitrary.
 -- Fix segfault in Bluegene setups where RebootQOSList is defined in
    bluegene.conf and accounting is not setup.
 -- MYSQL - Update mod_time when updating a start job record or adding one.
 -- MYSQL - Fix issue where if an association id ever changes on at least a
    portion of a job array is pending after it's initial start in the
    database it could create another row for the remain array instead
    of using the already existing row.
 -- Fix scheduling anomaly with job arrays submitted to multiple partitions,
    jobs could be started out of priority order.
 -- If a host has suspened jobs do not reboot it. Reboot only hosts
    with no jobs in any state.

    thing (-F exclusive) instead of -F share.
 -- Fix various memory leaks in the Perl API.
 -- Fix a bug in the controller which display jobs in CF state as RUNNING.

==========================
 -- Eliminate need for user to set user_id on job_update calls.
 -- Correct list of unavailable nodes reported in a job's "reason" field when
    that job can not start.
 -- Map job --mem-per-cpu=0 to --mem=0.

 -- Fix sreport core dump when requesting
    'job SizesByAccount grouping=individual'.
 -- select/linear: Correct count of CPUs allocated to job on system with
    hyperthreads.
 -- Fix race condition where last array task might not get updated in the db.
 -- CRAY - Remove libpmi from rpm install
 -- Fix squeue -o %X output to correctly handle NO_VAL and suffix.
 -- When deleting a job from the system set the job_id to 0 to avoid memory
    corruption if thread uses the pointer basing validity off the id.
 -- Fix issue where sbatch would set ntasks-per-node to 0 making any srun
    afterward cause a divide by zero error.
 -- switch/cray: Refine logic to set PMI_CRAY_NO_SMP_ENV environment variable.
 -- When sacctmgr loads archives with version less than 14.11 set the array
    task id to NO_VAL, so sacct can display the job ids correctly.
 -- When using memory cgroup if a task uses more memory than requested
    the failures are logged into memory.failcnt count file by cgroup
    and the user is notified by slurmstepd about it.
 -- Fix scheduling inconsistency with GRES bound to specific CPUs.
 -- If user belongs to a group which has split entries in /etc/group
    search for its username in all groups.
 -- Do not consider nodes explicitly powered up as DOWN with reason of "Node
    unexpected rebooted".
 -- Use correct slurmd spooldir when creating cpu-frequency locks.
 -- Note that TICKET_BASED fairshare will be deprecated in the future. Consider
    using the FAIR_TREE algorithm instead.
 -- Set job's reason to BadConstaints when job can't run on any node.
 -- Prevent abort on update of reservation with no nodes (licenses only).
 -- Prevent slurmctld from dumping core if job_resrcs is missing in the
    job data structure.
 -- Fix squeue to print array task ids according to man page when
    SLURM_BITSTR_LEN is defined in the environment.
 -- In squeue, sort jobs based on array job ID if available.
 -- Fix the calculation of job energy by not including the NO_VAL values.
 -- Advanced reservation fixes: enable update of bluegene reservation, avoid
    abort on multi-core reservations.
 -- Set the totalview_stepid to the value of the job step instead of NO_VAL.
 -- Fix slurmdbd core dump if the daemon does not have connection with
    the database.
 -- Display error message when attempting to modify priority of a held job.
 -- Backfill scheduler: The configured backfill_interval value (default 30
    seconds) is now interpretted as a maximum run time for the backfill
    scheduler. Once reached, the scheduler will build a new job queue and
    start over, even if not all jobs have been tested.
 -- Backfill scheduler now considers OverTimeLimit and KillWait configuration
    parameters to estimate when running jobs will exit.
 -- Correct task layout with CR_Pack_Node option and more than 1 CPU per task.
 -- Fix the scontrol man page describing the release argument.

