This file describes changes in recent versions of Slurm. It primarily
documents those changes that are of interest to users and administrators.

* Changes in Slurm 16.05.3
==========================
 -- Make it so the extern step uses a reverse tree when cleaning up.
 -- If extern step doesn't get added into the proctrack plugin make sure the
    sleep is killed.
 -- Fix areas the slurmctld can segfault if an extern step is in the system
    cleaning up on a restart.
 -- Prevent possible incorrect counting of GRES of a given type if a node has
    the multiple "types" of a given GRES "name", which could over-subscribe
    GRES of a given type.
 -- Add web links to Slurm Diamond Collectors (from Harvard University) and
    collectd (from EDF).
 -- Add job_submit plugin for the "reboot" field.
 -- Make some more Slurm constants (INFINITE, NO_VAL64, etc.) available to
    job_submit/lua plugins.
 -- Send in a -1 for a taskid into spank_task_post_fork for the extern_step.
 -- MYSQL - Sightly better logic if a job completion comes in with an end time
    of 0.
 -- task/cgroup plugin is configured with ConstrainRAMSpace=yes, then set soft
    memory limit to allocated memory limit (previously no soft limit was set).
 -- Document limitations in burst buffer use by the salloc command (possible
    access problems from a login node).
 -- Fix proctrack plugin to only add the pid of a process once
    (regression in 16.05.2).
 -- Fix for sstat to print correct info when requesting jobid.batch as part of
    a comma-separated list.
 -- CRAY - Fix issue if pid has already been added to another job container.
 -- CRAY - Fix add of extern step to AELD.
 -- burstbufer/cray: avoid batch submit error condition if waiting for stagein.
 -- CRAY - Fix for reporting steps lingering after they are already finished.
 -- Testsuite - fix test1.29 / 17.15 for limits with values above 32-bits.
 -- CRAY - Simplify when a NHC is called on a step that has unkillable
    processes.
 -- CRAY - If trying to kill a step and you have NHC_NO_STEPS set run NHC
    anyway to attempt to log the backtraces of the potential
    unkillable processes.
 -- Fix gang scheduling and license release logic if single node job killed on
    bad node.
 -- Make scontrol show steps show the extern step correctly.
 -- Do not scheduled powered down nodes in FAILED state.
 -- Do not start slurmctld power_save thread until partition information is read
    in order to prevent race condition that can result invalid pointer when
    trying to resolve configured SuspendExcParts.
 -- Add SLURM_PENDING_STEP id so it won't be confused with SLURM_EXTERN_CONT.
 -- Fix for core selection with job --gres-flags=enforce-binding option.
    Previous logic would in some cases allocate a job zero cores, resulting in
    slurmctld abort.
 -- Minimize preempted jobs for configurations with multiple jobs per node.
 -- Improve partition AllowGroups caching. Update the table of UIDs permitted to
    use a partition based upon it's AllowGroups configuration parameter as new
    valid UIDs are found rather than looking up that user's group information
    for every job they submit. If the user is now allowed to use the partition,
    then do not check that user's group access again for 5 seconds.
 -- Add routing queue information to Slurm FAQ web page.
 -- Do not select_g_step_finish() a SLURM_PENDING_STEP step, as nothing has
    been allocated for the step yet.

* Changes in Slurm 16.05.2
==========================
 -- CRAY - Fix issue where the proctrack plugin could hang if the container
    id wasn't able to be made.
 -- Move test for job wait reason value of BurstBufferResources and
    BurstBufferStageIn later in the scheduling logic.
 -- Document which srun options apply to only job, only step, or job and step
    allocations.
 -- Use more compatible function to get thread name (>= 2.6.11).
 -- Fix order of job then step id when noting cleaning flag being set.
 -- Make it so the extern step sends a message with accounting information
    back to the slurmctld.
 -- Make it so the extern step calls the select_g_step_start|finish functions.
 -- Don't print error when extern step is canceled because job is ending.
 -- Handle a few error codes when dealing with the extern step to make sure
    we have the pids added to the system correctly.
 -- Add support for job dependencies with job array expressions. Previous logic
    required listing each task of job array individually.
 -- Make sure tres_cnt is set before creating a slurmdb_assoc_usage_t.
 -- Prevent backfill scheduler from starting a second "singleton" job if another
    one started during a backfill sleep.
 -- Fix for invalid array pointer when creating advanced reservation when job
    allocations span heterogeneous nodes (differing core or socket counts).
 -- Fix hostlist_ranged_string_xmalloc_dims to correctly not put brackets on
    hostlists when brackets == 0.
 -- Make sure we don't get brackets when making a range of reserved ports
    for a step.
 -- Change fatal to an error if port ranges aren't correct when reading state
    for steps.

