* Changes in SLURM 1.0.16
=========================
-- For "srun --attach=X" to other users job, report an error and exit (it
previously just hung).
-- Make sure that "scancel -s KILL" terminates the job just like "scancel"
including deletion of all job steps (Chris Holmes, HP, slurm,patch).
-- Recognize ISO-8859 input to srun as a script (for non-English scripts).
-- switch/elan: Fix bug in propagation of ELAN_STATKEY environment variable.

-- Fix bug in slurmstepd IO code that can result in it spinning if a
certain error occurs.

-- Remove nodes from srun's required node list if their count exceeds
the number of requested tasks.
-- sched/backfill to schedule around jobs that are hung in a completing
state.
-- Avoid possibly re-running the epilog for a job on slurmctld restart or
reconfig by saving and restoring a hostlist of nodes still completing
the job.
* Changes in SLURM 1.0.15
=========================
-- In srun, reset stdin to blocking mode (if it was originally blocking before
we set it to O_NONBLOCK) on exit to avoid trouble with things like running
srun under a bash shell in an emacs *shell* buffer.
-- Fix srun race condition that occasionally causes segfaults at shutdown
-- Fix obscure locking issues in log.c code.
-- Explicitly close IO related sockets. If an srun gets "stuck", possibly
because of unkillable tasks in its job step, it will not hold many TCP
sockets in the CLOSE_WAIT state.
-- Increase the SLURM protocol timeout from 5 seconds to 10 seconds.
(In 1.2 there will be a slurm.conf parameter for this, rather than having
it hardcoded.)
* Changes in SLURM 1.0.14
=========================
-- Fix for bad xfree() call in auth/munge which can raise an assert().
-- Fix installed fork handlers for the conf mutex for slurmd and slurmstepd.
* Changes in SLURM 1.0.13
=========================
-- Fix for AllowGroups option to work when the /etc/group file doesn't
contain all users in group by adding the uids of the names in /etc/passwd
that have a gid of that which we are looking for.
-- Fix bug in InactiveLimit support that can potentially purge active jobs.
NOTE: This is highly unlikely except on very large AIX clusters.
-- Fix bug for reiniting the config_lock around the control_file in
slurm_protocol_api.c logic has changed in 1.1 so no need to merge
* Changes in SLURM 1.0.12
=========================
-- Report node state of DRAIN rather than DOWN if DOWN with DRAIN flag set.
-- Initialize job->mail_type to 0 (NONE) for job submission.
-- Fix for stalled task stdout/stderr when buffered I/O is used, and
a single line exceeds 4096 bytes.
-- Memory leak fixes for maui plugin (hjcao@nudt.edu.cn)
Christopher J. Morrone
committed
-- Fix for spinning srun when the terminal to which srun is talking
goes away.
-- Don't set avail_node_bitmap for DRAINED nodes on slurmctld reconfig
(can schedule a job on drained node after reconfig).

committed
* Changes in SLURM 1.0.11
=========================
-- Fix for slurmstepd hang when launching a task. (Needed to install
list library's atfork handlers).
-- Fix memory leak on AIX (and possibly other architectures) due to
missing pthread_attr_destroy() calls.
-- Fix rare task standard I/O setup bug. When the bug hit, stdin, stdout,

or stderr could be an invalid file descriptor.

-- BLUEGENE SPECIFIC - added load function to smap to load an already
exsistant bluegene.conf file.

only the last one with that ID will be reported. If multiple
nodes fail, the job has its state recorded as "JOB_TERMINATED...nf"
(Andy Riebs, HP, slurm.hp.sacct_dup.patch).
-- Fix some inconsistencies in sacct's help message (Andy Riebs, HP,
slurm.hp.sacct_help.patch).

-- Removes the slurmd's use of SysV shared memory. Instead the slurmd
communicates with the slurmstepd processes through the slurmstepd's
new named unix domain socket. The "stepd_api" is used to talk to the
slurmstepd (src/slurmd/common/stepd_api.[ch]).
-- Bluegene specific - bluegene block allocator will find most any
partition size now. Added support to start at any point in smap
to request a partition instead of always starting at 000.
-- Bluegene specific - Support to smap to down or bring up nodes in
configure mode. Added commands include allup, alldown,
up [range], down [range]

error condition.

simple messaging protocol.
-- Added task plugin and use task prolog/epilog(s).
-- New slurmd_step functionality added. Fork exec instead of using shared
memory. Not completely tested.
-- BGL small partition logic in place in plugin and smap. Scheduler needs
to be rewritten to handle multiple partitions on a single node. No
documentation written on process yet.
-- If running select/bluegene plugin without access to BGL DB2, then
full-system bglblock is of system size defined in bluegene.conf.

