Re: [HTCondor-users] HTCondor 8.2.6 Released

[Miha Ahronovitz <myinnervoice@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tim, 

I know the new version announcement looked like this or worse for the last 30 plus years. I mean there is no notion of elementary product market. I write this message hoping that is never too late

I have a little bird on my shoulder who whispers in ear: "So what?"

This new version contains:

 - a bug fix to the log rotation of the condor_schedd on Linux platforms

So, what? 

 - transfer_input_files now works for directories on Windows platforms

OK 

 - a correction of the flags passed to the mail program on Linux platforms

So what? 

 - a RHEL 7 platform fix of a directory permission that prevented daemons

   from starting

So what? 

This is list of bug fixing? Did we eliminate all the bugs? Of course not. Are they any new features? (which we already have too many). It does  not look like.

So what we have is to listen to  Simon Sinek The power of Why . . "People don't buy (or use) what you do, they buy (or use) why you do it."

So why these bugs and not other bugs? Where are the documentation details for the user who wants to do "the log rotation of the condor_schedd on Linux platforms", uses a previous version and wonders why it does not work?.

Does version 8.2.6 improves the HTCondors quality of life?

Cheers,

Miha
