[HTCondor-world] HTCondor 8.1.2 Released

[Tim Theisen <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The HTCondor Team is pleased to announce the release of HTCondor
version 8.1.2.  This development release contains all the bug fixes
from the stable release version 8.0.4.

Major new features include:
 - Partitionable slots can now be split into dynamic slots at
   negotiation time using new consumption policies.
 - New condor_chirp commands permit updates to job ClassAd attributes to
   occur in a delayed fashion, reducing the overhead of making the
   update.
 - There are many Python binding improvements including a new Negotiator
   class.
 - condor_ssh_to_job now works for grid universe jobs on amazon EC2
   resources.
 - New command line options for condor_config_val and condor_history
   allow them to query remote machines.
 - Increased the scalability of the condor_shared_port daemon,
   condor_queue, and condor_status by increasing concurrency.

See the Version History for a complete list of changes.
