====== Release Notes 5.12 ======

GridWay 5.12 is a new stable version of the fifth series of the metascheduler.

Release date: October 2nd, 2012

===== Improved BES driver =====

The BES driver now includes Transport-level security (instead of Message-level security), all transfers are specified in JSDL (so they do not depend on globus-url-copy) and UNICORE BES endpoints are now supported.

===== Improved CREAM driver =====

The CREAM driver now takes advantage of the new QueryEvent operation in CREAM to improve job monitoring. Also, multithreading has been improved.

===== Support for DRMAA2 (Tech Preview) =====

A Technology Preview of a C binding for the new OGF's DRMAA2 specification is available, thanks to Suijian Zhou from Uppsala University.