* Changes in Slurm 14.11.7
==========================
 -- Initialize some variables used with the srun --no-alloc option that may
    cause random failures.
 -- Add SchedulerParameters option of sched_min_interval that controls the
    minimum time interval between any job scheduling action. The default value
    is zero (disabled).
 -- Change default SchedulerParameters=max_sched_time from 4 seconds to 2.
 -- Refactor scancel so that all pending jobs are cancelled before starting
    cancellation of running jobs. Otherwise they happen in parallel and the
    pending jobs can be scheduled on resources as the running jobs are being
    cancelled.
 -- ALPS - Add new cray.conf variable NoAPIDSignalOnKill.  When set to yes this
    will make it so the slurmctld will not signal the apid's in a batch job.
    Instead it relies on the rpc coming from the slurmctld to kill the job to
    end things correctly.
 -- ALPS - Have the slurmstepd running a batch job wait for an ALPS release
    before ending the job.
 -- Initialize variables in consumable resource plugin to prevent core dump.
 -- Fix scancel bug which could return an error on attempt to signal a job step.
 -- In slurmctld communication agent, make the thread timeout be the configured
    value of MessageTimeout rather than 30 seconds.
 -- sshare -U/--Users only flag was used uninitialized.
 -- Cray systems, add "plugstack.conf.template" sample SPANK configuration file.
 -- BLUEGENE - Set DB2NOEXITLIST when starting the slurmctld daemon to avoid
    random crashing in db2 when the slurmctld is exiting.
 -- Make full node reservations display correctly the core count instead of
    cpu count.
 -- Preserve original errno on execve() failure in task plugin.
 -- Add SLURM_JOB_NAME env variable to an salloc's environment.
 -- Overwrite SLURM_JOB_NAME in an srun when it gets an allocation.
 -- Make sure each job has a wckey if that is something that is tracked.
 -- Make sure old step data is cleared when job is requeued.
 -- Load libtinfo as needed when building ncurses tools.
 -- Fix small memory leak in backup controller.
 -- Fix segfault when backup controller takes control for second time.
 -- Cray - Fix backup controller running native Slurm.
 -- Provide prototypes for init_setproctitle()/fini_setproctitle on NetBSD.
 -- Add configuration test to find out the full path to su command.
 -- preempt/job_prio plugin: Fix for possible infinite loop when identifying
    preemptable jobs.
 -- preempt/job_prio plugin: Implement the concept of Warm-up Time here. Use
    the QoS GraceTime as the amount of time to wait before preempting.
    Basically, skip preemption if your time is not up.
 -- Make srun wait KillWait time when a task is cancelled.
 -- switch/cray: Revert logic added to 14.11.6 that set "PMI_CRAY_NO_SMP_ENV=1"
    if CR_PACK_NODES is configured.

