-- When running the mysql plugin natively MUNGE errors are now eliminated
when sending updates to slurmctlds.
-- Check to make sure we have a default account before looking to
fill in default association.
-- Accounting - Slurmctld and slurmdbd will now set uids of users which were
created after the start of the daemons on reconfig. Slurmdbd will
attempt to set previously non-existant uids every hour.

-- Added -R option to slurmctld to recover partition state also when
restarting or reconfiguring.
* Changes in SLURM 2.1.0-pre6
=============================
-- When getting information about nodes in hidden partitions, return a node
name of NULL rather than returning no information about the node so that
node index information is still valid.
-- When querying database for jobs in certain state and a time period is

given only jobs in that state during the period will be returned,
previously if a time period was given in sacct jobs eligible to run or
running would be displayed, which is still the default if no states are
requested.
-- One can now query jobs based on size (nodes and or cpus) (mysql plugin only)
Don Lipari
committed
-- Applied patch from Mark Grondona that tests for a missing config file before
any other processing in spank_init(). This now prevents fatal errors from
being mistakenly treated as recoverable.
-- --enable-debug no longer has to be stated at configure time to have
the slurmctld or slurmstepd dump core on a seg fault.
-- Moved the errant slurm_job_node_ready() declaration from job_info.h to
slurm.h and deleted job_info.h.

* Changes in SLURM 2.1.0-pre5
=============================
-- Add squeue option "--start" to report expected start time of pending jobs.
-- Sched/backfill plugin modified to set expected start time of pending jobs.
-- Add SchedulerParameters option of "max_job_bf=#" to control how far down
the queue of pending jobs that SLURM searches in an attempt backfill
schedule them. The default value is 50 jobs.
-- Fixed cause of squeue -o "%C" seg fault.
-- Add -"-signal=<int>@<time>" option to salloc, sbatch and srun commands to
notify programs before reaching the end of their time limit.
-- Add scontrol option to update a running job's EndTime (also resets the
job's time limit).
-- Add new job wait reason, ReqNodeNotAvail: Required node is not available
(down or drained).
-- Log when slurmctld or slurmd are started with small core file limit.
-- Permit job's owner to change features, processor count, minimum and
maximun node counts of pending jobs (the operation was previously
restricted to user root)
-- Applied patch from Chuck Clouston for scontrol man page with clarifications
and additional info
-- Change slurm errno name from ESLURM_TOO_MANY_REQUESTED_NODES to
ESLURM_INVALID_NODE_COUNT to better reflect its meaning.
-- Fix bug in sched/backfill which could result in invalid memory reference
when trying to schedule jobs submitted with --exclude option.
-- Fix for slurmctld deadlock at startup with PreemptMode=SUSPEND,GANG.
-- Completely disable logging of sched/wiki and sched/wiki2 (Maui & Moab)
message traffic unless DebugFlag=Wiki is configured.
-- Change scontrol show job info: ReqProcs (number of processors requested)
is replaced by NumProcs (number of processors requested or actually
allocated) and ReqNodes (number of nodes requested) is replaced by
NumNodes (number of nodes requested or actually allocated).
Danny Auble
committed
-- Fixed issue when max nodes wasn't specified and was later set by limit
to not request that as the actual maximum.
-- Move job preemption (for requeue, checkpoint and kill modes only) out of
gang scheduling module. Make identification of preemptable jobs an argument
to the select_g_job_test function rather than calling preempt plugin from
the select plugin. Make output of srun --test-only option include a list
of preempted job IDs.
-- Better record keeping for front end systems when registering.
-- Enable memory allocation logic for jobs step (i.e. allocate resources
within the job's memory allocation and enforce limits).
-- sview and "scontrol show config" now report as SLURM_VERSION the version
of slurmctld rather than that of the command.
-- Change SuspendTime configuration parameter from 16-bits to 32-bits.
-- Add environment variable support to sattach, salloc, sbatch and srun
to permit user control over exit codes so application exit codes can be
distiguished from those generated by SLURM. SLURM_EXIT_ERROR specifies the
exit code when a SLURM error occurs. SLURM_EXIT_IMMEDIATE specifies the
exit code when the --immediate option is specified and resources are not
available. Any other non-zero exit code would be that of the application
run by SLURM.
-- Added a Quality of Service (QOS) html page.
-- In sched/wiki2, JOBWILLRUN command, add support for identification of
preemptable and preempted jobs (both new and old format of commands are
supported).
-- Remove contribs/python/hostlist files. Download the materials as needed
directly from http://www.nsc.liu.se/~kent/python-hostlist.
-- BLUEGENE - Preemption now works on bluegene systems
-- For salloc, sbatch and srun commands, ignore _maximum_ values for
--sockets-per-node, --cores-per-socket and --threads-per-core options.
Remove --mincores, --minsockets, --minthreads options (map them to
minimum values of -sockets-per-node, --cores-per-socket and
--threads-per-core for now).

