Slurm version 15.08.4 is now available it includes about 25 bug fixes
developed over the past couple of weeks.
One notable fix is found in commits 8e66e2677 and d72f132d42 which will
fix a slurmctld bug in which a pending job array could be canceled by a
user different from the owner or the administrator. This appears to
exist in the 15.08.* as well as the 14.11.* branches.
It is recommended you update at your earliest convenience. If upgrading
isn't an option generating a patch from those 2 commits is recommended.
Details about the changes are listed in the distribution's NEWS file.
Slurm downloads are available from http://www.schedmd.com/#repos.
See you all at SC15 next week, Slurm booth #1851!
