passthrough nodes to the allocation when creating a block.
- BLUEGENE - Fix deadlock issue with starting and failing jobs at the same
time

there are nodes that are down or draining.
- Fix srun's default node count with an existing allocation when neither
SLURM_NNODES nor -N are set.
- Stop srun from setting SLURM_DISTRIBUTION under job steps when a
specific was not explicitly requested by the user.
* Changes in SLURM 1.1.16
=========================
- BLUEGENE - fix to make prolog run 5 minutes longer to make sure we have
enough time to free the overlapping blocks when starting a new job on a
block.
- BLUEGENE - edit to the libsched_if.so to read env and look at
MPIRUN_PARTITION to see if we are in slurm or running mpirun natively.

- In sched/wiki2: add event notification logic on job submit and completion.
- In sched/wiki2: add support for JOBWILLRUN command type.
- In sched/wiki2: for job info, include required HOSTLIST if applicable.
- In sched/wiki2: for job info, replace PARTITIONMASK with RCLASS (report
partition name associated with a job, but no task count)
- In sched/wiki2: for job and node info, report all data if TS==0,
volitile data if TS<=update_time, state only if TS>update_time
- In sched/wiki2: add support for CMD=JOBSIGNAL ARG=jobid SIGNAL=name or #
- In sched/wiki2: add support for CMD=JOBMODIFY ARG=jobid [BANK=name]
[TIMELIMIT=minutes] [PARTITION=name]

[EPORT=#]; RESPONSE=EPORT=# USEHOSTEXP=T
- In sched/wiki2: fix memory leak.
- Fix sinfo node state filtering when asking for idle nodes that are also
draining.
- Add Fortran extension to slurm_get_rem_time() API.
- Fix bug when changing the time limit of a running job that has previously
been suspended (formerly failed to account for suspend time in setting
termination time).
- fix for step allocation to be able to specify only a few nodes in a
step and ask for more that specified.
- patch from Hongjia Cao for forwarding logic
- BLUEGENE - able to allocate specific nodes without locking up.
- BLUEGENE - better tracking of blocks that are created dynamically,
less hitting the db2.
* Changes in SLURM 1.1.13
=========================
- Fix hang in sched/wiki2 if Moab stops responding responding when
response is outgoing.
- BLUEGENE - fix to make sure the block is good to go when picking it
- BLUEGENE - add libsched_if.so so mpirun doesn't try to create a block
by itself.

- Sched/wiki2 to report a job's account as COMMENT response to GETJOBS
request.
- Add srun option "--comment" (maps to job account until slurm v1.2,
needed for Moab scheduler functionality).
- fixed some timeout issues in the controller hopefully stopping all the
issues with excessive timeouts.

=========================
- Update file headers adding permission to link with OpenSSL.
- Enable sched/wiki2 message authentication.
- Fix libpmi compilation issue.

=========================
-- task distribution fix for steps that are smaller than job allocation.
-- BLUEGENE - fix to only send a success when block was created when trying

slurmctld and srun launch command. This is done with a tree type
algorithm. Spawn and batch mode work the same as before. New slurm.conf
variable TreeWidth=50 is default. This is the number of threads per
stop on the tree.
-- Configuration parameter HeartBeatInterval is depracated. Now used half
of SlurmdTimeout and SlurmctldTimeout for communications to slurmd and
slurmctld daemons repsectively.
-- Add hash tables for select/cons_res plugin (Susanne Balle, HP,
patch_02222006).

we set it to O_NONBLOCK) on exit to avoid trouble with things like running
srun under a bash shell in an emacs *shell* buffer.
-- Fix srun race condition that occasionally causes segfaults at shutdown
-- Fix obscure locking issues in log.c code.
-- Explicitly close IO related sockets. If an srun gets "stuck", possibly
because of unkillable tasks in its job step, it will not hold many TCP
sockets in the CLOSE_WAIT state.
-- Increase the SLURM protocol timeout from 5 seconds to 10 seconds.
(In 1.2 there will be a slurm.conf parameter for this, rather than having
it hardcoded.)
* Changes in SLURM 1.0.14