* Changes in SLURM 2.1.0-pre4
=============================
-- Move processing of node configuration information in slurm.conf and
topology information in topology.conf from slurmctld into common and load
that information into slurmd. Use it to set environment variables for jobs
SLURM_TOPOLOGY_ADDR and SLURM_TOPOLOGY_ADDR_PATTERN describing the network
topology for each task. Based upon patch from Mattheu Hautreux (CEA).
-- Correction in computing a job's TotalProcs value when ThreadsPerCore>1 and
allocating by cores or sockets.
Moe Jette
committed
* Changes in SLURM 2.1.0-pre3
=============================
-- Removed sched/gang plugin and moved the logic directly into the slurmctld
daemon so that job preemption and gang scheduling can be used with the
sched/backfill plugin. Added configuration parameter:
PreemptMode=gang|off|suspend|cancel|requeue|checkpoint
to enable/disable gang scheduling and job preemption logic (both are
disabled by default).
(NOTE: There are some problems with memory management which could prevent a
job from starting when memory would be freed by a job being requeued or
otherwise removed, these are being worked on)
-- Added PreemptType configuration parameter to identify preemptable jobs.
Former users of SchedType=sched/gang should set SchedType=sched/backfill,
PreemptType=preempt/partition_prio and PreemptMode=gang,suspend. See
web and slurm.conf man page for other options.
Moe Jette
committed
PreemptType=preempt/qos uses Quality Of Service information in database.
-- In select/linear, optimize job placement across partitions.
-- If the --partition option is used with the sinfo or squeue command then
print information about even hidden partitions.
-- Replaced misc cpu allocation members in job_info_t with select_job_res_t
which will only be populated when requested (show_flags & SHOW_DETAIL)
-- Added a --detail option to "scontrol show job" to display the cpu/mem
allocation info on a node-by-node basis.
Danny Auble
committed
-- Added logic to give correct request uid for individual steps that
were cancelled.
-- Created a spank_get_item() option (S_JOB_ALLOC_MEM) that conveys the memory
that the select/cons_res plugin has allocated to a job.
-- BLUEGENE - blocks in error state are now handled correctly in accounting.
-- Modify squeue to print job step information about a specific job ID using
the following syntax: "squeue -j <job_id> -s".
-- BLUEGENE - scontrol delete block and update block can now remove blocks
on dynamic laid out systems.
-- BLUEGENE - Vastly improve Dynamic layout mode algorithm.
-- Address some issues for SLURM support of Solaris.
Danny Auble
committed
-- Applied patch from Doug Parisek (Doug.Parisek@bull.com) for speeding up
start of sview by delaying to creation of tooltips until requested.
-- Changed GtkToolTips to GtkToolTip for newer versions of GTK.
-- Applied patch from Rod Schultz (Rod.Schultz@Bull.com) that eliminates
ambiguity in the documentation over use of the terms "CPU" and "socket".
-- Modified get_resource_arg_range() to return full min/max values when input
string is null. This fixes the srun -B option to function as documented.
-- If the job, node, partition, reservation or trigger state file is missing
or too small, automatically try using the previously saved state (file
name with ".old" suffix).
-- Set a node's power_up/configuring state flag while PrologSlurmctld is
running for a job allocated to that node.
-- If PrologSlurmctld has a non-zero exit code, requeue the job or kill it.
-- Added sacct ability to use --format NAME%LENGTH similar to sacctmgr.
-- Improve hostlist logic for multidimensional systems.
-- The pam_slurm Pluggable Authentication Module for SLURM previously
distributed separately has been moved within the main SLURM distribution
and is packaged as a separate RPM.
-- Added configuration parameter MaxTasksPerNode.
-- Remove configuration parameter SrunIOTimeout.
-- Added functionality for sacctmgr show problems. Current problems include
Accounts/Users with no associations, Accounts with no users or subaccounts
attached in a cluster, and Users with No UID on the system.
-- Added new option for sacctmgr list assoc and list cluster WOLimits. This
gives a smaller default format without the limit information. This may
be the new default for list assocations and list clusters.
-- Users are now required to have an association with there default account.
Sacctmgr will now complain when you try to modify a users default account
which they are not associated anywhere.
-- Fix select/linear bug resulting in run_job_cnt underflow message if a
suspended job is cancelled.
-- Add test for fsync() error for state save files. Log and retry as needed.
-- Log fatal errors from slurmd and slurmctld to syslog.
-- Added error detection and cleanup for the case in which a compute node is
rebooted and restarts its slurmd before its "down" state is noticed.