* Changes in Slurm 16.05.1
==========================
 -- Fix __cplusplus macro in spank.h to allow compilation with C++.
 -- Fix compile issue with older glibc < 2.12
 -- Fix for starting batch step with mpi/pmix plugin.
 -- Fix for "scontrol -dd show job" with respect to displaying the specific
    CPUs allocated to a job on each node. Prior logic would only display
    the CPU information for the first node in the job allocation.
 -- Print correct return code on failure to update active node features
    through sview.
 -- Allow QOS timelimit to override partition timelimit when EnforcePartLimits
    is set to all/any.
 -- Make it so qsub will do a "basename" on a wrapped command for the output
    and error files.
 -- Fix issue where slurmd could core when running the ipmi energy plugin.
 -- Documentation - clean up typos.
 -- Add logic so that slurmstepd can be launched under valgrind.
 -- Increase buffer size to read /proc/*/stat files.
 -- Fix for tracking job resource allocation when slurmctld is reconfigured
    while Cray Node Health Check (NHC) is running. Previous logic would fail to
    record the job's allocation then perform release operation upon NHC
    completion, resulting in underflow error messages.
 -- Make "scontrol show daemons" work with long node names.
 -- CRAY - Collect energy using a uint64_t instead of uint32_t.
 -- Fix incorrect if statements when determining if the user has a default
    account or wckey.
 -- Prevent job stuck in configuring state if slurmctld daemon restarted while
    PrologSlurmctld is running. Also re-issue burst_buffer/pre-load operation
    as needed.
 -- Correct task affinity support for FreeBSD.
 -- Fix for task affinity on KNL in SNC2/Flat mode.
 -- Recalculate a job's memory allocation after node reboot if job requests all
    of a node's memory and FastSchedule=0 is configured. Intel KNL memory size
    can change on reboot with various MCDRAM modes.
 -- Fix small memory leak when printing HealthCheckNodeState.
 -- Eliminate memory leaks when AuthInfo is configured.
 -- Improve sdiag output description in man page.
 -- Cray/capmc_resume script modify a node's features (as needed) when the
    reinit (reboot) command is issued rather than wait for the nodes to change
    to the "on" state.
 -- Correctly print ranges when using step values in job arrays.
 -- Allow from file names / paths over 256 characters when launching steps,
    as well as spaces in the executable name.
 -- job_submit.license.lua example modified to send message back to user.
 -- Document job --mem=0 option means all memory on a node.
 -- Set SLURM_JOB_QOS environment variable to QOS name instead of description.
 -- knl_cray.conf file option of CnselectPath added.
 -- node_features/knl_cray plugin modified to get current node NUMA and MCDRAM
    modes using cnselect command rather than capmc command.
 -- liblua - add SLES12 paths to runtime search list.
 -- Fix qsub default output and error files for task arrays.
 -- Fix qsub to set job_name correctly when wrapping a script (-b y)
 -- Cray - set EnforcePartLimits=any in slurm.conf template.

* Changes in Slurm 16.05.0
==========================
 -- Update seff to fix warnings with ncpus, and list slurm-perlapi dependency
    in spec file.
 -- Fix testsuite to consistent use /usr/bin/env {bash,expect} construct.
 -- Cray - Ensure that step completion messages get to the database.
 -- Fix step cpus_per_task calculation for heterogeneous job allocation.
 -- Fix --with-json= configure option to use specified path.
 -- Add back thread_id to "thread_id" LogTimeFormat to distinguish between
    mutliple threads with the same name. Now displays thread name and id.
 -- Change how Slurm determines the NUMA count of a node. Ignore KNL NUMA
    that only include memory.
 -- Cray - Fix node list parsing in capmc_suspend/resume programs.
 -- Fix sbatch #BSUB parsing for -W and -M options.
 -- Fix GRES task layout bug that could cause slurmctld to abort.
 -- Fix to --gres-flags=enforce-binding logic when multiple sockets needed.

* Changes in Slurm 16.05.0rc2
=============================
 -- Cray node shutdown/reboot scripts, perform operations on all nodes in one
    capmc command. Only if that fails, issue the operations in parallel on
    individual nodes. Required for scalability.
 -- Cleanup two minor Coverity warnings.
 -- Make it so the tres units in a job's formatted string are converted like
    they are in a step.
 -- Correct partition's MaxCPUsPerNode enforcement when nodes are shared by
    multiple partitions.
 -- node_feature/knl_cray - Prevent slurmctld GRES errors for "hbm" references.
 -- Display thread name instead of thread id and remove process name in stderr
    logging for "thread_id" LogTimeFormat.
 -- Log IP address of bad incomming message to slurmctld.
 -- If a user requests tasks, nodes and ntasks-per-node and
    tasks-per-node/nodes != tasks print warning and ignore ntasks-per-node.
 -- Release CPU "owner" file locks.
 -- Fix for job step memory allocation: Reject invalid step at submit time
    rather than leaving it queued.
 -- Whenever possible, avoid allocating nodes that require a reboot.

* Changes in Slurm 16.05.0rc1
==============================
 -- Remove the SchedulerParameters option of "assoc_limit_continue", making it
    the default value. Add option of "assoc_limit_stop". If "assoc_limit_stop"
    is set and a job cannot start due to association limits, then do not attempt
    to initiate any lower priority jobs in that partition. Setting this can
    decrease system throughput and utlization, but avoid potentially starving
    larger jobs by preventing them from launching indefinitely.
 -- Update a node's socket and cores per socket counts as needed after a node
    boot to reflect configuration changes which can occur on KNL processors.
    Note that the node's total core count must not change, only the distribution
    of cores across varying socket counts (KNL NUMA nodes treated as sockets by
    Slurm).
 -- Rename partition configuration from "Shared" to "OverSubscribe". Rename
    salloc, sbatch, srun option from "--shared" to "--oversubscribe". The old
    options will continue to function. Output field names also changed in
    scontrol, sinfo, squeue and sview.
 -- Add SLURM_UMASK environment variable to user job.
 -- knl_conf: Added new configuration parameter of CapmcPollFreq.
 -- squeue: remove errant spaces in column formats for "squeue -o %all".
 -- Add ARRAY_TASKS mail option to send emails to each task in a job array.
 -- Change default compression library for sbcast to lz4.
 -- select/cray - Initiate step node health check at start of step termination
    rather than after application completely ends so that NHC can capture
    information about hung (non-killable) processes.
 -- Add --units=[KMGTP] option to sacct to display values in specific unit type.
 -- Modify sacct and sacctmgr to display TRES values in converted units.
 -- Modify sacctmgr to accept TRES values with [KMGTP] suffixes.
 -- Replace hash function with more modern SipHash functions.
 -- Add "--with-cray_dir" build/configure option.
 -- BB- Only send stage_out email when stage_out is set in script.
 -- Add r/w locking to file_bcast receive functions in slurmd.
 -- Add TopologyParam option of "TopoOptional" to optimize network topology
    only for jobs requesting it.
 -- Fix build on FreeBSD.
 -- Configuration parameter "CpuFreqDef" used to set default governor for job
    step not specifying --cpu-freq (previously the parameter was unused).
 -- Fix sshare -o<format> to correctly display new lengths.
 -- Update documentation to rename Shared option to OverSubscribe.
 -- Update documentation to rename partition Priority option to PriorityTier.
 -- Prevent changing of QOS on running jobs.
 -- Update accounting when changing QOS on pending jobs.
 -- Add support to ntasks_per_socket in task/affinity.
 -- Generate init.d and systemd service scripts in etc/ through Make rather
    than at configure time to ensure all variable substitutions happen.
 -- Use TaskPluginParam for default task binding if no user specified CPU
    binding. User --cpu_bind option takes precident over default. No longer
    any error if user --cpu_bind option does not match TaskPluginParam.
 -- Make sacct and sattach work with older slurmd versions.
 -- Fix protocol handling between 15.08 and 16.05 for 'scontrol show config'.
 -- Enable prefixes (e.g. info, debug, etc.) in slurmstepd debugging.

