Release Notes 5.12

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

Release date: October 2nd, 2012

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.

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

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

• Bug #126: Type and count not specified in RSL2 for wrapper-based submission
• Bug #127: Missing special wrapper for SSH drivers
• Bug #131: EM driver reload leaves jobs in WRAP state forever