* Changes in Slurm 14.11.6
==========================
 -- If SchedulerParameters value of bf_min_age_reserve is configured, then
    a newly submitted job can start immediately even if there is a higher
    priority non-runnable job which has been waiting for less time than
    bf_min_age_reserve.
 -- qsub wrapper modified to export "all" with -V option
 -- RequeueExit and RequeueExitHold configuration parameters modified to accept
    numeric ranges. For example "RequeueExit=1,2,3,4" and "RequeueExit=1-4" are
    equivalent.
 -- Correct the job array specification parser to accept brackets in job array
    expression (e.g. "123_[4,7-9]").
 -- Fix for misleading job submit failure errors sent to users. Previous error
    could indicate why specific nodes could not be used (e.g. too small memory)
    when other nodes could be used, but were not for another reason.
 -- Fix squeue --array to display correctly the array elements when the
    % separator is specified at the array submission time.
 -- Fix priority from not being calculated correctly due to memory issues.
 -- Fix a transient pending reason 'JobId=job_id has invalid QOS'.
 -- A non-administrator change to job priority will not be persistent except
    for holding the job. User's wanting to change a job priority on a persistent
    basis should reset it's "nice" value.
 -- Print buffer sizes as unsigned values when failed to pack messages.
 -- Fix race condition where sprio would print factors without weights applied.
 -- Document the sacct option JobIDRaw which for arrays prints the jobid instead
    of the arrayTaskId.
 -- Allow users to modify MinCPUsNode, MinMemoryNode and MinTmpDiskNode of
    their own jobs.
 -- Increase the jobid print field in SQUEUE_FORMAT in
    opt_modulefiles_slurm.in.
 -- Enable compiling without optimizations and with debugging symbols by
    default. Disable this by configuring with --disable-debug.
 -- job_submit/lua plugin: Add mail_type and mail_user fields.
 -- Correct output message from sshare.
 -- Use standard statvfs(2) syscall if available, in preference to
    non-standard statfs.
 -- Add a new option -U/--Users to sshare to display only users
    information, parent and ancestors are not printed.
 -- Purge 50000 records at a time so that locks can released periodically.
 -- Fix potentially uninitialized variables
 -- ALPS - Fix issue where a frontend node could become unresponsive and never
    added back into the system.
 -- Gate epilog complete messages as done with other messages
 -- If we have more than a certain number of agents (50) wait longer when gating
    rpcs.
 -- FrontEnd - ping non-responding or down nodes.
 -- switch/cray: If CR_PACK_NODES is configured, then set the environment
    variable "PMI_CRAY_NO_SMP_ENV=1"
 -- Fix invalid memory reference in SlurmDBD when putting a node up.
 -- Allow opening of plugstack.conf even when a symlink.
 -- Fix scontrol reboot so that rebooted nodes will not be set down with reason
    'Node xyz unexpectedly rebooted' but will be correctly put back to service.
 -- CRAY - Throttle the post NHC operations as to not hog the job write lock
    if many steps/jobs finish at once.
 -- Disable changes to GRES count while jobs are running on the node.
 -- CRAY - Fix issue with scontrol reconfig.
 -- slurmd: Remove wrong reporting of "Error reading step  ... memory limit".
    The logic was treating success as an error.
 -- Eliminate "Node ping apparently hung" error messages.
 -- Fix average CPU frequency calculation.
 -- When allocating resources with resolution of sockets, charge the job for all
    CPUs on allocated sockets rather than just the CPUs on used cores.
 -- Prevent slurmdbd error if cluster added or removed while rollup in progress.
    Removing a cluster can cause slurmdbd to abort. Adding a cluster can cause
    the slurmdbd rollup to hang.
 -- sview - When right clicking on a tab make sure we don't display the page
    list, but only the column list.
 -- FRONTEND - If doing a clean start make sure the nodes are brought up in the
    database.
 -- MySQL - Fix issue when using the TrackSlurmctldDown and nodes are down at
    the same time, don't double bill the down time.
 -- MySQL - Various memory leak fixes.
 -- sreport - Fix Energy displays
 -- Fix node manager logic to keep unexpectedly rebooted node in state
    NODE_STATE_DOWN even if already down when rebooted.
 -- Fix for array jobs submitted to multiple partitions not starting.
 -- CRAY - Enable ALPs mpp compatibility code in sbatch for native Slurm.
 -- ALPS - Move basil_inventory to less confusing function.
 -- Add SchedulerParameters option of "sched_max_job_start="  to limit the
    number of jobs that can be started in any single execution of the main
    scheduling logic.
 -- Fixed compiler warnings generated by gcc version >= 4.6.
 -- sbatch to stop parsing script for "#SBATCH" directives after first command,
    which matches the documentation.
 -- Overwrite the SLURM_JOB_NAME in sbatch if already exist in the environment
    and use the one specified on the command line --job-name.
 -- Remove xmalloc_nz from unpack functions.  If the unpack ever failed the
    free afterwards would not have zeroed out memory on the variables that
    didn't get unpacked.
 -- Improve database interaction from controller.
 -- Fix for data shift when loading job archives.
 -- ALPS - Added new SchedulerParameters=inventory_interval to specify how
    often an inventory request is handled.
 -- ALPS - Don't run a release on a reservation on the slurmctld for a batch
    job.  This is already handled on the stepd when the script finishes.

* Changes in Slurm 14.11.5
==========================
 -- Correct the squeue command taking into account that a node can
    have NULL name if it is not in DNS but still in slurm.conf.
 -- Fix slurmdbd regression which would cause a segfault when a node is set
    down with no reason.
 -- BGQ - Fix issue with job arrays not being handled correctly
    in the runjob_mux plugin.
 -- Print FAIR_TREE, if configured, in "scontrol show config" output for
    PriorityFlags.

