8.3 Development Release Series 6.9

This is the development release series of Condor. The details of each version are described below.

Version 6.9.0

Release Notes:

• The 6.9.0 release contains all of the bug fixes and enhancements from the 6.8.x series up to and including version 6.8.2.

New Features:

• Preliminary support for using glexec on execute machines has been added. This feature causes the condor_ startd to spawn the condor_ starter as the user that glexec determines based on the user's GSI credential.

• A ``per-job history files'' feature has been added to the condor_ schedd. When enabled, this will cause the condor_ schedd to write out a copy of each job's ClassAd when it leaves the job queue. The directory to place these files in is determined by the parameter PER_JOB_HISTORY_DIR . It is the resposibilty of whatever external entity (e.g. an accounting or monitoring system) is using these files to remove them as it completes its processing.

• condor_ chirp command now supports writing messages to the userlog.

• condor_ chirp getattr and putattr now send all classad getattr and putattr commands to the proc 0 classad, which allows multiple proc parallel jobs to use proc 0 as a scratchpad.

• Parallel jobs now suport an AllRemoteHosts attribute, which lists all the hosts across all procs in a cluster.

• The DAGMAN_ABORT_DUPLICATES config macro (which causes condor_ dagman to abort itself if it detects another condor_ dagman running on the same DAG) now defaults to True instead of False.

Bugs Fixed:

• None.

Known Bugs:

• None.