-- Add reservation flag of "OVERLAP" to permit a new reservation to use
nodes already in another reservation.
-- Fix so "scontrol update jobid=# nice=0" can clear previous nice value.
-- BLUEGENE - env vars such as SLURM_NNODES, SLURM_JOB_NUM_NODES, and
SLURM_JOB_CPUS_PER_NODE now reference cnode counts instead of midplane
counts. SLURM_NODELIST still references midplane names.
-- Added qos support to salloc/sbatch/srun/squeue
-- Added to scancel the ability to select jobs by account and qos
-- Recycled the "-A" argument indicate "account" for all the commands that
accept the --account argument (srun -A to allocate is no longer supported.)
-- Change sbatch response from "sbatch: Submitted batch job #" written to
stderr to "Submitted batch job #" written to stdout.
-- Made shutdown and cleanup a little safer for the mvapich and mpich1_p4
plugins.
-- QOS support added with limits, priority and preemption
(no documentation yet).
-- If a slurmd does not have a node listed in it's slurm.conf (slurm.conf's
should be kept the same on all nodes) an error message is printed in the
slurmctld log along with the message already being printed in the slurmd
log for easier debugging.
* Changes in SLURM 2.1.0-pre2
=============================
-- Added support for smap to query off node name for display.
-- Slurmdbd modified to set user ID and group ID to SlurmUser if started as
user root.
-- Configuration parameter ControlMachine changed to accept multiple comma-
separated hostnames for support of some high-availability architectures.
Danny Auble
committed
-- ALTERED API CALL slurm_get_job_steps 0 has been changed to NO_VAL for both
job and step id to recieve all jobs/steps. Please make adjustments to
your code.
-- salloc's --wait=<secs> option deprecated by --immediate=<secs> option to
match the srun command.

