PoD 3.1

Finally a new PoD stable version is ready for consumption.

PoD version 3.1 has now been released.

Those who have been following PoD development know, that a shared installation feature and a Condor plug-in are the main topics of this release.

The Condor plug-in has just joined a long list of supported job managers' plug-ins.
PoD is now shipped with SSH, gLiteLSFPBSPro/OpenPBS/Torque, Grid Engine and Condor plug-ins.

Highlights of this release
  • PoD now supports Condor and is shipped with the Condor plug-in.
  • Now PoD supports shared installations.
  • PoD server and PoD worker instances clean now precisely only own processes. It makes it possible to start several different PoD workers/servers sessions under the same user ID (this is important for an AliEn integration).
  • The PoD server starter script is a factor of 3 faster now.
  • Improved idle time-out handling in PoD servers.
  • Updated User's Manual.
  • Many minor bugfixes and further improvements were made.
