 -- Fix possible memory corruption if a job is using GRES and changing size.
 -- jobcomp/elasticsearch - fix printf format for a value on 32-bit builds.
 -- task/cgroup - Change error message if CPU binding can not take place to
    better identify the root cause of the problem.
 -- Fix issue where task/cgroup would not always honor --cpu_bind=threads.
 -- Fix race condition in with getgrouplist() in slurmd that can lead to
    user accounts being granted access to incorrect group memberships during
    job launch.

* Changes in Slurm 16.05.6
==========================
 -- Docs - the correct default value for GroupUpdateForce is 0.
 -- mpi/pmix - improve point to point communication performance.
 -- SlurmDB - include pending jobs in search during 'sacctmgr show runawayjobs'.
 -- Add client side out-of-range checks to --nice flag.
 -- Fix support for sbatch "-W" option, previously eeded to use "--wait".
 -- node_features/knl_cray plugin and capmc_suspend/resume programs modified to
    sleep and retry capmc operations if the Cray State Manager is down. Added
    CapmcRetries configuration parameter to knl_cray.conf.
 -- node_features/knl_cray plugin: Remove any KNL MCDRAM or NUMA features from
    node's configuration if capmc does NOT report the node as being KNL.
 -- node_features/knl_cray plugin: drain any node not reported by
    "capmc node_status" on startup or reconfig.
 -- node_features/knl_cray plugin: Substantially streamline and speed up logic
    to load current node state on reconfigure failure or unexpected node boot.
 -- node_features/knl_cray plugin: Add separate thread to interact with capmc
    in response to unexpected node reboots.
 -- node_features plugin - Add "mode" argument to node_features_p_node_xlate()
    function to fix some bugs updating a node's features using the node update
    RPC.
 -- node_features/knl_cray plugin: If the reconfiguration of nodes for an
    interactive job fails, kill the job (it can't be requeued like a batch job).
 -- Testsuite - Added srun/salloc/sbatch tests with --use-min-nodes option.
 -- Fix typo when an error occurs when discovering pmix version on
    configure.
 -- Fix configuring pmix support when you have your lib dir symlinked to lib64.
 -- Fix waiting reason if a job is waiting for a specific limit instead of
    always just AccountingPolicy.
 -- Correct SchedulerParameters=bf_busy_nodes logic with respect to the job's
    minimum node count. Previous logic would not decremement counter in some
    locations and reject valid job request for not reaching minimum node count.
 -- Fix FreeBSD-11 build by using llabs() function in place of abs().
 -- Cray: The slurmd can manipulate the socket/core/thread values reported based
    upon the configuration. The logic failed to consider select/cray with
    SelectTypeParameters=other_cons_res as equivalent to select/cons_res.
 -- If a node's socket or core count are changed at registration time (e.g. a
    KNL node's NUMA mode is changed), change it's board count to match.
 -- Prevent possible divide by zero in select/cons_res if a node's board count
    is higher than it's socket count.

 -- Correct a bitmap test function (used only by the select/bluegene plugin).
 -- Do not propagate SLURM_UMASK environment variable to batch script.
 -- Added node_features/knl_generic plugin for KNL support on non-Cray systems.
 -- Cray: Prevent abort in backfill scheduling logic for requeued job that has
    been cancelled while NHC is running.
 -- Improve reported estimates of start and end times for pending jobs.
 -- pbsnodes: Show OS value as "unknown" for down nodes.
 -- BlueGene - correctly scale node counts when enforcing MaxNodes limit take 2.

 -- Cray - print warning that task/cgroup is required, and must be after
    task/cray in the TaskPlugin settings.
 -- Document that node Weight takes precedence over load with LLN scheduling.
 -- Fix issue where gang scheduling could happen even with OverSubscribe=NO.
 -- Expose JOB_SHARED_* values to job_submit/lua plugin.

    requested with -n tasks < hosts from -w hostlist.
 -- Update srun documentation for -N, -w and -m arbitrary.
 -- Fix bug that was clearing MAINT mode on nodes scheduled for reboot (bug
    introduced in version 16.05.5 to address bug in overlapping reservations).
 -- Add logging of node reboot requests.
 -- Docs - remove recommendation for ReleaseAgent setting in cgroup.conf.
 -- Make sure a job cleans up completely if it has a node fail.  Mostly an
    issue with gang scheduling.

    with a lower task count for the step.
 -- Docs - assorted spelling fixes.
 -- node_features/knl_cray: Fix bug where MCDRAM state could be taken from

