It has come to our attention a bug in 2.4.0 results in job loss when upgrading from 2.3.* to 2.4.0.
2.4.1 has fixed this problem. This is the only patch in 2.4.1 from 2.4.0. 2.4.1 will preserve job state from 2.4.0 as well as state from 2.1+. Sorry for the inconvenience, thanks to Charles Fenoy for bringing the issue to our attention. You may download it at http://www.schedmd.com/#repos. To avoid future job loss we have taken 2.4.0 away from download. If you need it for historic purposes please fill free to download the tag from github. Change log below. Danny * Changes in SLURM 2.4.1 ======================== -- Fix bug for job state change from 2.3 -> 2.4 job state can now be preserved correctly when transitioning. This also applies for 2.4.0 -> 2.4.1, no state will be lost. (Thanks to Carles Fenoy)