 -- Fix wrong variables used in the wrapper functions needed for systems that
    don't support strong_alias
 -- Fix code for apple computers SOL_TCP is not defined
 -- Cray/BASIL - Check for mysql credentials in /root/.my.cnf.
 -- Fix sprio showing wrong priority for job arrays until priority is
    recalculated.
 -- Account to batch step all CPUs that are allocated to a job not
    just one since the batch step has access to all CPUs like other steps.
 -- Fix job getting EligibleTime set before meeting dependency requirements.
 -- Correct the initialization of QOS MinCPUs per job limit.
 -- Set the debug level of information messages in cgroup plugin to debug2.
 -- For job running under a debugger, if the exec of the task fails, then
    cancel its I/O and abort immediately rather than waiting 60 seconds for
    I/O timeout.
 -- Fix associations not getting default qos set until after a restart.
 -- Set the value of total_cpus not to be zero before invoking
    acct_policy_job_runnable_post_select.
 -- MySQL - When requesting cluster resources, only return resources for the
    cluster(s) requested.
 -- Add TaskPluginParam=autobind=threads option to set a default binding in the
    case that "auto binding" doesn't find a match.
 -- Introduce a new SchedulerParameters variable nohold_on_prolog_fail.
    If configured don't requeue jobs on hold is a Prolog fails.
 -- Make it so sched_params isn't read over and over when an epilog complete
    message comes in
 -- Fix squeue -L <licenses> not filtering out jobs with licenses.
 -- Changed the implementation of xcpuinfo_abs_to_mac() be identical
    _abs_to_mac() to fix CPUs allocation using cpuset cgroup.
 -- Improve the explanation of the unbuffered feature in the
    srun man page.
 -- Make taskplugin=cgroup work for core spec.  needed to have task/cgroup
    before.

 -- BGQ - Sanity check given for translating small blocks into slurm bg_records.
 -- Fix bug preventing the requeue/hold or requeue/special_exit of job from the
    completing state.
 -- Cray - Fix for launching batch step within an existing job allocation.
 -- Cray - Add ALPS_APP_ID_ENV environment variable.
 -- Increase maximum MaxArraySize configuration parameter value from 1,000,001
    to 4,000,001.
 -- Added new SchedulerParameters value of bf_min_age_reserve. The backfill
    scheduler will not reserve resources for pending jobs until they have
    been pending for at least the specified number of seconds. This can be
    valuable if jobs lack time limits or all time limits have the same value.
 -- Fix support for --mem=0 (all memory of a node) with select/cons_res plugin.
 -- Fix bug that can permit someone to kill job array belonging to another user.
 -- Don't set the default partition on a license only reservation.

 -- Logs for jobs which are explicitly requeued will say so rather than saying
    that a node in their allocation failed.
 -- Updated the documentation about the remote licenses served by
    the Slurm database.
 -- Insure that slurm_spank_exit() is only called once from srun.
 -- Change the signature of net_set_low_water() to use 4 bytes instead of 8.
 -- Export working_cluster_rec in libslurmdb.so as well as move some function

    batch_4294967294
 -- Changed LEVEL_BASED priority to be "Fair_Tree"
 -- Port to NetBSD.
 -- BGQ - Add cnode based reservations.
 -- Alongside totalview_jobid implement totalview_stepid available
    to sattach.
 -- Add ability to include other files in slurm.conf based upon the ClusterName.
 -- Update strlcpy to latest upstream version.
 -- Add reservation information in the sacct and sreport output.

    the end of the available nodes rather than using a best fit algorithm.
 -- Allow regular users to view default sinfo output when
    privatedata=reservations is set.
 -- PrivateData=reservation modified to permit users to view the reservations
    which they have access to (rather then preventing them from seeing ANY
    reservation).
 -- job_submit/lua: Fix job_desc set field logic