scheduling logic.
Moe Jette
committed

(AND) or "|" (OR) separators between the feature names.
-- Changed internal node name caching so that front-end mode would work with
multiple lines of node name definitions.
-- Add node state flag for power-up/configuring. Represented by "#" suffix
on the node state name (e.g. "ALLOCATED#") for command output.
-- Add CONFIGURING/CF job state flag for node power-up/configuring.
-- Modify job step cancel logic for scancel and srun (on reciept of SIGTERM
or three SIGINT) to immediately send SIGKILL to spawned tasks. Previous
logic would send SIGCONT, SIGTERM, wait KillWait seconds, SIGKILL.
-- Created a spank_get_item() option (S_JOB_ALLOC_CORES) that conveys the cpus
that the select/cons_res plugin has allocated to a job.
-- Improve sview performance (outrageously) on very large machines.
-- Add support for licenses in resource reservation.
-- BLUEGENE - Jobs waiting for a block to boot will now be in Configuring
state.
-- bit_fmt now does not return brackets surrounding any set of data.
* Changes in SLURM 2.1.0-pre1
=============================
-- Slurmd notifies slurmctld of node boot time to better clean up after node
reboots.
-- Slurmd sends node registration information repeatedly until successful
transmit.
-- Change job_state in job structure to dedicate 8-bits to state flags.
Added macros to get state information (IS_JOB_RUNNING(job_ptr), etc.)
-- Added macros to get node state information (IS_NODE_DOWN(node_ptr), etc).
-- Added support for Solaris. Patch from David Hoppner.
-- Rename "slurm-aix-federation-<version>.rpm" to just
"slurm-aix-<version>.rpm" (federation switch plugin may not be present).
Moe Jette
committed
-- Eliminated the redundant squeue output format and sort options of
"%o" and "%b". Use "%D" and "%S" formats respectively. Also eliminated
Moe Jette
committed
"%X" and "%Y" and "%Z" formats. Use "%z" instead.
-- Added mechanism for SPANK plugins to set environment variables for
Prolog, Epilog, PrologSLurmctld and EpilogSlurmctld programs using
the functions spank_get_job_env, spank_set_job_env, and
spank_unset_job_env. See "man spank" for more information.
-- Completed the work to begun in 2.0.0 to standardize on using '-Q' as the
--quiet flag for all the commands.
Danny Auble
committed
-- BLUEGENE - sinfo and sview now display correct cpu counts for partitions
-- Cleaned up the cons_res plugin. It now uses a ptr to a part_record
instead of having to do strcmp's to find the correct one.
-- Pushed most all the plugin specific info in src/common/node_select.c
into the respected plugin.
-- BLUEGENE - closed some corner cases where a block could had been removed
while a job was waiting for it to become ready because an underlying
part of the block was put into an error state.
-- Modify sbcast logic to prevent a user from moving files to nodes they
have not been allocated (this would be possible in previous versions
only by hacking the sbcast code).
-- Add contribs/sjstat script (Perl tool to report job state information).
Put into new RPM: sjstat.
-- Add sched/wiki2 (Moab) JOBMODIFY command support for VARIABLELIST option
to set supplemental environment variables for pending batch jobs.
-- BLUEGENE - add support for scontrol show blocks.
-- Added support for job step time limits.
* Changes in SLURM 2.0.10
=========================
* Changes in SLURM 2.0.9
========================
-- When running the mysql plugin natively MUNGE errors are now eliminated
when sending updates to slurmctlds.
-- Check to make sure we have a default account before looking to
fill in default association.
-- Fix to make it so sched/wiki2 can modify a job's partition or hostlist of
non-pending jobs.
-- Applied slurmctld prolog bug fix from Dennis Leepow to backfill.c
-- fixed quite a few typos (needed for debian packages)
-- make it so slurmctld will core dump without --enable-debug set
-- Fix issue when doing a rollup on reservations before a cluster has been
added.
-- MySQL plugin - When doing archiving end time is now decreased by 1
