[HTCondor-world] HTCondor 8.5.7 Released

[Tim Theisen <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The HTCondor team is pleased to announce the release of HTCondor 8.5.7.
This development series release contains new features that are under
development. This release contains all of the bug fixes from the 8.4.9
stable release.

Enhancements in the release include:
- The schedd can perform job ClassAd transformations
- Specifying dependencies between DAGMan splices is much more flexible
- The second argument of the ClassAd ? : operator may be omitted
- Many usability improvements in condor_q and condor_status
- condor_q and condor_status can produce JSON, XML, and new ClassAd output
- To prepare for a 64-bit Windows release, HTCondor identifies itself as X86
- Automatically detect Daemon Core daemons and pass localname to them

NOTE: Omitting the second argument of the ? : ClassAd operator is not
backward compatible. HTCondor version 8.5.7 or later must be present.

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