* Changes in Slurm 16.05.0pre2
==============================
 -- Split partition's "Priority" field into "PriorityTier" (used to order
    partitions for scheduling and preemption) plus "PriorityJobFactor" (used by
    priority/multifactor plugin in calculating job priority, which is used to
    order jobs within a partition for scheduling).
 -- Revert call to getaddrinfo, restoring gethostbyaddr (introduced in Slurm
    16.05.0pre1) which was failing on some systems.
 -- knl_cray.conf - Added AllowMCDRAM, AllowNUMA and ALlowUserBoot
    configuration options.
 -- Add node_features_p_user_update() function to node_features plugin.
 -- Don't print Weight=1 lines in 'scontrol write config' (its the default).
 -- Remove PARAMS macro from slurm.h.
 -- Remove BEGIN_C_DECLS and END_C_DECLS macros.
 -- Check that PowerSave mode configured for node_features/knl_cray plugin.
    It is required to reconfigure and reboot nodes.
 -- Update documentation to reflect new cgroup default location change from
    /cgroup to /sys/fs/cgroup.
 -- If NodeHealthCheckProgram configured HealthCheckInterval is non-zero, then
    modify slurmd to run it before registering with slurmctld.
 -- Fix for tasks being packed onto cores when the requested --cpus-per-task is
    greater than the number of threads on a core and --ntasks-per-core is 1.
 -- Make it so jobs/steps track ':' named gres/tres, before hand gres/gpu:tesla
    would only track gres/gpu, now it will track both gres/gpu and
    gres/gpu:tesla as separate gres if configured like
    AccountingStorageTRES=gres/gpu,gres/gpu:tesla
 -- Added new job dependency type of "aftercorr" which will start a task of a
    job array after the corresponding task of another job array completes.
 -- Increase default MaxTasksPerNode configuration parameter from 128 to 512.
 -- Enable sbcast data compression logic (compress option previously ignored).
 -- Add --compress option to srun command for use with --bcast option.
 -- Add TCPTimeout option to slurm[dbd].conf. Decouples MessageTimeout from TCP
    connections.
 -- Don't call primary controller for every RPC when backup is in control.
 -- Add --gres-flags=enforce-binding option to salloc, sbatch and srun commands.
    If set, the only CPUs available to the job will be those bound to the
    selected GRES (i.e. the CPUs identifed in the gres.conf file will be
    strictly enforced rather than advisory).
 -- Change how a node's allocated CPU count is calculated to avoid double
    counting CPUs allocated to multiple jobs at the same time.
 -- Added SchedulingParameters option of "bf_min_prio_reserve". Jobs below
    the specified threshold will not have resources reserved for them.
 -- Added "sacctmgr show lostjobs" to report any orphaned jobs in the database.
 -- When a stepd is about to shutdown and send it's response to srun
    make the wait to return data only hit after 500 nodes and configurable
    based on the TcpTimeout value.
 -- Add functionality to reset the lft and rgt values of the association table
    with the slurmdbd.
 -- Add SchedulerParameter no_env_cache, if set no env cache will be use when
    launching a job, instead the job will fail and drain the node if the env
    isn't loaded normally.

