Mon, 24 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.7/8_3Development_Release.html The Condor team is pleased to announce the release of Condor version 7.7.2. This is the third release in the development series. This release dynamically links more libraries than before, resulting in a 30 percent decrease in download size on most operating systems. Please be aware that due to a difference in older condor_master binaries, condor_masters older than 7.7.2, including all 7.6 releases, can not re-exec a 7.7.2 master. That is, if you try to upgrade a pre-7.7.2 system just by copying over binaries, the condor_master will shutdown, and must be manually restarted. 7.7.2 masters can re-exec themselves without incident.

Tue, 20 Sep 2011 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.7/8_3Development_Release.html The Condor team is pleased to announce the release of Condor 7.7.1. This is the second release in the development series. This release of Condor now dynamically links the executables to the system security libraries, including openssl. In the past, these libraries have been statically linked into the binaries. As a result, system security updates will immediately benefit Condor. The downside is that binaries built for a given platform may not be as portable to other platforms as in the past. We have also seen a very rare, intermittent problem with DAGman where the DAGman program will ignore a successful job completion, and wait forever. We hope to resolve this problem in the next development release. The Version History has a list of the major changes. Condor binaries and source code are available from our Downloads page.
