Slurm version 2.5.0-rc2 is now available. Slurm version 2.5.0-rc1 had
a bad slurm.spec file resulting in plugins not being packaged. The
slurm.spec file and several bugs have fixed in version 2.5.0-rc2,
which is available from http://www.schedmd.com/#repos. We currently
expect to tag versions 2.5.0 and 2.4.5 about December 4, a bit later
than expected, but preferable for improved stability.
* Changes in SLURM 2.5.0-rc2
============================
-- Fix slurm.spec file to include all files neede in RPMs.
-- Modify sbcast logic to survive slurmd daemon restart while file a
transmission is in progress.
-- Add retry logic to munge encode/decode calls. This is needed if the munge
deamon is under very heavy load (e.g. with 1000 slurmd daemons per compute
node).
-- Add launch and acct_gather_energy plugins to RPMs.
-- Restore support for srun "--mpi=list" option.
-- CRAY - Introduce step accounting for a Cray.
-- Modify srun to abandon I/O 60 seconds after the last task ends. Otherwise
an aborted slurmstepd can cause the srun process to hang indefinitely.
-- ENERGY - RAPL - alter code to close open files (and only open them once
where needed)
-- If the PrologSlurmctld fails, then requeue the job an indefinite number
of times instead of only one time.
