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

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.
