<ul>
<li>Permit resource allocations (jobs) to shrink in size.</li>

<li>Add a job submission plugin that can be use to set site-specific default
job parameters including default partition (based upon job size, etc.).</li>
<li>Add support for TotalView partitial attach (debugger attach to selected
tasks only).</li>
<li>Add support for draining partitions (job queues) with alternate partition
specification available.</li>
<li>The MySQL database has been restructured for a 50-75% performance
improvement.</li>
<li>RPCs have been modified to prevent job loss on SLURM upgrades and permit
different versions of the commands and deamons to interoperate.</li>
<li>Major enhancements made to PostGres database plugin (still beta).</li>
</ul>
