 -- Fix for faking a large system to correctly handle node_id in the task
    afffinity plugin for ia64 systems.

* Changes in SLURM 1.2.27
=========================
 -- Record job eligible time in accounting database (for jobacct/gold only).
 -- Prevent user root from executing a job step within a job allocation 
    belonging to another user.
 -- Fixed limiting issue for strings larger than 4096 in xstrfmtcat
 -- Fix bug in how Slurm reports job state to Maui/Moab when a job is requeued
    due to a node failure, but we can't terminate the job's spawned processes.
    Job was being reported as PENDING when it was really still COMPLETING.
 -- Added patch from Jerry Smith for qstat -a output
 -- Fixed looking at the correct perl path for Slurm.pm in torque wrappers.
 -- Enhance job requeue on node failure to be more robust.
 -- Added configuration parameter "DisableRootJobs". See "man slurm.conf" 
    for details.
 -- Fixed issue with account = NULL in Gold job accounting plugin
* Changes in SLURM 1.2.26
=========================
 -- Correct number of sockets/cores/threads reported by slurmd (from
    Par Andersson, National Supercomputer Centre, Sweden).
 -- Update libpmi linking so that libslurm is not required for PMI use
    (from Steven McDougal, SiCortex).
 -- In srun and sbatch, do not check the PATH env var if an absolute pathname 
    of the program is specified (previously reported an error if no PATH).
 -- Correct output of "sinfo -o %C" (CPU counts by node state).
* Changes in SLURM 1.2.25
=========================
 -- Bug fix for setting exit code in accounting for batch script.
 -- Add salloc option, --no-shell (for LSF).

 -- Prevent "scontrol show job" from failing with buffer overflow when a job 
    has a very long Comment field.
 -- Make certain that a job step is purged when a job has been completed.
    Previous versions could have the job step persist if an allocated node
    went DOWN and the slurmctld restarted.
 -- Fix bug in sbcast that can cause communication problems for large files.
 -- Add sbcast option -t/--timeout and SBCAST_TIMEOUT environment variable 
    to control message timeout.
 -- Add threaded agent to manage a queue of Gold update requests for 
    performance reasons.
 -- Add salloc options --chdir and --get-user-env (for Moab).
 -- Modify scontrol update to support job comment changes.
 -- Do not clear a DRAINED node's reason field when slurmctld restarts.
 -- Do not cancel a pending job if Moab or Maui try to start it on unusable nodes.
    Leave the job queued.
 -- Add --requeue option to srun and sbatch (these undocumented options have no
    effect in slurm v1.2, but are legitimate options in slurm v1.3).

=========================
 -- In sched/wiki and sched/wiki2, support non-zero UPDATE_TIME specification
    for GETNODES and GETJOBS commands.

 -- fix infinite loop bug in sview when there were multiple partitions
 -- Send message to srun command when a job is requeued due to node failure.
    Note this will be overwritten in the output file unless JobFileAppend
    is set in slurm.conf. In slurm version 1.3, srun's --open-mode=append
    option will offer this control for each job.
 -- Change a node's default TmpDisk from 1MB to 0MB and change job's default 
    disk space requirement from 1MB to 0MB.
 -- In sched/wiki (Maui scheduler) specify a QOS (quality of service) by 
    specifying an account of the form "qos-name".

    "man slurm.conf" for details.
 -- Modify salloc and sbatch to accept both "--tasks" and "--ntasks" as 
    equivalent options for compatibility with srun.

    an error.
 -- Set correct executable names for Totalview when --multi-prog option 
    is used and more than one node is allocated to the job step.
 -- When a batch job gets requeued, record in accounting logs that 
    the job was cancelled, the requeued job's submit time will be 
    set to the time of its requeue so it looks like a different job.