* Changes in Slurm 14.11.0pre5
==============================
 -- Fix sbatch --export=ALL, it was treated by srun as a request to explicitly
    export only the environment variable named "ALL".
 -- Improve scheduling of jobs in reservations that overlap other reservations.
 -- Modify sgather to make global file systems easier to configure.
 -- Added sacctmgr reconfig to reread the slurmdbd.conf in the slurmdbd.
 -- Modify scontrol job operations to accept comma delimited list of job IDs.
    Applies to job update, hold, release, suspend, resume, requeue, and
    requeuehold operations.
 -- Refactor job_submit/lua interface. LUA FUNCTIONS NEED TO CHANGE! The
    lua script no longer needs to explicitly load meta-tables, but information
    is available directly using names slurm.reservations, slurm.jobs,
    slurm.log_info, etc. Also, the job_submit.lua script is reloaded when
    updated without restarting the slurmctld daemon.
 -- Allow users to specify --resv_ports to have value 0.
 -- Cray MPMD (Multiple-Program Multiple-Data) support completed.
 -- Added ability for "scontrol update" to references jobs by JobName (and
    filtered optionally by UserID).
 -- Add support for an advanced reservation start time that remains constant
    relative to the current time. This can be used to prevent the starting of
    longer running jobs on select nodes for maintenance purpose. See the
    reservation flag "TIME_FLOAT" for more information.
 -- Enlarge the jobid field to 18 characters in squeue output.
 -- Added "scontrol write config" option to save a copy of the current
    configuration in a file containing a time stamp.
 -- Eliminate native Cray specific port management. Native Cray systems must
    now use the MpiParams configuration parameter to specify ports to be used
    for commmunications. When upgrading Native Cray systems from version 14.03,
    all running jobs should be killed and the switch_cray_state file (in
    SaveStateLocation of the nodes where the slurmctld daemon runs) must be
    explicitly deleted.

* Changes in Slurm 14.11.0pre4
==============================
 -- Added job array data structure and removed 64k array size restriction.
 -- Added SchedulerParameters options of bf_max_job_array_resv to control how
    many tasks of a job array should have resources reserved for them.
 -- Added more validity checking of incoming job submit requests.
 -- Added srun --export option to set/export specific environment variables.
 -- Scontrol modified to print separate error messages for job arrays with
    different exit codes on the different tasks of the job array. Applies to
    job suspend and resume operations.
 -- Fix race condition in CPU frequency set with job preemption.
 -- Always call select plugin on step termination, even if the job is also
    complete.
 -- Srun executable names beginning with "." will be resolved based upon the
    working directory and path on the compute node rather than the submit node.
 -- Add node state string suffix of "$" to identify nodes in maintenance
    reservation or scheduled for reboot. This applies to scontrol, sinfo,
    and sview commands.
 -- Enable scontrol to clear a nodes's scheduled reboot by setting its state
    to "RESUME".
 -- As per sbatch and srun documentation when the --signal option is used
    signal only the steps and unless, in the case, of a batch job B is
    specified in which case signal only the batch script.
 -- Modify AuthInfo configuration parameter to accept credential lifetime
    option.
 -- Modify crypto/munge plugin to use socket and timeout specified in AuthInfo.
 -- If we have a state for a step on completion put that in the database
    instead of guessing off the exit_code.
 -- Added squeue -P/--priority option that can be used to display pending jobs
    in the same order as used by the Slurm scheduler even if jobs are submitted
    to multiple partitions (job is reported once per usable partition).
 -- Improve the pending reason description for various QOS limits. For each
    QOS limit that causes a job to be pending print its specific reason.
    For example if job pends because of GrpCpus the squeue command will
    print QOSGrpCpuLimit as pending reason.
 -- sched/backfill - Set expected start time of job submitted to multiple
    partitions to the earliest start time on any of the partitions.
 -- Introduce a MAX_BATCH_REQUEUE define that indicates how many times a job
    can be requeued upon prolog failure. When the number is reached the job
    is put on hold with reason JobHoldMaxRequeue.
 -- Add sbatch job array option to limit the number of simultaneously running
    tasks from a job array (e.g. "--array=0-15%4").
 -- Implemented a new QOS limit MinCPUs. Users running under a QOS must
    request a minimum number of CPUs which is at least MinCPUs otherwise
    their job will pend.
 -- Introduced a new pending reason WAIT_QOS_MIN_CPUS to reflect the new QOS
    limit.
 -- Job array dependency based upon state is now dependent upon the state of
    the array as a whole (e.g. afterok requires ALL tasks to complete
    sucessfully, afternotok is true if ANY tasks does not complete successfully,
    and after requires all tasks to at least be started).
 -- The srun -u/--unbuffered options set the stdout of the task launched
    by srun to be line buffered.
 -- The srun options -/--label and -u/--unbuffered can be specified together.
    This limitation has been removed.
 -- Provide sacct display of gres accounting information per job.
 -- Change the node status size from uin16_t to uint32_t.

