On behalf of the Globus Toolkit development team, I am pleased to announce that
a new point release in the 5.2 series of the Globus Toolkit is now available -
5.2.1.
Highlights of this release include:
GridFTP
* Added ability to restrict the directories/paths a server may access.
* Added server support for setting file modification time.
* Added ability (MLSC) to stream directory listings over the control
channel.
GRAM5
* Fixed a number of bugs found by OSG during high scalability testing
* Added job expiration and automatic cleanup for jobs that finish, but
client does not do a final commit for several hours. This is configurable via
RSL. Improves use of Condor-G for OSG.
* Added site .rvf file support. This allows a site administrator to
modify default RSL values and add or remove RSL attributes locally, without
modifying packaged files. This allows configuration to remain when package
updates are released.
MyProxy
* Updated to MyProxy version v5.6
GSI-Enabled OpenSSH
* Updated to gsissh version v5.4
Repo Support Update
* No longer supported: Debian 5; Fedora 13, 14
* Newly supported: Debian 7 (testing); Ubuntu 10.04LTS, 12.04 (testing)