* Changes in Slurm 16.05.0pre1
==============================
 -- Add sbatch "--wait" option that waits for job completion before exiting.
    Exit code will match that of spawned job.
 -- Modify advanced reservation save/restore logic for core reservations to
    support configuration changes (changes in configured nodes or cores counts).
 -- Allow ControlMachine, BackupController, DbdHost and DbdBackupHost to be
    either short or long hostname.
 -- Job output and error files can now contain "%" character by specifying
    a file name with two consecutive "%" characters. For example,
    "sbatch -o "slurm.%%.%j" for job ID 123 will generate an output file named
    "slurm.%.123".
 -- Pass user name in Prolog RPC from controller to slurmd when using
    PrologFlags=Alloc. Allows SLURM_JOB_USER env variable to be set when using
    Native Slurm on a Cray.
 -- Add "NumTasks" to job information visible to Slurm commands.
 -- Add mail wrapper script "smail" that will include job statistics in email
    notification messages.
 -- Remove vestigial "SICP" job option (inter-cluster job option). Completely
    different logic will be forthcoming.
 -- Fix case where the primary and backup dbds would both be performing rollup.
 -- Add an ack reply from slurmd to slurmstepd when job setup is done and the
    job is ready to be executed.
 -- Removed support for authd. authd has not been developed and supported since
    several years. 
 -- Introduce a new parameter requeue_setup_env_fail in SchedulerParameters.
    A job that fails to setup the environment will be requeued and the node
    drained.
 -- Add ValidateTimeout and OtherTimeout to "scontrol show burst" output.
 -- Increase default sbcast buffer size from 512KB to 8MB.
 -- Enable the hdf5 profiling of the batch step.
 -- Eliminate redundant environment and script files for job arrays.
 -- Stop searching sbatch scripts for #PBS directives after 100 lines of
    non-comments. Stop parsing #PBS or #SLURM directives after 1024 characters
    into a line. Required for decent perforamnce with huge scripts.
 -- Add debug flag for timing Cray portions of the code.
 -- Remove all *.la files from RPMs.
 -- Add Multi-Category Security (MCS) infrastructure to permit nodes to be bound
    to specific users or groups.
 -- Install the pmi2 unix sockets in slurmd spool directory instead of /tmp.
 -- Implement the getaddrinfo and getnameinfo instead of gethostbyaddr and
    gethostbyname.
 -- Finished PMIx implementation.
 -- Implemented the --without=package option for configure.
 -- Fix sshare to show each individual cluster with -M,--clusters option.
 -- Added --deadline option to salloc, sbatch and srun. Jobs which can not be
    completed by the user specified deadline will be terminated with a state of
    "Deadline" or "DL".
 -- Implemented and documented PMIX protocol which is used to bootstrap an
    MPI job. PMIX is an alternative to PMI and PMI2.
 -- Change default CgroupMountpoint (in cgroup.conf) from "/cgroup" to
    "/sys/fs/cgroup" to match current standard.
 -- Add #BSUB options to sbatch to read in from the batch script.
 -- HDF: Change group name of node from nodename to nodeid.
 -- The partition-specific SelectTypeParameters parameter can now be used to
    change the memory allocation tracking specification in the global
    SelectTypeParameters configuration parameter. Supported partition-specific
    values are CR_Core, CR_Core_Memory, CR_Socket and CR_Socket_Memory. If the
    global SelectTypeParameters value includes memory allocation management and
    the partition-specific value does not, then memory allocation management for
    that partition will NOT be supported (i.e. memory can be over-allocated).
    Likewise the global SelectTypeParameters might not include memory management
    while the partition-specific value does.
 -- Burst buffer/cray - Add support for multiple buffer pools including support
    for different resource granularity by pool.
 -- Burst buffer advanced reservation units treated as bytes (per documentation)
    rather than GB.
 -- Add an "scontrol top <jobid>" command to re-order the priorities of a user's
    pending jobs. May be disabled with the "disable_user_top" option in the
    SchedulerParameters configuration parameter.
 -- Modify sview to display negative job nice values.
 -- Increase job's nice value field from 16 to 32 bits.
 -- Remove deprecated job_submit/cnode plugin.
 -- Enhance slurm.conf option EnforcePartLimit to include options like "ANY" and
    "ALL".  "Any" is equivalent to "Yes" and "All" will check all partitions
    a job is submitted to and if any partition limit is violated the job will
    be rejected even if it could possibly run on another partition.
 -- Add "features_act" field (currently active features) to the node
    information. Output of scontrol, sinfo, and sview changed accordingly.
    The field previously displayed as "Features" is now "AvailableFeatures"
    while the new field is displayed as "ActiveFeatures".
 -- Remove Sun Constellation, IBM Federation Switches (replaced by NRT switch
    plugin) and long-defunct Quadrics Elan support.
 -- Add -M<clusters> option to sreport.
 -- Rework group caching to work better in environments with
    enumeration disabled. Removed CacheGroups config directive, group
    membership lists are now always cached, controlled by
    GroupUpdateTime parameter. GroupUpdateForce parameter default
    value changed to 1.
 -- Add reservation flag of "purge_comp" which will purge an advanced
    reservation once it has no more active (pending, suspended or running) jobs.
 -- Add new configuration parameter "KNLPlugins" and plugin infrastructure.
 -- Add optional job "features" to node reboot RPC.
 -- Add slurmd "-b" option to report node rebooted at daemon start time. Used
    for testing purposes.
 -- contribs/cray: Add framework for powering nodes up and down.
 -- For job constraint, convert comma separator to "&".
 -- Add Max*PerAccount options for QOS.
 -- Protect slurm_mutex_* calls with abort() on failure.

 -- Documentation - cleanup typos.
 -- Add logic so that slurmstepd can be launched under valgrind.
 -- Increase buffer size to read /proc/*/stat files.
 -- MYSQL - Handle ER_HOST_IS_BLOCKED better by failing when it occurs instead
    of continuously printing the message over and over as the problem will
    most likely not resolve itself.

 -- MySQL - Fix for possible race condition when archiving multiple clusters
    at the same time.
 -- Fix compile for when you don't have hwloc.

    ConstrainRAMSpace set in cgroup.conf.
 -- MYSQL - Fix order of operations issue where if the database is locked up
    and the slurmctld doesn't wait long enough for the response it would give
    up leaving the connection open and create a situation where the next message
    sent could receive the response of the first one.
 -- Fix CFULL_BLOCK distribution type.
 -- Prevent sbatch from trying to enable debug messages when using job arrays.
 -- Prevent sbcast from enabling "--preserve" when specifying a jobid.

 -- Fix for tracking a node's allocated CPUs with gang scheduling.
 -- Fix Hidden error during _rpc_forward_data call.
 -- Fix bug resulting from wrong order-of-operations in _connect_srun_cr(),
    and two others that cause incorrect debug messages.
 -- Fix backwards compatibility with sreport going to <= 14.11 coming from

* Changes in Slurm 15.08.11
===========================
 -- Fix for job "--contiguous" option that could cause job allocation/launch
    failure or slurmctld crash.
 -- Fix to setup logs for single-character program names correctly.
 -- Backfill scheduling performance enhancement with large number of running
    jobs.
 -- Reset job's prolog_running counter on slurmctld restart or reconfigure.
 -- burst_buffer/cray - Update job's prolog_running counter if pre_run fails.
 -- MYSQL - Make the error message more specific when removing a reservation
    and it doesn't meet basic requirements.
 -- burst_buffer/cray - Fix for script creating or deleting persistent buffer
    would fail "paths" operation and hold the job.
 -- power/cray - Prevent possible divide by zero.
 -- power/cray - Fix bug introduced in 15.08.10 preventin operation in many
    cases.
 -- Prevent deadlock for flow of data to the slurmdbd when sending reservation
    that wasn't set up correctly.
 -- burst_buffer/cray - Don't call Datawarp "paths" function if script includes
    only create or destroy of persistent burst buffer. Some versions of Datawarp
    software return an error for such scripts, causing the job to be held.
 -- Fix potential issue when adding and removing TRES which could result
    in the slurmdbd segfaulting.
 -- Add cast to memory limit calculation to prevent integer overflow for
    very large memory values.

