in a RootOnly partition).
-- Fix node processing if state change requested via scontrol prior to
initial node registration.
* Changes in SLURM 0.3.0
========================
-- Support for AIX added (a few bugs do remain).

-- Add support for "hidden" partitions (applies to their
nodes, jobs, and job steps as well). APIs and commands
modified to optionally display hidden partitions.

of the allocation rather than the user making the allocation
request (user root for LCRM batch jobs).

(requires liblwcf).

ensure plugins use only slurm_ prefixed functions (created aliases
where necessary).

-- Fix bug in slurmctld's building of nodelist for job (failed if
more than one numeric field in node name).
-- Change "scontrol completing" and "sinfo" to use job's node bitmap
to identify nodes associated with that particular job that are
still processing job completion. This will work properly for
shared nodes.

-- Fix for file descriptor leak in slurmd.
-- Propagate stacksize limit to jobs along with other resource limits
that were previously ignored.
===============================

scalability.
-- New sinfo option "--list-reason" or "-R". Displays down or drained
nodes along with their REASON field.

-- Add support for getting node's real memory size on AIX.
-- Sinfo sort partitions in slurm.conf order, new sort option ("#P").
-- Document how to gracefully change plugin values.
-- Slurmctld does not attempt to recover jobs when the switch plugin
value changes (decision reached when any job's switch state recovery
fails).
-- Node does not transition from COMPLETING to DOWN state due to
not responding. Wait for tasks to complete or admin to set DOWN.
-- Always chmod SlurmdSpoolDir to 755 (a umask of 007 was resulting
-- Return errors when trying to change configuration parameters
AuthType, SchedulerType, and SwitchType via "scontrol reconfig"
or SIGHUP. Document how to safely change these parameters.

throughput (resulted in job inactivity limit being reached improperly
when hundreds of jobs running simultaneously)

clusters with FastSchedule configured off

===============================
-- Fix bug where early launch failures (such as invalid UID/GID) resulted
in jobs not terminating properly.
