"scontrol reconfig" rather than recreating it from slurm.conf. Node Weight
was formerly always recreated from slurm.conf.
* Support has been added for TotalView to attach to a subset of launched tasks
instead of requiring that all tasks be attached to.
* A web application (chart_stats.cgi) has been added that invokes sreport to
retrieve from the accounting storage db a user's request for job usage or
machine utilization statistics and charts the results to a browser.
* SLURM commands (squeue, sinfo, sview, etc...) can now operate between
clusters. Jobs can also be submitted with sbatch to other cluster(s) with the
job routed to the one cluster expected to initiated the job first.
CONFIGURATION FILE CHANGES (see "man slurm.conf" for details)
=============================================================
* A hash of the slurm.conf running on each node in the cluster is sent when
registering with the slurmctld so it can verify the slurm.conf is the same
as the one it is running. If not an error message is displayed. To
silence this message add NO_CONF_HASH to DebugFlags in your slurm.conf.
* SLURM commands (squeue, sinfo, sview, etc...) can now go cross-cluster. Jobs
can also be submitted with sbatch to other cluster(s) with the job routed to
the one cluster expected to initiated the job first.
CONFIGURATION FILE CHANGES (see "man slurm.conf" for details)
=============================================================
* Added VSizeFactor to enforce virtual memory limits for jobs and job steps as
a percentage of their real memory allocation.

* Added new configuration parameter GresPlugins which manages generic resources.
* Added "--enable-partial-attach" option to configure (build) script.
* Added support for new partition states of DRAIN (run queued jobs, but accept
no new jobs) and INACTIVE (do not accept or run any more jobs) and new
partition option of "Alternate" (alternate partition to use for jobs
submitted to partitions that are currently in a state of DRAIN or INACTIVE).
* Added support for new partition states of DRAIN and INACTIVE and new partition
option of "Alternate" (alternate partition to use for jobs submitted to
partitions that are currently in a state of DRAIN or INACTIVE).
* Added the ability to configure PreemptMode on a per-partition or per-QOS
basis.
* Added the ability to configure PreemptMode on a per-partition basis.
* Modified the meaning of InactiveLimit slightly. It will now cancel the job
allocation created using the salloc or srun command if those commands cease
responding for the InactiveLimit regardless of any running job steps. This
parameter will no longer effect jobs spawned using sbatch.

* Users can hold and release their own jobs. Submit in held state using srun
or sbatch --hold or -H options. Hold after submission using the command
"scontrol hold <jobid>". Release with "scontrol release <jobid>". Users can
not release jobs held by system administrator.

daemon's nice value.
