This is the development release series of HTCondor.
The details of each version are described below.
Version 8.5.0
Release Notes:
HTCondor version 8.5.0 released on October 12, 2015.
New Features:
The condor_startd history file contains two new attributes: BadputCausedByDraining and BadputCausedByPreemption, two boolean-valued attributes which are true if the job was evicted not by a user request.
(Ticket #5255).
The python bindings have a new Claim API, allowing Computing-On-Demand (COD) to be
invoked via python.
(Ticket #5130).
The python bindings can now submit multiple distinct processes using the submitMany
method, similar to a condor_submit file with multiple queue statements.
(Ticket #4916).
The python bindings now provide improved support for managing multiple concurrent queries.
(Ticket #5187).
As an experimental feature, the python bindings implement the HTCondor negotiation protocol.
(Ticket #5125).
Changed "Condor" to "HTCondor" in condor_dagman
output (mainly in the dagman.out file).
(Ticket #5144).
The new configuration parameter JOB_SPOOL_PERMISSIONS
controls the permissions on a job's spool directory managed by the
condor_schedd on unix.
It defaults to the value user, which results in a permissions
value of 0700.
Other valid values are group (permissions 0750) and
world (permissions 0755).
Previously, all job spool directories had access permissions of 0755.
(Ticket #4896).
The condor_schedd no longer changes the ownership of spooled job
files that it manages.
Now, the files are always owned by the submitting user.
The previous behavior of changing ownership to/from the condor
account can be restored by setting the new configuration parameter
CHOWN_JOB_SPOOL_FILES to True.
(Ticket #5226).