* Changes in Slurm 15.08.10
===========================
 -- Fix issue where if a slurmdbd rollup lasted longer than 1 hour the
    rollup would effectively never run again.
 -- Make error message in the pmi2 code to debug as the issue can be expected
    and retries are done making the error message a little misleading.
 -- Power/cray: Don't specify NID list to Cray APIs. If any of those nodes are
    not in a ready state, the API returned an error for ALL nodes rather than
    valid data for nodes in ready state.

 -- Fix situation on a heterogeneous memory cluster where the order of
    constraints mattered in a job.

* Changes in Slurm 15.08.9
==========================
 -- BurstBuffer/cray - Defer job cancellation or time limit while "pre-run"
    operation in progress to avoid inconsistent state due to multiple calls
    to job termination functions.
 -- Fix issue with resizing jobs and limits not be kept track of correctly.
 -- BGQ - Remove redeclaration of job_read_lock.
 -- BGQ - Tighter locks around structures when nodes/cables change state.
 -- Make it possible to change CPUsPerTask with scontrol.
 -- Make it so scontrol update part qos= will take away a partition QOS from
    a partition.
 -- Fix issue where SocketsPerBoard didn't translate to Sockets when CPUS=
    was also given.
 -- Add note to slurm.conf man page about setting "--cpu_bind=no" as part
    of SallocDefaultCommand if a TaskPlugin is in use.
 -- Set correct reason when a QOS' MaxTresMins is violated.
 -- Insure that a job is completely launched before trying to suspend it.
 -- Remove historical presentations and design notes. Only distribute
    maintained doc/html and doc/man directories.
 -- Remove duplicate xmalloc() in task/cgroup plugin.
 -- Backfill scheduler to validate correct job partition for job submitted to
    multiple partitions.
 -- Force close on exec on first 256 file descriptors when launching a
    slurmstepd to close potential open ones.
 -- Step GRES value changed from type "int" to "int64_t" to support larger
    values.

 -- Fix route/topology plugin to prevent segfault in sbcast when in use.
 -- Fix Cray slurmconfgen_smw.py script to use nid as nid, not nic.
 -- Fix Cray NHC spawning on job requeue. Previous logic would leave nodes
    allocated to a requeued job as non-usable on job termination.
 -- burst_buffer/cray plugin: Prevent a requeued job from being restarted while
    file stage-out is still in progress. Previous logic could restart the job
    and not perform a new stage-in.
 -- Fix job array formatting to allow return [0-100:2] display for arrays with
    step functions rather than [0,2,4,6,8,...] .
 -- FreeBSD - replace Linux-specific set_oom_adj to avoid errors in slurmd log.
 -- Add option for TopologyParam=NoInAddrAnyCtld to make the slurmctld listen
    on only one port like TopologyParam=NoInAddrAny does for everything else.
 -- Fix burst buffer plugin to prevent corruption of the CPU TRES data when bb
    is not set as an AccountingStorageTRES type.
 -- Surpress error messages in acct_gather_energy/ipmi plugin after repeated
    failures.
 -- Change burst buffer use completion email message from
    "SLURM Job_id=1360353 Name=tmp Staged Out, StageOut time 00:01:47" to
    "SLURM Job_id=1360353 Name=tmp StageOut/Teardown time 00:01:47"
 -- Generate burst buffer use completion email immediately afer teardown
    completes rather than at job purge time (likely minutes later).
 -- Fix issue when adding a new TRES to AccountingStorageTRES for the first
    time.
 -- Update gang scheduling tables when job manually suspended or resumed. Prior
    logic could mess up job suspend/resume sequencing.
 -- Update gang scheduling data structures when job changes in size.
 -- Associations - prevent hash table corruption if uid initially unset for
    a user, which can cause slurmctld to crash if that user is deleted.
 -- Avoid possibly aborting srun on SIGSTOP while creating the job step due to
    threading bug.
 -- Fix deadlock issue with burst_buffer/cray when a newly created burst
    buffer is found.
 -- burst_buffer/cray: Set environment variables just before starting job rather
    than at job submission time to reflect persistent buffers created or
    modified while the job is pending.
 -- Fix check of per-user qos limits on the initial run by a user.
 -- Fix gang scheduling resource selection bug which could prevent multiple jobs
    from being allocated the same resources. Bug was introduced in 15.08.6.
 -- Don't print the Rgt value of an association from the cache as it isn't
    kept up to date.
 -- burst_buffer/cray - If the pre-run operation fails then don't issue
    duplicate job cancel/requeue unless the job is still in run state. Prevents
    jobs hung in COMPLETING state.
 -- task/cgroup - Fix bug in task binding to CPUs.

