========================
 -- BLUEGENE - fixed issue with doing an allocation for nodes since asking 
    for 32,128, or 512 all mean 1 to the controller. 
 -- Add "Include" directive to slurm.conf files.  If "Include" is found
    at the beginning of a line followed by whitespace and then

    ...partitions_info which has made a much better design improving stability.

    jobs. Improves scalability of PMI.

    display slurmd as place where it is running.  
 -- Patch from HP for init nodes before init_bitmaps

    responding.

    of it's allocated nodes.
 -- Change in support for test suite: 'testsuite/expect/globals.example'
    is now 'testsuite/expect/globals' and you can override variable 
    settings with a new file 'testsuite/expect/globals.local'.
 -- Job suspend now sends SIGTSTP, sleep(1), sends SIGSTOP for better
    MPI support.

 -- Change time format in job completion logging (JobCompType=jobcomp/filetxt)
    from "MM/DD HH:MM:SS" to "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS", conforming with the ISO8601

=============================
 -- Added logic to "stat" a running job with sacct option -S use -j to specify

    to spawned tasks (based upon work by Daniel Christians, HP).

* Changes in SLURM 1.1.0-pre3
=============================
 -- Added framework for XCPU job launch support.

    Allows long lines to be continued on the next line by ending with a "\".
    Whitespace is allowed between the key and "=", and between the "=" and
    value.

             If you want to temporarily make nodes DOWN in the slurm.conf,
             use the new DownNodes keyword (see "man slurm.conf").

    batch job.

 -- InactiveLimit parameter is not enforced for RootOnly partitions.
 -- Update select/cons_res web page (Susanne Balle, HP, 
    cons_res_doc_patch_3_29_06).
 -- Build a "slurmd.test" along with slurmd. slurmd.test has the path to 
    slurmstepd set allowing it to run unmodified out of the builddir for 
    testing (Mark Grondona).
 
* Changes in SLURM 1.1.0-pre2
=============================
 -- Added "bcast" command to transmit copies of a file to compute nodes

    This logic is through display tools such as smap, sinfo, scontrol, and 
    squeue.

 -- Added support for memory affinity, see srun --mem_bind option.
 
* Changes in SLURM 1.1.0-pre1
=============================
 -- New --enable-multiple-slurmd configure parameter to allow running
    more than one copy of slurmd on a node at the same time.  Only
    really useful for developers.
 -- New communication is now branched on all processes to slurmd's from 
    slurmctld and srun launch command.  This is done with a tree type 
    algorithm.  Spawn and batch mode work the same as before.  New slurm.conf
    variable TreeWidth=50 is default.  This is the number of threads per 
    stop on the tree.  
 -- Configuration parameter HeartBeatInterval is depracated. Now used half
    of SlurmdTimeout and SlurmctldTimeout for communications to slurmd and
    slurmctld daemons repsectively.
 -- Add hash tables for select/cons_res plugin (Susanne Balle, HP, 
    patch_02222006).

    new flag "test_only" in select_g_job_test() instead.

* Changes in SLURM 1.0.17
=========================
 -- Set correct user groups for task epilogs.
 -- Add more debugging for tracking slow slurmd job initiations
    (slurm.hp.replaydebug.patch).

* 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.

 -- 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,

    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.

=============================
 -- 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

    Jackson, Cluster Resources)
 -- Fix bug in handling job request with maximum node count.
 -- Fix node selection scheduling bug with heterogeneous nodes and
    srun --cpus-per-task option

* Changes in SLURM 0.6.0-pre5
=============================
 -- Modify sfree (BGL command) so that --all option no longer requires
    an argument.
 -- Modify smap so it shows all nodes and partitions by default (even 
    nodes that the user can't access, otherwise there are holes in 
    its maps).

    future use.

    nodes, but lightly loaded nodes otherwise.
 -- Add job step name field.
 -- Add job step network specification field.
 -- Add proctrack/rms plugin

    request RPC.
 -- Fix mpich-gm bugs, thanks to Takao Hatazaki (HP).
 -- Fix code for clean build with gcc 2.96, Takao Hatazaki (HP).
 -- Add node update state of "RESUME" to return DRAINED, DRAINING, or 
    DOWN node to service (IDLE or ALLOCATED state).
 -- smap keeps trying to connect to slurmctld in iterative mode rather 
    than just aborting on failure.
 -- Add squeue option --node to filter by node name.
 -- Modify squeue --user option to accept not only user names, but also
    user IDs.
