Confluent 1.5.0 has been released.  Changes include:
-Add a `nodeboot` convenience command to shorten nodepower and nodesetboot 
(e.g. `nodeboot <nodes> setup` will put nodes into the F1 setup menu)
-Add confluentdbutil, to allow export/import of confluent db to/from json.  It 
can either password protect or redact passwords.
-Adds a `nodeshell` command to use confluent to expand noderanges and commonds 
(e.g. `nodeshell rack1 ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.{n1}`)
-Fix missing csh profile
-Implement ThinkSystem support
-Provide a new discovery mechanism.

The biggest headline is the new discovery mechanism.  It can do discovery and 
'bmcsetup' equivalent of Lenovo hardware while it is still off.  It also 
provides the switch information and discovery mechanism under /networking/macs 
and /discovery directories.  Some details on the discovery capabilities can be 
seen here:

The Lenovo HPC yum repo (https://hpc.lenovo.com/users/downloads/) is updated 
with appropriate rpms.

Also note that we have completed our test of 2.13.2.lenovo1.  This is pretty 
much 2.13.2 with some bugfixes.  One notable exception, that repository's 
xCAT-genesis-base is now based on CentOS 7 rather than CentOS6 .