* Changes in Slurm 15.08.8
==========================
 -- Backfill scheduling properly synchronized with Cray Node Health Check.
    Prior logic could result in highest priority job getting improperly
    postponed.
 -- Make it so daemons also support TopologyParam=NoInAddrAny.
 -- If scancel is operating on large number of jobs and RPC responses from
    slurmctld daemon are slow then introduce a delay in sending the cancel job
    requests from scancel in order to reduce load on slurmctld.
 -- Remove redundant logic when updating a job's task count.
 -- MySQL - Fix querying jobs with reservations when the id's have rolled.
 -- Perl - Fix use of uninitialized variable in slurm_job_step_get_pids.
 -- Launch batch job requsting --reboot after the boot completes.
 -- Move debug messages like "not the right user" from association manager
    to debug3 when trying to find the correct association.
 -- Fix incorrect logic when querying assoc_mgr information.
 -- Move debug messages to debug3 notifying a gres_bit_alloc was NULL for
    gres types without a file.
 -- Sanity Check Patch to setup variables for RAPL if in a race for it.
 -- GRES - Fix minor typecast issues.
 -- burst_buffer/cray - Increase size of intermediate variable used to store
    buffer byte size read from DW instance from 32 to 64-bits to avoid overflow
    and reporting invalid buffer sizes.
 -- Allow an existing reservation with running jobs to be modified without
    Flags=IGNORE_JOBS.
 -- srun - don't attempt to execve() a directory with a name matching the
    requested command
 -- Do not automatically relocate an advanced reservation for individual cores
    that spans multiple nodes when nodes in that reservation go down (e.g.
    a 1 core reservation on node "tux1" will be moved if node "tux1" goes
    down, but a reservation containing 2 cores on node "tux1" and 3 cores on
    "tux2" will not be moved node "tux1" goes down). Advanced reservations for
    whole nodes will be moved by default for down nodes.
 -- Avoid possible double free of memory (and likely abort) for slurmctld in
    background mode.
 -- contribs/cray/csm/slurmconfgen_smw.py - avoid including repurposed compute
    nodes in configs.
 -- Support AuthInfo in slurmdbd.conf that is different from the value in
    slurm.conf.
 -- Fix build on FreeBSD 10.
 -- Fix hdf5 build on ppc64 by using correct fprintf formatting for types.

 -- Add function to remove assoc_mgr_info_request_t members without freeing
    structure.
 -- Fix build on some non-glibc systems by updating includes.
 -- Add new PowerParameters options of get_timeout and set_timeout. The default
    set_timeout was increased from 5 seconds to 30 seconds. Also re-read current
    power caps periodically or after any failed "set" operation.
 -- Fix slurmdbd segfault when listing users with blank user condition.
 -- Save the ClusterName to a file in SaveStateLocation, and use that to
    verify the state directory belongs to the given cluster at startup to avoid
    corruption from multiple clusters attempting to share a state directory.
 -- MYSQL - Fix issue when rerolling monthly data to work off correct time
    period.  This would only hit you if you rerolled a 15.08 prior to this
    commit.
 -- If FastSchedule=0 is used make sure TRES are set up correctly in accounting.
 -- Fix sreport's truncation of columns with large TRES and not using
    a parsing option.
 -- Make sure count of boards are restored when slurmctld has option -R.
 -- When determine if a job can fit into a TRES time limit after resources
    have been selected set the time limit appropriately if the job didn't
    request one.
 -- Fix inadequate locks when updating a partition's TRES.
 -- Add new assoc_limit_continue flag to SchedulerParameters.
 -- Avoid race in acct_gather_energy_cray if energy requested before available.
 -- MYSQL - Avoid having multiple default accounts when a user is added to
    a new account and making it a default all at once.

* Changes in Slurm 15.08.7
==========================
 -- sched/backfill: If a job can not be started within the configured
    backfill_window, set it's start time to 0 (unknown) rather than the end
    of the backfill_window.
 -- Remove the 1024-character limit on lines in batch scripts.
 -- burst_buffer/cray: Round up swap size by configured granularity.
 -- select/cray: Log repeated aeld reconnects.
 -- task/affinity: Disable core-level task binding if more CPUs required than
    available cores.
 -- Preemption/gang scheduling: If a job is suspended at slurmctld restart or
    reconfiguration time, then leave it suspended rather than resume+suspend.
 -- Don't use lower weight nodes for job allocation when topology/tree used.
 -- BGQ - If a cable goes into error state remove the under lying block on
    a dynamic system and mark the block in error on a static/overlap system.
 -- BGQ - Fix regression in 9cc4ae8add7f where blocks would be deleted on
    static/overlap systems when some hardware issue happens when restarting
    the slurmctld.
 -- Log if CLOUD node configured without a resume/suspend program or suspend
    time.
 -- MYSQL - Better locking around g_qos_count which was previously unprotected.
 -- Correct size of buffer used for jobid2str to avoid truncation.
 -- Fix allocation/distribution of tasks across multiple nodes when
    --hint=nomultithread is requested.
 -- If a reservation's nodes value is "all" then track the current nodes in the
    system, even if those nodes change.
 -- Fix formatting if using "tree" option with sreport.
 -- Make it so sreport prints out a line for non-existent TRES instead of
    error message.
 -- Set job's reason to "Priority" when higher priority job in that partition
    (or reservation) can not start rather than leaving the reason set to
    "Resources".
 -- Fix memory corruption when a new non-generic TRES is added to the
    DBD for the first time.  The corruption is only noticed at shutdown.
 -- burst_buffer/cray - Improve tracking of allocated resources to handle race
    condition when reading state while buffer allocation is in progress.
 -- If a job is submitted only with -c option and numcpus is updated before
    the job starts update the cpus_per_task appropriately.
 -- Update salloc/sbatch/srun documentation to mention time granularity.
 -- Fixed memory leak when freeing assoc_mgr_info_msg_t.
 -- Prevent possible use of empty reservation core bitmap, causing abort.

