<LI>(Added in 7.8.0.) The new configuration variable
<TT>ENABLE_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS</TT> <A NAME="52516"></A> <A NAME="52517"></A> causes <SPAN  CLASS="textit">condor_submit</SPAN> to issue

<P>
</LI>
<LI>(Added in 7.7.6) The new configuration variable

<P>
</LI>
</UL>

<P>
Bugs Fixed:

<P>

<UL>
<LI>Fixed a bug in the Condor init script that would cause

<A NAME="tex2html105"
  HREF="https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=2872">(Ticket #2872).</A>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Fixed a bug that caused parallel universe jobs using
Parallel Scheduling Groups 
(see section&nbsp;<A HREF="3_12_Setting_Up.html#sec:Configure-Dedicated-Groups">3.12.9</A>)
to occasionally stay idle even when
there were available machines to run them.
<A NAME="tex2html106"
  HREF="https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=3017">(Ticket #3017).</A>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Fixed a bug that caused the <SPAN  CLASS="textit">condor_gridmanager</SPAN> to crash when
attempting to submit jobs to a local PBS, LSF, or SGI cluster.
<A NAME="tex2html107"
  HREF="https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=3014">(Ticket #3014).</A>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Fixed a bug in the handling of local universe jobs which caused
the <SPAN  CLASS="textit">condor_schedd</SPAN> to log a spurious <TT>ERROR</TT> message
every time a local universe job exited, 
and then further caused the statistics for local universe jobs to be 
incorrectly computed.
<A NAME="tex2html108"
  HREF="https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=3008">(Ticket #3008).</A>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Changed the internally used <SPAN  CLASS="textit">condor_ckpt_probe</SPAN> executable
to link statically, which should make the
checkpoint signature more resistant to non-significant changes in the system
configuration.
<A NAME="tex2html109"
  HREF="https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=2901">(Ticket #2901).</A>
<P>

<A NAME="tex2html110"
  HREF="https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=2991">(Ticket #2991).</A>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Fixed a bug when Condor runs under the PrivSep model,
in which if a job created a hard link from one file to another,
Condor was unable to transfer the files back to the submit side,
and the job was put on hold.
<A NAME="tex2html111"
  HREF="https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=2987">(Ticket #2987).</A>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>When configuration variables <TT>MaxJobRetirementTime</TT> or
<TT>MachineMaxVacateTime</TT> were very large, estimates of machine
draining badput and completion time were sometimes nonsensical
because of integer overflow.
<A NAME="tex2html112"
  HREF="https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=3001">(Ticket #3001).</A>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Fixed a bug where per-job sub-directories and their contents
in <TT>SPOOL</TT> would not be removed when the associated job
left the queue.

<P>
</LI>
</UL>

<P>
New Features:

<P>

<UL>
<LI>(Added in 7.7.6.)  The new <SPAN  CLASS="textit">-_condor_relocatable</SPAN> argument
may be given as part of the invocation of a program that uses
standalone checkpointing.  This allows checkpointed programs to restart
without attempting to change to their original directory.
<A NAME="tex2html114"
  HREF="https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=2877">(Ticket #2877).</A>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>(Added in 7.7.5.) Added the <SPAN  CLASS="textit">-absent</SPAN> flag to <SPAN  CLASS="textit">condor_status</SPAN>,
which displays absent ClassAds.
<A NAME="tex2html115"
  HREF="https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=2690">(Ticket #2690).</A>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>(Added in 7.7.5.) Implement absent ads, which help track pool membership
in a persistent way.
<A NAME="tex2html116"
  HREF="https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=2608">(Ticket #2608).</A>
<P>
</LI>
</UL>

<P>
Configuration Variable and ClassAd Attribute Additions and Changes:

<P>

<UL>
<LI>The job ClassAd attribute <TT>RemotePool</TT> is now saved in
  <TT>LastRemotePool</TT> when the job finishes running.

<P>
</LI>
</UL>

<P>
Bugs Fixed:

<P>

<UL>
<LI>(Fixed in 7.7.6.) Fix <SPAN  CLASS="textit">-absent</SPAN>, <SPAN  CLASS="textit">-vm</SPAN>, and <SPAN  CLASS="textit">-java</SPAN>
flags to <SPAN  CLASS="textit">condor_status</SPAN> so that they work with the <SPAN  CLASS="textit">-long</SPAN> option.
<A NAME="tex2html117"
  HREF="https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=2943">(Ticket #2943).</A>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Support glob() on Scientific Linux 6 and others using the new
Linux system call fstatat(), but only when not using remote system calls.
<A NAME="tex2html118"
  HREF="https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=2945">(Ticket #2945).</A>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Fixed potential startd crash introduced in v7.7.5 when claiming 
a partitionable slot that was in the Owner state. 
<A NAME="tex2html119"
  HREF="https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=2936">(Ticket #2936).</A>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>When ClassAd function stringListMember() is called with an empty
string as the second argument, it now evaluates to <TT>False</TT>.
Previously, it incorrectly evaluated to <TT>Undefined</TT>.
<A NAME="tex2html120"
  HREF="https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=2953">(Ticket #2953).</A>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Format tags %v and %V for the <SPAN  CLASS="textbf">-format</SPAN> option now properly
print all ClassAd value types. Previously, <TT>True</TT> and <TT>False</TT>
were printed as integers, and new ClassAd types like lists and nested
ClassAds could not be printed.
<A NAME="tex2html121"
  HREF="https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=2960">(Ticket #2960).</A>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Restored RCS keyword strings CondorVersion and CondorPlatform to
the Condor binaries. These strings are found and printed by the 
<SPAN  CLASS="textbf">ident</SPAN> program on Unix. They were missing in Condor versions 7.7.3
and later.
<A NAME="tex2html122"
  HREF="https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=2932">(Ticket #2932).</A>
<P>
</LI>
<LI><SPAN  CLASS="textit">condor_job_router</SPAN> failed to route spooled source jobs.
<A NAME="tex2html123"
  HREF="https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=2955">(Ticket #2955).</A>
<P>
</LI>
<LI>Fixed a bug on Debian 6 and RHEL 6 that could cause standard
universe jobs to never checkpoint. This would happen if the job
triggered a call to NSCD (Name Service Caching Daemon) but NSCD 
wasn't running. 
Calls to NSCD can be triggered by a look up of a user account or
resolving a machine hostname to an IP address.
Now, NSCD is never consulted by a standard universe
job (this was already the behavior on other platforms).
