[HTCondor-users] HTCondor 8.5.6 Released

[Tim Theisen <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The HTCondor team is pleased to announce the release of HTCondor 8.5.6.
This development series release contains new features that are under
development. This release contains all of the bug fixes from the 8.4.8
stable release.

Enhancements in the release include:
- The -batch output for condor_q is now the default
- Python bindings for job submission and machine draining
- Numerous Docker usability changes
- New options to limit condor_history results to jobs since last invocation
- Shared port daemon can be used with high availability and replication
- ClassAds can be written out in JSON format
- More flexible ordering of DAGMan commands
- Efficient PBS and SLURM job monitoring
- Simplified leases for grid universe jobs

NOTE: condor_q now requires authenticated read access to the schedd.
If different authentication methods are configured for read versus write,
you may need to adjust your configuration.
The default HTCondor configuration does not have this issue.

A complete list of new features and fixed bugs can be found in the version
history.