 -- Make sacctmgr print MaxJobsPerUser when adding/altering a QOS.
 -- Correct dependency formatting to print array task ids if set.
 -- Update sacctmgr help with current QOS options.
 -- Update slurmstepd to initialize authentication before task launch.
 -- burst_cray/cray: Eliminate need for dedicated nodes.
 -- If no MsgAggregationParams is set don't set the internal string to
    anything.  The slurmd will process things correctly after the fact.
 -- Fix output from api when printing job step not found.
 -- Don't allow user specified reservation names to disrupt the normal
    reservation sequeuece numbering scheme.
 -- Fix scontrol to be able to accept TRES as an option when creating
    a reservation.
 -- contrib/torque/qstat.pl - return exit code of zero even with no records
    printed for 'qstat -u'.
 -- When a reservation is created or updated, compress user provided node names
    using hostlist functions (e.g. translate user input of "Nodes=tux1,tux2"
    into "Nodes=tux[1-2]").
 -- Change output routines for scontrol show partition/reservation to handle
    unexpectedly large strings.
 -- Add more partition fields to "scontrol write config" output file.
 -- Backfill scheduling fix: If a job can't be started due to a "group" resource
    limit, rather than reserve resources for it when the next job ends, don't
    reserve any resources for it.
 -- Avoid slurmstepd abort if malloc fails during accounting gather operation.
 -- Fix nodes from being overallocated when allocation straddles multiple nodes.
 -- Fix memory leak in slurmctld job array logic.
 -- Prevent decrementing of TRESRunMins when AccountingStorageEnforce=limits is
    not set.
 -- Fix backfill scheduling bug which could postpone the scheduling of jobs due
    to avoidance of nodes in COMPLETING state.
 -- Properly account for memory, CPUs and GRES when slurmctld is reconfigured
    while there is a suspended job. Previous logic would add the CPUs, but not
    memory or GPUs. This would result in underflow/overflow errors in select
    cons_res plugin.
 -- Strip flags from a job state in qstat wrapper before evaluating.
 -- Add missing job states from the qstat wrapper.
 -- Cleanup output routines to reduce number of fixed-sized buffer function
    calls and allow for unexpectedly large strings.

* Changes in Slurm 15.08.6
==========================
 -- In slurmctld log file, log duplicate job ID found by slurmd. Previously was
    being logged as prolog/epilog failure.
 -- If a job is requeued while in the process of being launch, remove it's
    job ID from slurmd's record of active jobs in order to avoid generating a
    duplicate job ID error when launched for the second time (which would
    drain the node).
 -- Cleanup messages when handling job script and environment variables in
    older directory structure formats.
 -- Prevent triggering gang scheduling within a partition if configured with
    PreemptType=partition_prio and PreemptMode=suspend,gang.
 -- Decrease parallelism in job cancel request to prevent denial of service
    when cancelling huge numbers of jobs.
 -- If all ephemeral ports are in use, try using other port numbers.
 -- Revert way lib lua is handled when doing a dlopen, fixing a regression in
    15.08.5.
 -- Set the debug level of the rmdir message in xcgroup_delete() to debug2.
 -- 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 cosmetic display of AccountingStorageEnforce option "nosteps" when
    in use.
 -- If a job can never be started due to unsatisfied job dependencies, report
    the full original job dependency specification rather than the dependencies
    remaining to be satisfied (typically NULL).
 -- Refactor logic to synchronize active batch jobs and their script/environment
    files, reducing overhead dramatically for large numbers of active jobs.
 -- Avoid hard-link/copy of script/environment files for job arrays. Use the
    master job record file for all tasks of the job array.
    NOTE: Job arrays submitted to Slurm version 15.08.6 or later will fail if
    the slurmctld daemon is downgraded to an earlier version of Slurm.
 -- Move slurmctld mail handler to separate thread for improved performance.
 -- Fix containment of adopted processes from pam_slurm_adopt.
 -- If a pending job array has multiple reasons for being in a pending state,
    then print all reasons in a comma separated list.

* Changes in Slurm 15.08.5
==========================
 -- Prevent "scontrol update job" from updating jobs that have already finished.
 -- Show requested TRES in "squeue -O tres" when job is pending.
 -- Backfill scheduler: Test association and QOS node limits before reserving
    resources for pending job.
 -- burst_buffer/cray: If teardown operations fails, sleep and retry.
 -- Clean up the external pids when using the PrologFlags=Contain feature
    and the job finishes.
 -- burst_buffer/cray: Support file staging when job lacks job-specific buffer
    (i.e. only persistent burst buffers).
 -- Added srun option of --bcast to copy executable file to compute nodes.
 -- Fix for advanced reservation of burst buffer space.
 -- BurstBuffer/cray: Add logic to terminate dw_wlm_cli child processes at
    shutdown.
 -- If job can't be launch or requeued, then terminate it.
 -- BurstBuffer/cray: Enable clearing of burst buffer string on completed job
    as a means of recovering from a failure mode.
 -- Fix wrong memory free when parsing SrunPortRange=0-0 configuration.
 -- BurstBuffer/cray: Fix job record purging if cancelled from pending state.
 -- BGQ - Handle database throw correctly when syncing users on blocks.
 -- MySQL - Make sure we don't have a NULL string returned when not
    requesting any specific association.
 -- sched/backfill: If max_rpc_cnt is configured and the backlog of RPCs has
    not cleared after yielding locks, then continue to sleep.
 -- Preserve the job dependency description displayed in 'scontrol show job'
    even if the dependee jobs was terminated and cleaned causing the
    dependent to never run because of DependencyNeverSatisfied.
 -- Correct job task count calculation if only node count and ntasks-per-node
    options supplied.
 -- Make sure the association manager converts any string to be lower case
    as all the associations from the database will be lower case.
 -- Sanity check for xcgroup_delete() to verify incoming parameter is valid.
 -- Fix formatting for sacct with variables that switched from uint32_t to
    uint64_t.
 -- Fix a typo in sacct man page.

