[HTCondor-world] HTCondor 8.9.8 Released

[Tim Theisen <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The HTCondor team is pleased to announce the release of HTCondor 8.9.8.
This development series release contains new features that are under
development. This release contains all of the bug fixes from the 8.8.10
stable release.

NOTE: Users can no longer use the condor_qedit command to disrupt the
operations of the condor_schedd.

NOTE: The SHARED_PORT_PORT setting is now honored. If you are using
a non-standard port on machines other than the Central Manager, this
bug fix will require a configuration change in order to specify
the non-standard port.

Enhancements in the release include:
- Added htcondor.dags and htcondor.htchirp to the HTCondor Python bindings
- New condor_watch_q tool that efficiently provides live job status updates
- Added support for marking a GPU offline while other jobs continue
- The condor_master command does not return until it is fully started
- Deprecated several Python interfaces in the Python bindings

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