On behalf of the Globus Toolkit development team I am pleased to announce that
a new point release in the 5.0 series of the Globus Toolkit is now available -
5.0.5.
**Note** GT 5.0.5 will likely be the last release for the GT 5.0.x series.
Soon we'll release GT 5.2.1, which will be a superset of the 5.0.5 source code.
5.2.x includes the convenience and simplicity of installing GT components
using binary native packages. We are encouraging users to move to the GT 5.2.x
series at their convenience. OSG has already moved to 5.2. Soon 5.2 will be
available directly in Debian, EPEL, RHEL, Ubuntu, ... repos.
Highlights of this release include:
GridFTP
* Added ability to restrict the directories/paths a server has access
too
* Added server support for setting file modification time
* Added ability (MLSC) to stream directory listings over the control
channel
GRAM5
* Fixed bugs affecting stability found by OSG during high scalability
testing
* Added "log facility" option to support GRAM logging to syslog
MyProxy
* Updated to MyProxy version v5.6
GSI-Enabled OpenSSH
* Updated to gsissh version 5.4