    SLURM_JOB_ID environment variable.
 -- Allow a node's PowerUp state flag to be cleared using update_node RPC.
 -- capmc_suspend/resume - If a request modify NUMA or MCDRAM state on a set of
    nodes or reboot a set of nodes fails then just requeue the job and abort the
    entire operation rather than trying to operate on individual nodes.
 -- node_features/knl_cray plugin: Increase default CapmcTimeout parameter from
    10 to 60 seconds.
 -- Fix squeue filter by job license when a job has requested more than 1
    license of a certain type.
 -- Fix bug in PMIX_Ring in the pmi2 plugin so that it supports singleton mode.
    It also updates the testpmixring.c test program so it can be used to check

    cleaned (Node Health Check completes for all steps on a Cray).
 -- KNL: Correct task affinity logic for some NUMA modes.
 -- Add salloc/sbatch/srun --priority option of "TOP" to set job priority to
    the highest possible value. This option is only available to Slurm operators
    and administrators.
 -- Add salloc/sbatch/srun option --use-min-nodes to prefer smaller node counts
    when a range of node counts is specified (e.g. "-N 2-4").
 -- Validate salloc/sbatch --wait-all-nodes argument.
 -- Add "sbatch_wait_nodes" to SchedulerParameters to control default sbatch
    behaviour with respect to waiting for all allocated nodes to be ready for
    use. Job can override the configuration option using the --wait-all-nodes=#
    option.
 -- Prevent partition group access updates from resetting last_part_update when
    no changes have been made. Prevents backfill scheduler from restarting
    mid-cycle unnecessarily.
 -- Cray - add NHC_ABSOLUTELY_NO to never run NHC, even on certain edge cases
    that it would otherwise be run on with NHC_NO.
 -- Ignore GRES/QOS updates that maintain the same value as before.

    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.

    or failed based on the signal that would always be killing it.
 -- Fix to allow users to update QOS of pending jobs.
 -- CRAY - Fix minor memory leak in switch plugin.
 -- CRAY - Change slurmconfgen_smw.py to skip over disabled nodes.
 -- Fix eligible_time for elasticsearch as well as add queue_wait
    (difference between start of job and when it was eligible).


* 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.

 -- 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.

    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.

    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

    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.

* 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.

 -- 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.
 -- burst_buffer/cray - Plug small memory leak on DataWarp create_persistent
    buffer error.
 -- burst_buffer/cray - Do not purge a job record if it's stage-out operation
    fails. The description of the failure will be in the job's "Reason" field.
 -- burst_buffer/cray - Append information about errors to job's AdminComments
    field.
 -- DBD - When using LogTimeFormat=thread_id fill in the cluster name before
    printing anything for a connection.
 -- Have srun read in modern env var's instead of obsolete ones
 -- mpi/pmix: add the thresholds for the parameters of micro-benchmarks.

* 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.

    can work on a BGAS node.
 -- Prevent job stuck in configuring state if slurmctld daemon restarted while
    PrologSlurmctld is running.

    reconfiguration.
 -- Ignore warnings about depricated functions. This is primarily there for
    new glibc 2.24+ that depricates readdir_r.
 -- Fix security issue caused by insecure file path handling triggered by the
    failure of a Prolog script. To exploit this a user needs to anticipate or
    cause the Prolog to fail for their job. CVE-2016-10030.

* Changes in Slurm 15.08.12
===========================
 -- Do not attempt to power down a node which has never responded if the

 -- MySQL - Fix for possible race condition when archiving multiple clusters
    at the same time.

 -- 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.
 -- Prevent wrong error message from spank plugin stack on GLOB_NOSPACE error.
 -- Fix proctrack/lua plugin to prevent possible deadlock.
 -- Prevent infinite loop in slurmstepd if execve fails.
 -- Prevent multiple responses to REQUEST_UPDATE_JOB_STEP message.
 -- Prevent possible deadlock in acct_gather_filesystem/lustre on error.

 -- 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.

 -- Fix potential gres underflow on restart of slurmctld.
 -- Fix sacctmgr to remove a user who has no associations.

* 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 potential divide by zero when tree_width=1.
 -- checkpoint/blcr plugin: Fix memory leak.
 -- If using PrologFlags=contain: Don't launch the extern step if a job is
    cancelled while launching.
 -- Remove duplicates from AccountingStorageTRES

 -- 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.

    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.

    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.

 -- 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.
 -- Fix cosmetic printing of NO_VALs in scontrol show assoc_mgr.

 -- Add function to remove assoc_mgr_info_request_t members without freeing
    structure.
 -- Fix build on some non-glibc systems by updating includes.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    static/overlap systems when some hardware issue happens when restarting
    the slurmctld.

    (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

    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