=========================
-- Fix bug in sinfo partition sorting order.
-- Fix bugs in srun use of #SLURM options in batch script.

* Changes in SLURM 0.6.10
=========================
-- Fix for slurmd job termination logic (could hang in COMPLETING state).
-- Sacct bug fixes: Report correct user name for job step, show "uid.gid"
as fifth field of job step record (Andy Riebs, slurm.hp.sacct_uid.patch).
-- Add job_id to maui scheduler plugin start job status message.

=============================
-- Remove debugging xassert in switch/federation that were accidentally
committed
-- Make slurmd step manager retry slurm_container_destroy() indefinitely

completing until the container destroy succeeds.
* Changes in SLURM 0.6.0-pre7
=============================
-- Disable localtime_r() calls from forked processes (semaphore set
in another pthread can deadlock calls to localtime_r made from
the forked process, this will be properly fixed in the next

* Changes in SLURM 0.6.0-pre5
=============================

an argument.

nodes that the user can't access, otherwise there are holes in
its maps).
-- Added module to parse time string (src/common/parse_time.c) for
future use.
-- Fix BlueGene hostlist processing for non-rectangular prisms and
add string length checking.

-- Add job step network specification field.
-- Add proctrack/rms plugin
-- Change the proctrack API to send a slurmd_job_t pointer to both

request RPC.
-- Fix mpich-gm bugs, thanks to Takao Hatazaki (HP).
-- Fix code for clean build with gcc 2.96, Takao Hatazaki (HP).

than just aborting on failure.

-- Modify squeue --user option to accept not only user names, but also
user IDs.

startup, not on reconfig. Fixes race condition.
-- Modified bluegene plugin to work with 141 driver. Enabling it to
only have to reboot when switching from coproc -> virtual and back.
-- added support for a full system partition to make sure every other
partition is free and vice-verse.
-- smap resizing issue fixed.
-- change prolog not to add time when a partition is in deallocating
state.
-- NOTE: This version of SLURM requires BGL driver 141/2005.

of BGL partitions updating every second. will handle multiple attempts
at booting if booting a partition fails.
* Changes in SLURM 0.4.18
=========================
-- Added error checking of rm_remove_partition calls.

-- Changed the prolog and the epilog to use the env var MPIRUN_PARTITION
instead of BGL_PARTITION_ID

========================
-- Remove some BGL specific headers that IBM now distributes, NOTE
BGL driver 080 or greater required.
-- Change autogen.sh to deal with problems running autoconf on one
system and configure on another with different software versions.

from IBM.

time a new job is inserted.
* Changes in SLURM 0.4.3
========================
-- Turn off some RPM build checks (bug in RPM, see slurm.spec.in)
-- starting slurmctrld will destroy all RMP*** partitions everytime.
* Changes in SLURM 0.4.2
========================
-- Fix memory leak in BlueGene plugin.
-- Srun's --test-only option takes precedence over --batch option.

a job prolog was still running.
-- BlueGene plugin kills jobs running in defunct bglblock on restart.
-- Smap displays pending jobs now, in addition to running and completing jobs.

virtual bglblocks for now (later create just one and use API to change
it when such an API is available).
-- Add "ChangeNumpsets" parameter to bluegene.conf to use script to
update the numpsets parameter for newly created bglblocks (to be
removed once the API functions).
-- Add all patches from slurm v0.3.11 (through 2/7/2005)
- Added srun option --disable-status,-X to disable srun status feature
and instead forward SIGINT immediately to job upon receipt of Ctrl-C.

as "stale" and delete entry for unkillable or slow-to-exit job.

-- Move startup script from "/etc/rc.d/init.d/slurm" to "/etc/init.d/slurm"
-- Modify prolog/epilog logic in slurmd to accomodate very long run times,
on BGL these scripts wait for events that can take a very long time
(tens of seconds).
-- This code base was used for BGLb acceptance test with pre-defined
BGL blocks.
* Changes in SLURM 0.4.0-pre5