which should be more correct.
-- BLUEGENE - Fixed issue where --no-rotate didn't work correctly on job
submissions.
-- BLUEGENE - made the buffer longer when submitting jobs to get the entire
line. Previously the line could be shortened prematurely.
-- BLUEGENE - Fix to make sure we don't erroneously set a connection type
to SMALL.
-- Type cast a negative uint64_t to int64_t to avoid confusion when doing
arithmetic with it in accounting dealing with over commit time.
* Changes in SLURM 2.0.8
========================
-- BLUEGENE - added dub2 of stderr to put error messages sent from underlying
libraries of the bridge api to the bridgeapi.log
-- Fixed issue with sacctmgr when modifing a user and specifying 'where'
after giving the user name also.
-- -L, --allclusters now works with sacct
-- Modified job table to use 32bit u/gids for those with ids greater
than 16 bits.
-- Made minor changes for slurm to compile cleanly under gcc 4.4.1
-- Fixed issue with task/affinity when an allocation would run multiple sruns
with the --exclusive flag in an allocation with more than 1 node.
Previously when the first node was filled up no tasks would ever run
on the other nodes.
-- Fixed sview and sacct to display correct run time and suspend time when
job has been suspended.
-- Applied patch from Mark Grondona that fixes the validation of the
PluginDir to support the colon separated list of directories as documented.
-- BLUEGENE - squeue -o %R now prints more readable info for small blocks
-- sacct - fixed garbage being printed out on uninitialized variable.
-- Fix for mysql plugin when used without slurmdbd to register the
slurmctld properly.
-- Fix for mysql plugin putting correct hostnames in for running steps.
* Changes in SLURM 2.0.7
========================
-- Fix bug in select/cons_res when nodes are configured in more than one
partition and those partitions have different priorities and sched/gang
is not configured. CPUs were previously over-allocated.
-- Fix core of smap when specifying -i option with invalid argument.
-- Fix issue when using srun --test-only to not put an entry of test
job into accounting.
-- For OpenMPI use of SLURM reserved ports. If any of the tasks fails to
acquire a reserved port and has an exit code of 108 then srun will
kill all remaining tasks and respawn the tasks. Previous code waited
for tasks to exit.
-- MySQL plugin - When doing archiving we now get a correct end time.
Previously it would grab an extra day to archive.
-- BLUEGENE - Handle initial state correctly, previously was setting initial
state to IDLE if UNKNOWN which would make it not set a registration
message to accounting, which could lead to nodes not being listed as up
when they really were.
-- Fixed buffer size issue with scontrol show hostlist.
-- Fixed issue with copy in smap -Dc previously command wouldn't work.
-- BLUEGENE - Update documentation about small blocks in the bluegene.conf
file.
-- In sched/wiki plugin (for Maui) fix possible message truncation on very
large cluster.
-- BLUEGENE - Fix for handling undocumented Deallocating to Configuring to
Free block transition state.
-- BLUEGENE - Fix for overlap mode loading blocks when midplane is in an
error state.
-- Add range check for SuspendTime configuration parameter.
-- Moved unzipped python-hostname tarball out and the tarball in.
-- BLUEGENE - Patched memory leak when running state test.
-- BLUEGENE - fixed slow down generated by slow call rm_get_BG
and polling thread.
* Changes in SLURM 2.0.6
========================
-- Fixed seg fault when "scontrol listpids" is invoked for a specific job step
on a node on which a stepd is not running.
-- Fix bug in sched/backfill which could result in invalid memory reference
when trying to schedule jobs submitted with --exclude option.
* Changes in SLURM 2.0.5
========================
-- BLUEGENE - Added support for emulating systems with a X-dimension of 4.
-- BLUEGENE - When a nodecard goes down on a non-Dynamic system SLURM will
now only drain blocks under 1 midplane, if no such block exists then SLURM
