PoD 3.4

I'm very glad to announce a new stable release of PoD.

PoD version 3.4 has now been released.

Highlights of this release
  • Starting with version 3.4, PoD got its version numbering scheme a bit changed. It reflects the fact that PoD is both a production system and a research project. PoD now uses odd minor version numbers to denote development releases and even minor version numbers to denote stable releases.
  • Implemented a completely new "pod-info" command, which now works as a client for "pod-agent" and can be used to request information from remote PoD servers.
  • The PoD server starter script uses now the new "pod-info" and got significant improvements. It takes now less than a second to start PoD server.
  • The PoD worker package is updated automatically if any of its component is updated.
  • The SSH plug-in spawns now PROOF workers automatically according to a number of CPU Cores on workers, if a user doesn't request a specific number of workers.
  • Updated User's Manual.
  • Many minor bugfixes and further improvements were made.
