Notable changes in Son of Grid Engine
=====================================

For earlier changes (comprising Sun Grid Engine), see Changelog in the
source distribution, and the bug lists at
http://arc.liv.ac.uk/SGE/howto/Installation,%20Upgrade,%20Patches.
For detailed recent change information, including credits for changes
not listed here, see https://arc.liv.ac.uk/trac/SGE/log/sge/

"[#<n>]" below refers to ticket <n> at
https://arc.liv.ac.uk/trac/SGE/ticket/<n>.  For historical reasons,
changes due to Univa/Sun are tagged as "[U]", or "[(U)]" if partially
due to them or appearing first in this version.


Version 8.1.9
-------------

* Security
  * Drop setgid privileges correctly (CERT POS36-C); daemons now run
    with (only) admin user's groups, not root's

* Building

  * MUNGE authentication can be built in (aimk -munge)
  * Use a minimal autoconf framework
  * Fix building on recent Darwin and Cygwin [#1516, #1536, #1557]
  * Drop support for Darwin < 10 and Darwin/PPC
  * Cope with GNU/Linux ppc64le as well as ppc64el

  * Actually install "work" in utilbin (c.f. 8.1.8)
  * Rpm spec fixes for Fedora 23, ppc64, and OpenSuSE
  * Fix build when bool is defined in headers

* Bug fixes

  * Man fixes
  * Message fixes [#1538, #1539]
  * Fix RPM packaging of spool files [#1519]
  * Don't set port and cluster in check_sge.py, and accept memory in T
  * Fix pam_sge-qrsh-setup for recent PAM
  * Do a full, not a partial match on GECOS data when selecting certificate
    in sge_ca [#1517]
  * Fix checking of admin host in qconf [#1547]
  * Report the actual exit status of master task in tightly integrated
    parallel jobs
  * Fix share tree accounting with array jobs [#435]
  * Fix doubled multipliers of units in qacct memory reports

  * Sort jobs and advance reservations when reading from spool [#1552, #1553]
  * Fix detection of old v. new type of cpuset [#1523]

  * Use PVM_VMID environment variable [#44]
  * rc templates support a "status" argument (for HA usage)

* Potentially incompatible changes

  * Print error messages to stderr and don't print on success with -terse
    to be consistent with submit(1) saying that error messages go to
    stderr and to make -terse more useful in cases like
      cat test.o$(qsub -sync y -terse -cwd -N test ...)
  * sge_ca -renew and friends no longer revoke old certificates

    fix for half of CVE-2012-0208

* Enhancements

  * SGE_BINDING is set in the environment for all types of binding
  * New jobstats(1) provides historical job summary
  * Berkeleydb spools can optionally be opened "private" to allow
    operation on NFS3 filesystems.  Currently no installer support, but

  * Environment variable SGE_DRMAA_ALLOW_JOB_ERROR_STATE allows DRMAA
    jobs to enter the error state [#1374]; see drmaa_submit(3)
  * Define SGE_JOBEXIT_STAT environment variable in epilog; see submit(1)
  * The user from which mail is sent can be configured in sge_conf(5)

    methods
  * distinst supports installation with install(1) for use with -local

* Incompatible changes

  * The CA directory is now /var/lib/sgeCA instead of /var/sgeCA
    [#293] but installation will offer to move it [fixme]
  * Drop (any pretence at) support for Cray/Unicos, NEC SX, Darwin 6
  * The spool format for parallel job tasks has changed from any previous
    version built with qsort_args (as above), which will make live
    upgrades from such a version fail on nodes running parallel jobs

* Other changes

  * Extensive internal changes to improve robustness, e.g. of
    string-handling against buffer overruns -- somewhat error-prone
    and may have caused regressions; more required

    in favour of ssh


Version 8.1.0

  * Update LICENCES with some missing items
  * Fix qevent crash printing usage and add man page

* Security fixes

  The first fix is for a trivial remote root by a valid user.  The
  others, including fixes for potential buffer overruns in daemon and
  setuid programs, may or may not be exploitable.

  * Sanitize the environment before executing remote startup programs etc.
    Somewhat incompatible:  LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc. may need to be set
    differently.  See the security notes in remote_startup(5) and
    sge_conf(5).  (CVE-2012-0208, thanks to William Hay)
  * Don't write initial log messages in /tmp [#508].  Somewhat
    incompatible:  initial messages now in syslog.
  * Avoid using mktemp.  (Probably not a significant problem.)
  * Control core dumps under setuid etc. with SGE_ENABLE_COREDUMP.
    (Not normally a security issue.)
  * Bounds checking in replace_params [#215]

    program) sgepasswd [including #386]