* Changes in SLURM 1.2.19
=========================
*** NOTE IMPORTANT CHANGE IN RPM BUILD BELOW ****
 -- slurm.spec file (used to build RPMs) was updated in order to support Mock, a
    chroot build environment. See https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/mock/
    for more information. The following RPMs are no longer build by default:
    aix-federation, auth_none, authd, bluegene, sgijob, and switch-elan. Change 
    the RPMs built using the following options in ~/rpmmacros: "%_with_authd 1", 
    "%_without_munge 1", etc. See the slurm.spec file for more details.
 -- Print warning if non-privileged user requests negative "--nice" value on
    job submission (srun, salloc, and sbatch commands).
 -- In sched/wiki and sched/wiki2, add support for srun's --ntasks-per-node 
    option.
 -- In select/bluegene with Groups defined for Images, fix possible memory 
    corruption. Other configurations are not affected. 
 -- BLUEGENE - Fix bug that prevented user specification of linux-image, 
    mloader-image, and ramdisk-image on job submission.
 -- BLUEGENE - filter Groups specified for image not just by submitting 
    user's current group, but all groups the user has access to.
 -- BLUEGENE - Add salloc options to specify images to be loaded (--blrts-image, 
    --linux-image, --mloader-image, and --ramdisk-image).
 -- BLUEGENE - In bluegene.conf, permit Groups to be comma separated in addition 
    to colon separators previously supported.
 -- sbatch will accept batch script containing "#SLURM" options and advise
    changed to "#SBATCH".
 -- If srun --output or --error specification contains a task number rather 
    than a file name, send stdout/err from specified task to srun's stdout/err
    rather than to a file by the same name as the task's number.
 -- For srun --multi-prog option, verify configuration file before attempting 
    to launch tasks, report clear explanation of any configuration file errors.
 -- For sched/wiki2, add optional timeout option to srun's --get-user-env
    parameter, change default timeout for "su - <user> env" from 3 to 8 seconds.
    On timeout, attempt to load env from file at StateSaveLocation/env_cache/<user>.
    The format of this file is the same as output of "env" command. If there
    is no env cache file, then abort the request.
 -- squeue modified for completing job to remove nodes that have already 
    completed the job before applying node filter logic.
 -- squeue formatted output option added for job comment, "%q" (the obvious 
    choices for letters are already in use).
 -- Added configure option --enable-load-env-no-login for use with Moab. If
    set then the user job runs with the environment built without a login
    ("su <user> env" rather than "su - <user> env").
 -- Fix output of "srun -o %C" (allocated CPU count) for running jobs. This was
    broken in 1.2.18 for handling requeue of Moab jobs.
 -- Added logic to mpiexec wrapper to read in the MPIEXEC_TIMEOUT var
 -- Updated qstat wrapper to display information for partitions (-Q) option
 -- NOTE: SLURM should now work directly with Globus using the PBS GRAM.

 -- In sched/wiki2 and sched/wiki add support for batch job being requeued
    in Slurm either when nodes fail or upon request.
 -- In sched/wiki2 and sched/wiki with FastSchedule=2 configured and nodes 
    configured with more CPUs than actually exist, return a value of TASKS 
    equal to the number of configured CPUs that are allocated to a job rather 
    than the number of physical CPUs allocated.
 -- For sched/wiki2, timeout "srun --get-user-env ..." command after 3 seconds 
    if unable to perform pseudo-login and get user environment variables.
 -- Add contribs/time_login.c program to test how long pseudo-login takes
    for specific users or all users. This can identify users for which Moab 
    job submissions are unable to set the proper environment variables.
 -- Fix problem in parallel make of Slurm.
 -- Fixed bug in consumable resources when CR_Core_Memory is enabled

    or the prolog fails (unless --no-requeue or --no-kill option used).
 -- In sched/wiki, enable use of wiki.conf parameter ExcludePartitions to
    directly schedule selected partitions without Maui control.
 -- In sched/backfill, if a job requires specific nodes, schedule other jobs
    ahead of it rather than completely stopping backfill scheduling for that
    partition.

    fashion instead of linear.
* Changes in SLURM 1.2.16
=========================
 -- Add --overcommit option to the salloc command.

    by Chris Holmes, HP).
 -- Added PMI_TIME environment variable for user to control how PMI 
    communications are spread out in time. See "man srun" for details.

 -- Disable salloc, sbatch and srun -I/--immediate options with 
    Moab scheduler.
 -- Added "contribs" directory with a Perl API and Torque wrappers for Torque 
    to SLURM migration.  This directory should be used to put anything that 
    is outside of SLURM proper such as a different API. Perl APIs contributed 
    by Hongjia Cao (NUDT).

    hour:min:sec, and days-hour:min:sec (formerly only supported minutes).
    Applies to salloc, sbatch, and srun commands.
 -- Improve scheduling support for exclusive constraint list, nodes can 
    now be in more than one constraint specific exclusively for a job
    (e.g. "srun -C [rack1|rack2|rack3|rowB] srun")

    equivalent to "srun --exclusive" when select/cons_res is configured.
 -- In sched/wiki2, report the reason for a node being unavailable for the 
    GETNODES command using the CAT="<reason>" field.
 -- In sched/wiki2 with select/linear, duplicate hostnames in HOSTLIST, one
    per allocated processor.