will drain the entire midplane and not mark any block in error state.
Previously SLURM would drain every overlapping block of the nodecard
making it possible for a large block to make other blocks not work since
they overlap some other part of the block that really isn't bad.
-- BLUEGENE - Handle L3 errors on boot better.
-- Don't revoke a pending batch launch request from the slurmctld if the
job is immediately suspended (a normal event with gang scheduling).
-- BLUEGENE - Fixed issue with restart of slurmctld would allow error block
nodes to be considered for building new blocks when testing if a job would
run. This is a visual bug only, jobs would never run on new block, but
the block would appear in slurm tools.
-- Better responsiveness when starting new allocations when running with the
slurmdbd.
-- Fixed race condition when reconfiguring the slurmctld and using the
consumable resources plugin which would cause the controller to core.
David J. Bremer
committed
-- Fixed race condition that sometimes caused jobs to stay in completing
state longer than necessary after being terminated.
-- Fixed issue where if a parent account has a qos added and then a child
account has the qos removed the users still get the qos.
-- BLUEGENE - New blocks in dynamic mode will only be made in the system
when the block is actually needed for a job, not when testing.
-- BLUEGENE - Don't remove larger block used for small block until job starts.
-- Add new squeue output format and sort option of "%L" to print a job's time
left (time limit minus time used).
-- BLUEGENE - Fixed draining state count for sinfo/sview.
-- Fix for sview to not core when viewing nodes allocated to a partition
and the all jobs finish.
-- Fix cons_res to not core dump when finishing a job running on a
defunct partition.
-- Don't require a node to have --ntasks-per-node CPUs for use when the
--overcommit option is also used.
-- Increase the maximum number of tasks which can be launched by a job step
per node from 64 to 128.
-- sview - make right click on popup window title show sorted list.
-- scontrol now displays correct units for job min memory and min tmp disk.
-- better support for salloc/sbatch arbitrary layout for setting correct
SLURM_TASKS_PER_NODE
-- Env var SLURM_CPUS_ON_NODE is now set correctly depending on the
FastSchedule configuration parameter.
-- Correction to topology/3d_torus plugin calculation when coordinate value
exceeds "9" (i.e. a hex value).
-- In sched/wiki2 - Strip single and double quotes out of a node's reason
string to avoid confusing Moab's parser.
-- Modified scancel to cancel any pending jobs before cancelling any other
-- Updated sview config info
-- Fix a couple of bugs with respect to scheduling with overlapping
reservations (one with a flag of "Maintenance").
-- Fix bug when updating a pending job's nice value after explicitly setting
it's priority.
-- We no longer add blank QOS'
-- Fix task affinity for systems running fastschedule!=0 and they have less
resources configured than in existence.
-- Slurm.pm loads without warning now on AIX systems
-- modified pmi code to do strncpy's on the correct len
-- Fix for filling in a qos structure to return SLURM_SUCCESS on success.
-- BLUEGENE - Added SLURM_BG_NUM_NODES with cnode count of allocation,
SLURM_JOB_NUM_NODES represents midplane counts until 2.1.
-- BLUEGENE - Added fix for if a block is in error state and the midplane
containing the block is also set to drain/down. This previously
prevented dynamic creation of new blocks when this state was present.
-- Fixed bug where a users association limits were not enforced, only
parent limits were being enforced.
-- For OpenMPI use of SLURM reserved ports, reserve a count of ports equal to
the maximum task count on any node plus one (the plus one is a correction).
-- Do not reset SLURM_TASKS_PER_NODE when srun --preserve-env option is used
(needed by OpenMPI).
-- Fix possible assert failure in task/affinity if a node is configured with