 -- Multifactor - Add sanity check to make sure pending jobs are handled
    correctly when PriorityFlags=CALCULATE_RUNNING is set.
 -- Add slurmdb_find_tres_count_in_string() to slurm db perl api.
 -- Make lua dlopen() conditional on version found at build.
 -- sched/backfill - Delay backfill scheduler for completing jobs only if
    CompleteWait configuration parameter is set (make code match documentation).
 -- Release a job's allocated licenses only after epilog runs on all nodes
    rather than at start of termination process.
 -- Cray job NHC delayed until after burst buffer released and epilog completes
    on all allocated nodes.
 -- Fix abort of srun if using PrologFlags=NoHold
 -- Let devices step_extern cgroup inherit attributes of job cgroup.
 -- Add new hook to Task plugin to be able to put adopted processes in the
    step_extern cgroups.
 -- Fix AllowUsers documentation in burst_buffer.conf man page. Usernames are
    comma separated, not colon delimited.
 -- Fix issue with time limit not being set correctly from a QOS when a job
    requests no time limit.
 -- Various CLANG fixes.
 -- In both sched/basic and backfill: If a job can not be started due to some
    account/qos limit, then don't start other jobs which could delay jobs. The
    old logic would skip the job and start other jobs, which could delay the
    higher priority job.
 -- select/cray: Prevent NHC from running more than once per job or step.
 -- Fix fields not properly printed when adding an account through sacctmgr.

==========================
 -- Fix typo for the "devices" cgroup subsystem in pam_slurm_adopt.c
 -- Fix TRES_MAX flag to work correctly.
 -- Improve the systemd startup files.
 -- Added burst_buffer.conf flag parameter of "TeardownFailure" which will
    teardown and remove a burst buffer after failed stage-in or stage-out.
    By default, the buffer will be preserved for analysis and manual teardown.
 -- Prevent a core dump in srun if the signal handler runs during the job
    allocation causing the step context to be NULL.
 -- Don't fail job if multiple prolog operations in progress at slurmctld
    restart time.

==========================
 -- Correct Slurm's RPM build if Munge is not installed.
 -- Job array termination status email ExitCode based upon highest exit code
    from any task in the job array rather than the last task. Also change the
    state from "Ended" or "Failed" to "Mixed" where appropriate.
 -- Squeue recombines pending job array records only if their name and partition
    are identical.
 -- Fix some minor leaks in the job info and step info API.
 -- Export missing QOS id when filling in association with the association
    manager.
 -- Fix invalid reference if a lua job_submit plugin references a default qos
    when a user doesn't exist in the database.
 -- Use association enforcement in the lua plugin.
 -- Fix a few spots missing defines of accounting_enforce or acct_db_conn
    in the plugins.
 -- Show requested TRES in scontrol show jobs when job is pending.
 -- Improve sched/backfill support for job features, especially XOR construct.
 -- Correct scheduling logic for job features option with XOR construct that
    could delay a job's initiation.
 -- Remove unneeded frees when creating a tres string.
 -- Send a tres_alloc_str for the batch step
 -- Fix incorrect check for slurmdb_find_tres_count_in_string in various places,
    it needed to check for INFINITE64 instead of zero.
 -- Don't allow scontrol to create partitions with the name "DEFAULT".
 -- burst_buffer/cray: Change error from "invalid request" to "permssion denied"
    if a non-authorized user tries to create/destroy a persistent buffer.
 -- PrologFlags work: Setting a flag of "Contain" implicitly sets the "Alloc"
    flag. Fix code path which could prevent execution of the Prolog when the
    "Alloc" or "Contain" flag were set.
 -- Fix for acct_gather_energy/cray|ibmaem to work with missed enum.
 -- MYSQL - When inserting a job and begin_time is 0 do not set it to
    submit_time.  0 means the job isn't eligible yet so we need to treat it so.
 -- MYSQL - Don't display ineligible jobs when querying for a window of time.
 -- Fix creation of advanced reservation of cores on nodes which are DOWN.
 -- Return permission denied if regular user tries to release job held by an
    administrator.
 -- MYSQL - Fix rollups for multiple jobs running by the same association
    in an hour counting multiple times.

    pre-increment.

* Changes in Slurm 15.08.2
==========================
 -- 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.
 -- Correct some cgroup paths ("step_batch" vs. "step_4294967294", "step_exter"
    vs. "step_extern", and "step_extern" vs. "step_4294967295").
 -- Fix advanced reservation core selection logic with network topology.
 -- MYSQL - Remove restriction to have to be at least an operator to query TRES
    values.
 -- 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, preventing use of the
    node.
 -- Don't requeue RPC going out from slurmctld to DOWN nodes (can generate
    repeating communication errors).
 -- Propagate sbatch "--dist=plane=#" option to srun.
 -- Add acct_gather_energy/ibmaem plugin for systems with IBM Systems Director
    Active Energy Manager.

 -- Do not send burst buffer stage out email unless the job uses burst buffers.
 -- 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.
 -- sacctmgr - Don't allow default account associations to be removed
    from a user.
 -- Fix sacct -j, (nothing but a comma) to not return all jobs.
 -- Fixed slurmctld not sending cold-start messages correctly to the database
    when a cold-start (-c) happens to the slurmctld.
 -- Fix case where if the backup slurmdbd has existing connections when it gives
    up control that the it would be killed.
 -- Fix task/cgroup affinity to work correctly with multi-socket
    single-threaded cores.  A regression caused only 1 socket to be used on
    this kind of node instead of all that were available.
 -- MYSQL - Fix minor issue after an index was added to the database it would
    previously take 2 restarts of the slurmdbd to make it stick correctly.
 -- Add hv_to_qos_cond() and qos_rec_to_hv() functions to the Perl interface.
 -- Add new burst_buffer.conf parameters: ValidateTimeout and OtherTimeout.
    See man page for details.
 -- Fix burst_buffer/cray support for interactive allocations >4GB.
