Condor 6.9.5 contains all bug fixes from the 6.8.x stable series  
through the 6.8.7 release (due out tomorrow), and numerous bug fixes  
for problems introduced in the 6.9.x development series.  In  
particular, a critical bug in 6.9.4 that could cause corruption of  
binary data files written by standard universe jobs is now fixed.

Users of Condor version 6.9.4 are urged to upgrade immediately.   
Users of the 6.8.x stable series should not upgrade until the next  
stable release is available.

Version 6.9.5 also adds several new features, including: scalability  
improvements, updates between the starter and startd which allow more  
accurate job eviction policies, enhancements to Condor's privilege  
separation, and more.

Full details and a complete list of changes can be found in the  
Condor manual:

The 6.9.5 release is considered by the Condor Team to be the first  
"release candidate" for the next stable release.  Therefore, no new  
features will be added to the Condor 6.9.x development series at this  
point, only bug fixes will be included between now and the  
forthcoming 7.0.0 release.