more resources than physically exist.
-- Sview can now resize columns.
-- Avoid clearing a drained node's reason field when state is changed from
down (i.e. returned to service). Note the drain state flag stays set.
* Changes in SLURM 2.0.4
========================
-- Permit node suspend/resume logic to be enabled through "scontrol reconfig"
given appropriate changes to slurm configuration file.
-- Check for return codes on functions with warn_unused_result set.
-- Fix memory leak in getting step information (as used by squeue -s).
-- Better logging for when job's request bad output file locations.
-- Fix issue where if user specified non-existant file to write to slurmstepd
will regain privileges before sending batch script ended to the controller.
-- Fix bug when using the priority_multifactor plugin with no associations
yet.
-- BLUEGENE - we no longer check for the images to sync state. This was
needed long ago when rebooting blocks wasn't a possibility and should
had been removed when that functionality was available.
-- Added message about no connection with the database for sacctmgr.
-- On BlueGene, let srun or salloc exit on SIGINT if slurmctld dies while
booting its block.
-- In select/cons_res fix bug that could result in invalid memory pointer
if node configurations in slurm.conf contains 8 or more distinct
socket/core/thread counts.
-- Modify select/cons_res to recognize updated memory size upon node startup
if FastSchedule=0.
-- Fixed bug if not enforcing associations, but running with them and the
priority/multifactor, the slurmctld will not core dump on processing usage.
-- QOS will not be reset to the default when added back a previously deleted
association.
-- Do not set a job's virtual memory limit based upon the job's specified
memory limit (which should be a real memory limit, not virtual).
-- BLUEGENE - fix for sinfo/sview for displaying proper node count for nodes
in draining state.
-- Fix for sview when viewing a certain part of a group (like 1 job) so it
doesn't core when the part is gone.
-- BLUEGENE - Changed order of SYNC's to be on the front of the list to
avoid having a job terminated with a TERM before the SYNC of the
job happens.
-- Validate configured PluginDir value is a valid directory before trying to
use it.
-- Fix to resolve agent_queue_request symbol from some checkpoint plugins.
-- Fix possible execve error for sbatch script read from stdin.
-- Modify handling of user ID/name and group ID/name in the slurm.conf file
to properly handle user names that contain all digits. Return error code
from uid_from_string() and gid_from_string() functions rather than a uid of
-1, which might be a valid uid or gid on some systems.
-- Fix in re-calcuation of job priorities due to DOWN or DRAINED nodes.
* Changes in SLURM 2.0.3
========================
-- Add reservation creation/update flag of Ignore_Jobs to enable the creation
of a reservation that overlaps jobs expected to still be running when
the reservation starts. This would be especially useful to reserve all
nodes for system maintenence without adjusting time limits of running
jobs before creating the reservation. Without this flag, nodes allocated
jobs expected to running when the reservation begins can not be placed
into a reservation.
-- In task/affinity plugin, add layer of abstraction to logic translating
block masks to physical machine masks. Patch from Matthieu Hautreux, CEA.
-- Fix for setting the node_bitmap in a job to NULL if the job does not
start correctly when expected to start.
-- Fixed bug in srun --pty logic. Output from the task was split up
arbitrarily into stdout and stderr streams, and sometimes was printed
out of order.
-- If job requests minimum and maximum node count range with select/cons_res,
try to satisfy the higher value (formerly only allocated the minimum).
-- Fix for checking for a non-existant job when querying steps.
-- For job steps with the --exclusive option, base initial wait time in
partly upon the process ID for better performance with many job steps

