The Condor Team announces the release of
Condor 7.0.5.
This release contains many bug fixes and some improvements to error handling of Local Universe jobs. Note that some of the bug fixes are security-related; therefore, we recommend sites either upgrade Condor, or restrict permissions on who is allowed to submit Condor jobs to trusted users. Bug fixes that are security related are clearly marked in the Bugs Fixed section of the
Release Notes, with a description of the potential security impact. The Condor Project believes in the full disclosure of information, and therefore
publishes complete vulnerability details.
However, in order to give an adequate upgrade window for production installations, we will delay posting the full vulnerability details fixed in this release for 30 days (until the week of November 3rd 2008).
In addition, we took just the security bug fixes in v7.0.5 and back-ported them to v6.8; this effort has been released as version 6.8.9.
Binaries for both releases, as well as sources for v7.0.5, are available from
our
Downloads page.
The Condor Team is pleased to announce the release of
Condor 7.1.3. This release in the development series
contains the bug fixes from the v7.0.5 release, including the security related patches. In addition, several new features have been added such as Concurrency Limits (for management of resources such as floating software licenses), IBM Blue Gene support, profile management on Windows, and more. See our Release Notes for more details.

The Condor Team has pulled Condor 7.1.1 from the web due

and authentication problems under Windows). We plan to release 7.1.2
within a week to address these problems. In the mean time, you can

our

The Condor Team is pleased to announce the release of Condor 7.0.4. This release fixes a problem with DENY lists in the authorization policy that could allow access when it should be denied.

Bugs fixed on Windows include daemons failing to start and crashes related to Condor-C and parallel jobs. See the version history for a complete list of bugs that have been fixed.