* Changes in Slurm 14.11.0pre3
==============================
 -- Move xcpuinfo.[c|h] to the slurmd since it isn't needed anywhere else
    and will avoid the need for all the daemons to link to libhwloc.
 -- Add memory test to job_submit/partition plugin.
 -- Added new internal Slurm functions xmalloc_nz() and xrealloc_nz(), which do
    not initialize the allocated memory to zero for improved performance.
 -- Modify hostlist function to dynamically allocate buffer space for improved
    performance.
 -- In the job_submit plugin: Remove all slurmctld locks prior to job_submit()
    being called for improved performance. If any slurmctld data structures are
    read or modified, add locks directly in the plugin.
 -- Added PriorityFlag LEVEL_BASED described in doc/html/level_based.shtml
 -- If Fairshare=parent is set on an account, that account's children will be
    effectively reparented for fairshare calculations to the first parent of
    their parent that is not Fairshare=parent.  Limits remain the same,
    only it's fairshare value is affected.

* Changes in Slurm 14.11.0pre2
==============================
 -- Added AllowSpecResourcesUsage configuration parameter in slurm.conf. This
    allows jobs to use specialized resources on nodes allocated to them if the
    job designates --core-spec=0.
 -- Add new SchedulerParameters option of build_queue_timeout to throttle how
    much time can be consumed building the job queue for scheduling.
 -- Added HealthCheckNodeState option of "cycle" to cycle through the compute
    nodes over the course of HealthCheckInterval rather than running all at
    the same time.
 -- Add job "reboot" option for Linux clusters. This invokes the configured
    RebootProgram to reboot nodes allocated to a job before it begins execution.
 -- Added squeue -O/--Format option that makes all job and step fields available
    for printing.
 -- Improve database slurmctld entry speed dramatically.
 -- Add "CPUs" count to output of "scontrol show step".
 -- Add support for lua5.2
 -- scancel -b signals only the batch step neither any other step nor any
    children of the shell script.
 -- MySQL - enforce NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
 -- Added CpuFreqDef configuration parameter in slurm.conf to specify the
    default CPU frequency and governor to be set at job end.
 -- Added support for job email triggers: TIME_LIMIT, TIME_LIMIT_90 (reached
    90% of time limit), TIME_LIMIT_80 (reached 80% of time limit), and
    TIME_LIMIT_50 (reached 50% of time limit). Applies to salloc, sbatch and
    srun commands.
 -- In slurm.conf add the parameter SrunPortRange=min-max. If this is configured
    then srun will use its dynamic ports only from the configured range.
 -- Make debug_flags 64 bit to handle more flags.