-- Fix possible srun hang on task launch failure.
-- Add support for mvapich v0.9.4, 0.9.5 and gen2.
* Changes in SLURM 0.6.0
========================
-- Add documentation for ProctrackType=proctrack/rms.
-- Make proctrack/rms be the default for switch/elan.
-- Do not preceed SIGKILL or SIGTERM to job step with (non-requested) SIGCONT.
-- Fixed smap -Db to display slurm partitions correctly.
-- Explicitly disallow ProctrackType=proctrack/linuxproc with
SwitchType=switch/elan. They will not work properly together.
* Changes in SLURM 0.6.0-pre8
=============================
-- Remove debugging xassert in switch/federation that were accidentally
committed
-- Make slurmd step manager retry slurm_container_destroy() indefinitely
instead of giving up after 30 seconds. If something prevents a job
step's processes from being killed, the job will be stuck in the
completing until the container destroy succeeds.
* Changes in SLURM 0.6.0-pre7
=============================
-- Disable localtime_r() calls from forked processes (semaphore set
in another pthread can deadlock calls to localtime_r made from
the forked process, this will be properly fixed in the next
major release of SLURM).
-- Added SLURM_LOCALID environment variable for spawned tasks
(Dan Palermo, HP).
-- Modify switch logic to restore state based exclusively upon
recovered job steps (not state save file).
-- Gracefully refuse job if there are too many job steps in slurmd.
-- Fix race condition in job completion that can leave nodes in
COMPLETING state after job is COMPLETED.
-- Added frees for BGL BrigeAPI strdups that were to this point unknown.
-- smap scrolls correctly for BGL systems.
-- slurm_pid2jobid() API call will now return the jobid for a step
manager slurmd process.
* Changes in SLURM 0.6.0-pre6
=============================
-- Added logic to return scheduled nodes to Maui scheduler (David
Jackson, Cluster Resources)
-- Fix bug in handling job request with maximum node count.
-- Fix node selection scheduling bug with heterogeneous nodes and
srun --cpus-per-task option
-- Generate error file to note prolog failures.
* Changes in SLURM 0.6.0-pre5
=============================
-- Modify sfree (BGL command) so that --all option no longer requires
an argument.
-- Modify smap so it shows all nodes and partitions by default (even
nodes that the user can't access, otherwise there are holes in
its maps).
-- Added module to parse time string (src/common/parse_time.c) for
future use.
-- Fix BlueGene hostlist processing for non-rectangular prisms and
add string length checking.
-- Modify orphan batch job time calculation for BGL to account for
slowness when booting many bglblocks at the same time.
* Changes in SLURM 0.6.0-pre4
=============================
-- Added etc/slurm.epilog.clean to kill processes initiated outside of
slurm when a user's last job on a node terminates.
-- Added config.xml and configurator.html files for use by OSCAR.
-- Increased maximum job step count from 64 to 130 for BGL systems only.
* Changes in SLURM 0.6.0-pre3
=============================
-- Add code so job request for shared nodes gets explicitly requested
nodes, but lightly loaded nodes otherwise.
-- Add job step name field.
-- Add job step network specification field.
-- Add proctrack/rms plugin
-- Change the proctrack API to send a slurmd_job_t pointer to both
slurm_container_create() and slurm_container_add(). One of those
functions MUST set job->cont_id.
-- Remove vestigial node_use (virtual or coprocessor) field from job
request RPC.
-- Fix mpich-gm bugs, thanks to Takao Hatazaki (HP).
-- Fix code for clean build with gcc 2.96, Takao Hatazaki (HP).
-- Add node update state of "RESUME" to return DRAINED, DRAINING, or
DOWN node to service (IDLE or ALLOCATED state).
-- smap keeps trying to connect to slurmctld in iterative mode rather
than just aborting on failure.
-- Add squeue option --node to filter by node name.
-- Modify squeue --user option to accept not only user names, but also
user IDs.
* Changes in SLURM 0.6.0-pre2
=============================
-- Removed "make rpm" target.

"MpiDefault=mpich-gm")
-- Make default plugin be "none" for mpi.
-- Added mpi/none plugin and made it the default.