* Changes in SLURM 1.2.11
=========================
 -- Updated "etc/mpich1.slurm.patch" for direct srun launch of MPICH1_P4
    tasks. See the "README" portion of the patch for details.
 -- Added new scontrol command "show hostlist <hostnames>" to translate a list 
    of hostnames into a hostlist expression (e.g. "tux1,tux2" -> "tux[1-2]")
    and "show hostnames <list>", returns a list of of nodes (one node per line)
    from SLURM hostlist expression or from SLURM_NODELIST environment variable 
    if no hostlist specified.

    srun.  Option does nothing in sbatch.
 -- Changed wiki2's handling of a node state in Completing to return 'busy' 
    instead of 'running' which matches slurm version 1.1

Moe Jette committed
========================
 -- Srun to use env vars for SLURM_PROLOG, SLURM_EPILOG, SLURM_TASK_PROLOG, 
    and SLURM_TASK_EPILOG. patch.1.2.0-pre11.070201.envproepilog from 
    Dan Palermo, HP.
 -- Documenation update. patch.1.2.0-pre11.070201.mchtml from Dan Palermo, HP.
 -- Set SLURM_DIST_CYCLIC = 1 (needed for HP MPI, slurm.hp.env.patch).
* Changes in SLURM 1.2.0-pre15
==============================
 -- Fix for another spot where the backup controller calls switch/federation
    code before switch/federation is initialized.

* Changes in SLURM 1.2.0-pre14
==============================
 -- In sched/wiki2, clear required nodes list when a job is requeued.
    Note that the required node list is set to every node used when 
    a job is started via sched/wiki2.
 -- BLUEGENE - Added display of deallocating blocks to smap and other tools. 
 -- Make slurmctld's working directory be same as SlurmctldLogFile (if any),
    otherwise StateSaveDir (which is likely a shared directory, possibly 
    making core file identification more difficult).
 -- Fix bug in switch/federation that results in the backup controller
    aborting if it receives an epilog-complete message.
* Changes in SLURM 1.2.0-pre13
==============================
 -- Fix for --get-user-env.

* Changes in SLURM 1.2.0-pre12
==============================
 -- BLUEGENE - Added correct node info for sinfo and sview for viewing
    allocated nodes in a partition.
 -- BLUEGENE - Added state save on slurmctld shutdown of blocks in an error 
    state on real systems and total block config on emulation systems.
 -- Major update to Slurm's PMI internal logic for better scalability.
    Communications now supported directly between application tasks via 
    Slurm's PMI library. Srun sends single message to one task on each node
    and that tasks forwards key-pairs to other tasks on that nodes. The old 
    code sent key-pairs directly to each task. 
    NOTE: PMI applications must re-link with this new library.
 -- For multi-core support: Fix task distribution bug and add automated 
    tests, patch.1.2.0-pre11.070111.plane from Dan Palermo (HP).

* Changes in SLURM 1.2.0-pre11
==============================
 -- Add multi-core options to slurm_step_launch API.
 -- Add man pages for slurm_step_launch() and related functions.
 -- Jobacct plugin only looks at the proctrack list instead of the entire
    list of processes running on the node. Cutting down a lot of unnecessary
    file opens in linux and cutting down the time to query the procs by
    more than half.
 -- Multi-core bug fix, mask re-use with multiple job steps,
    patch.1.2.0-pre10.061214.affinity_stepid from Dan Palermo (HP).

    task counts, patch.1.2.0-pre9.061212.cpubind_verbose from Dan Palermo (HP).
 -- Make sure jobacct plugin files are closed before exec of user tasks to 
    prevent problems with job checkpoint/restart (based on work by 
    Hongjia Cao, NUDT).
* Changes in SLURM 1.2.0-pre9
=============================

* Changes in SLURM 1.2.0-pre8
=============================
 -- Modity job state "reason" field to report why a job failed (previously 
    previously reported only reason waiting to run). Requires cold-start of 
    slurmctld (-c option).
 -- For sched/wiki2 job state request, return REJMESSAGE= with reason for 
    a job's failure.
 -- New FastSchedule configuration parameter option "2" means to base 
    scheduling decisions upon the node's configuration as specified in 
    slurm.conf and ignore the node's actual hardware configuration. This 
    can be useful for testing. 
 -- Add sinfo output format option "%C" for CPUs (active/idle/other/total).
    Based upon work by Anne-Marie Wunderlin (BULL).

    code for Moab Scheduler).
 -- BLUEGENE - changed way of keeping track of smaller partitions using 
    ionode range instead of quarter nodecard notation. 
    (i.e. bgl000[0-3] instead of bgl000.0.0)
 -- Patch from Hongjia Cao (EINPROGRESS error message change)