-- salloc now sets SLURM_NTASKS_PER_NODE if --ntasks-per-node option is set.
-- Fix select/linear to properly set a job's count of allocated processors
(all processors on the allocated nodes).
-- Fix select/cons_res to allocate proper CPU count when --ntasks-per-node
option is used without a task count in the job request.
-- Insure that no node is allocated to a job for which the CPU count is less
than --ntasks-per-node * --cpus-per-task.

is greater than 1 and select/cons_res is used.
-- Fix scontrol show config for accounting information when values are
not set in the slurm.conf.
-- Added a set of SBATCH_CPU_BIND* and SBATCH_MEM_BIND* env variables to keep
jobsteps launched from within a batch script from inheriting the CPU and
memory affinity that was applied to the batch script. Patch from Matthieu
Hautreux, CEA.
-- Ignore the extra processors on a node above configured size if either
sched/gang or select/cons_res is configured.
-- Fix bug in tracking memory allocated on a node for select/cons_res plugin.
-- Fixed a race condition when writing labelled output with a file per task
or per node, which potentially closed a file before all data was written.
-- BLUEGENE - Fix, for if a job comes in spanning both less than and
over 1 midplane in size we check the connection type appropriately.

in the under lying infrastructure.
-- Fix, in mysql plugins change mediumints to int to support full 32bit
numbers.
-- Add sinfo node state filtering support for NO_RESPOND, POWER_SAVE, FAIL,
MAINT, DRAINED and DRAINING states. The state filter of DRAIN still maps
to any node in either DRAINED or DRAINING state.
-- Fix reservation logic when job requests specific nodes that are already
in some reservation the job can not use.
-- Fix recomputation of a job's end time when allocated nodes which are
being powered up. The end time would be set in the past if the job's
time limit was INFINITE, resulting in it being prematurely terminated.
-- Permit regular user to change the time limit of his pending jobs up to
the partition's limit.
-- Fix "-Q" (quiet) option for salloc and sbatch which was previously
ignored.
-- BLUEGENE - fix for finding odd shaped blocks in dynamic mode.
-- Fix logic supporting SuspendRate and ResumeRate configuration parameters.
Previous logic was changing state of one too many nodes per minute.

topology.html web page for details.
-- Set "/proc/self/oom_adj" for slurmd and slurmstepd daemons based upon
the values of SLURMD_OOM_ADJ and SLURMSTEPD_OOM_ADJ environment
variables. This can be used to prevent daemons being killed when
a node's memory is exhausted. Based upon patch by Hongjia Cao, NUDT.

-- Add support for SchedulerParameters=interval=<sec> to control the time
interval between executions of the backfill scheduler logic.
-- Preserve record of last job ID in use even when doing a cold-start unless
there is no job state file or there is a change in its format (which only
happens when there is a change in SLURM's major or minor version number:
v1.3 -> v1.4).
-- Added new configuration parameter KillOnBadExit to kill a job step as soon
as any task of a job step exits with a non-zero exit code. Patch based

=============================
-- Bug fix for preemption with select/cons_res when there are no idle nodes.
-- Bug fix for use of srun options --exclusive and --cpus-per-task together
for job step resource allocation (tracking of cpus in use was bad).
-- Added the srun option --preserve-env to pass the current values of
environment variables SLURM_NNODES and SLURM_NPROCS through to the
executable, rather than computing them from commandline parameters.
-- For select/cons_res or sched/gang only: Validate a job's resource
allocation socket and core count on each allocated node. If the node's
configuration has been changed, then abort the job.
-- For select/cons_res or sched/gang only: Disable updating a node's
processor count if FastSchedule=0. Administrators must set a valid
processor count although the memory and disk space configuration can
be loaded from the compute node when it starts.
-- Add configure option "--disable-iso8601" to disable SLURM use of ISO 8601
time format at the time of SLURM build. Default output for all commands

can change (be added or removed).
-- Add configuration option "--with-cpusetdir=PATH" for non-standard
locations.
-- Get new multi-core data structures working on BlueGene systems.
-- Modify PMI_Get_clique_ranks() to return an array of integers rather
than a char * to satisfy PMI standard. Correct logic in
PMI_Get_clique_size() for when srun --overcommit option is used.
-- Fix bug in select/cons_res, allocated a job all of the processors on a
node when the --exclusive option is specified as a job submit option.
-- Add NUMA cpu_bind support to the task affinity plugin. Binds tasks to
a set of CPUs that belong NUMA locality domain with the appropriate
--cpu-bind option (ldoms, rank_ldom, map_ldom, and mask_ldom), see
"man srun" for more information.
* Changes in SLURM 1.4.0-pre4

-- For task/affinity, force jobs to use a particular task binding by setting
the TaskPluginParam configuration parameter rather than slurmd's
SLURM_ENFORCED_CPU_BIND environment variable.
-- Enable full preemption of jobs by partition with select/cons_res
(cons_res_preempt.patch from Chris Holmes, HP).
-- Add configuration parameter DebugFlags to provide detailed logging for
specific subsystems (steps and triggers so far).
-- srun's --no-kill option is passed to slurmctld so that a job step is
killed even if the node where srun executes goes down (unless the
--no-kill option is used, previous termination logic would fail if
srun was not responding).
-- Transfer a job step's core bitmap from the slurmctld to the slurmd
within the job step credential.
-- Add cpu_bind, cpu_bind_type, mem_bind and mem_bind_type to job allocation