* Changes in Slurm 14.11.0pre1
==============================
 -- Modify etc/cgroup.release_common.example to set specify full path to the
    scontrol command. Also find cgroup mount point by reading cgroup.conf file.
 -- Improve qsub wrapper support for passing environment variables.
 -- Modify sdiag to report Slurm RPC traffic by user, type, count and time
    consumed.
 -- In select plugins, stop triggering extra logging based upon the debug flag
    CPU_Bind and use SelectType instead.
 -- Added SchedulerParameters options of bf_yield_interval and bf_yield_sleep
    to control how frequently and for how long the backfill scheduler will
    relinquish its locks.
 -- To support larger numbers of jobs when the StateSaveDirectory is on a
    file system that supports a limited number of files in a directory, add a
    subdirectory called "hash.#" based upon the last digit of the job ID.
 -- More gracefully handle missing batch script file. Just kill the job and do
    not drain the compute node.
 -- Add support for allocation of GRES by model type for heterogeneous systems
    (e.g. request a Kepler GPU, a Tesla GPU, or a GPU of any type).
 -- Record and enable display of nodes anticipated to be used for pending jobs.
 -- Modify squeue --start option to print the nodes expected to be used for
    pending job (in addition to expected start time, etc.).
 -- Add association hash to the assoc_mgr.
 -- Better logic to handle resized jobs when the DBD is down.
 -- Introduce MemLimitEnforce yes|no in slurm.conf. If set no Slurm will
    not terminate jobs if they exceed requested memory.
 -- Add support for non-consumable generic resources for resources that are
    limited, but can be shared between jobs.
 -- Introduce 5 new Slurm errors in slurm_errno.h related to job to better
    report error conditions.
 -- Modify scontrol to print error message for each array task when updating
    the entire array.
 -- Added gres_drain and gres_used fields to node_info_t.
 -- Added PriorityParameters configuration parameter in slurm.conf.
 -- Introduce automatic job requeue policy based on exit value. See RequeueExit
    and RequeueExitHold descriptions in slurm.conf man page.
 -- Modify slurmd to cache launched job IDs for more responsive job suspend and
    gang scheduling.
 -- Permit jobs steps full control over cpu_bind options if specialized cores
    are included in the job allocation.
 -- Added ChosLoc configuration parameter to specifiy the pathname of the
    Chroot OS tool.
 -- Sent SIGCONT/SIGTERM when a job is selected for preemption with GraceTime
    configured rather than waiting for GraceTime to be reached before notifying
    the job.
 -- Do not resume a job with specialized cores on a node running another job
    with specialized cores (only one can run at a time).
 -- Add specialized core count to job suspend/resume calls.
 -- task/affinity and task/cgroup - Correct specialized core task binding with
    user supplied invalid CPU mask or map.
 -- Add srun --cpu-freq options to set the CPU governor (OnDemand, Performance,
    PowerSave or UserSpace).
 -- Add support for a job step's CPU governor and/or frequency to be reset on
    suspend/resume (or gang scheduling). The default for an idle CPU will now
    be "ondemand" rather than "userspace" with the lowest frequency (to recover
    from hard slurmd failures and support gang scheduling).
 -- Added PriorityFlags option of Calulate_Running to continue recalculating
    the priority of running jobs.
 -- Replace round-robin front-end node selection with least-loaded algorithm.
 -- CRAY - Improve support of XC30 systems when running natively.
 -- Add new node configuration parameters CoreSpecCount, CPUSpecList and
    MemSpecLimit which support the reservation of resources for system use
    with Linux cgroup.
 -- Add child_forked() function to the slurm_acct_gather_profile plugin to
    close open files, leaving application with no extra open file descriptors.
 -- Cray/ALPS system - Enable backup controller to run outside of the Cray to
    accept new job submissions and most other operations on the pending jobs.
 -- Have sacct print job and task array id's for job arrays.
 -- Smooth out fanout logic
 -- If <sys/prctl.h> is present name major threads in slurmctld, for
    example backfill
    thread: slurmctld_bckfl, the rpc manager: slurmctld_rpcmg etc.
    The name can be seen for example using top -H.
 -- sview - Better job_array support.
 -- Provide more precise error message when job allocation can not be satisfied
    (e.g. memory, disk, cpu count, etc. rather than just "node configuration
    not available").
 -- Create a new DebugFlags named TraceJobs in slurm.conf to print detailed
    information about jobs in slurmctld. The information include job ids, state
    and node count.
 -- When a job dependency can never be satisfied do not cancel the job but keep
    pending with reason WAIT_DEP_INVALID (DependencyNeverSatisfied).

* Changes in Slurm 14.03.12
===========================
 -- Make it so previous versions of salloc/srun work with newer versions
    of Slurm daemons.
 -- PMI2 race condition fix.
 -- Avoid delay on commit for PMI rank 0 to improve performance with some
    MPI implementations.
 -- Correct the sbatch pbs parser to process -j.

    differ.
 -- Use the slurm_getpwuid_r wrapper of getpwuid_r to handle possible
    interrupts.

    lock was locked outside of the function or not.
 -- Give even better estimates on pending node count if no node count
    is requested.
 -- Fix jobcomp/mysql plugin for MariaDB 10+/Mysql 5.6+ to work with reserved
    work "partition".
