2.6

• Task commands are now represented verbatim in the status file---no quoting. To parse the status file, simply split into a fixed number of fields using the tab character. The contents of the last field will be the command
• Added environment variables with zero-padding as a convenience for when they are used to create file names
• Changed to "disbatchc" directory name to support case-insensitive platforms like Mac OS X
• Added option to specify the network address to be used internally by disBatch---some platforms self identify with something funky, when "localhost:0" would be more appropriate
• Added wait_for_one() method to disBatcher class
• Bug fixes
• Optimized internal monitoring to scale better
• Added throttle to reduce load on SLURM when retiring nodes
• When using SLURM, start internal management processes via srun for better integration
• When using SLURM, SLURM_CPU_BIND=cores and SLURM_MPI_TYPE=none are now defaults

2.5

Major changes since 2.0:

• Simplify installation and running directly from a git check out.
• Better handling of inconsistencies in options when used with SLURM.
• "--fill" option to make use of allocated resources that exceed request resources.
• Added mechanism for customizing options for internal srun invocations when using SLURM.
• The python object encapsulation, disBatcher, can now start its own disBatch server.
