The Condor Project is pleased to announce the latest Stork release, as part of the Condor v6.7.6 release. Stork is now bundled with Condor, and will be available as part of the Condor v6.7 Developer's release series. Stork now uses the mature Condor internal libraries. This fixes several bugs including a significant security authentication problem between Stork and the Condor Credential Manager daemon (CredD). Additionally, memory leaks have been removed from both the Stork and CredD. Both Stork and CredD now have internal test suites. Stork and CredD are initially only available for linux-x86-glibc23 platforms, such as Redhat9, Fedora, Redhat Enterprise Linux, etc. The list of supported platforms will grow in future releases. The Stork modular design has been enhanced. The default module install directory is now $RELEASE_DIR/libexec, instead of the previous sbin/DaP_Catalog. Modules have been split into core modules bundled with Stork, and contributed modules, available from the Stork home page. This change was made to accommodate external library and binary dependencies imposed by several data protocols. As the module API is simple, users are always welcome to write or contribute their own modules. Module stdout and stderr streams are now redirected files in the $LOG directory. Many new features are also available. Stork configuration has been merged into the Condor configuration files. The condor_configure tool now supports Stork and CredD. SRB support has been upgraded to v3.2.1. The Stork, CredD tools can now connect to default servers, specified via the configuration files. All tools now have help, version and debug command line options. Some tool options have changed to match equivalent Condor tools. See the new tool manual pages for command line syntax. The condor_off, condor_on and condor_reconfig tools now support both Stork and CredD via the new -subsystem option. Interfaces between Stork and Condor DAGMan have been improved. Users are encouraged to control large Stork and Condor work flows using DAGMan. Stork documentation is in the process of being merged into the Condor Manual. The Stork User's Tutorial, presented at CondorWeek 2005 also serves as an excellent User's Guide.
