The focus of this release has been on fixing bugs and on making the servers more well-performing and
stable under high load.

Detailed change log:

General:
 - improved start.sh scripts (check if process exists)
 - commented wsrflite.xml config file with important Jetty server settings
 - more reasonable defaults for Jetty server settings
 - default lifetimes configurable per-service (sf feature 2827890)
 - update to Jetty 6.1.19
 - fix configure.py when configuring for different install directory

Gateway:
 - disable gzip for gateway to server communication, as this seems
   to cause problems. Can be re-enabled by setting
   "http.connection.gzip=true" in gateway.properties


UNICORE/X:
 - improve throughput (e.g. by making job start by clients
   and the handling of status updates asynchronous)
 - fix path issues on Windows (sf bug 2836291)
 - fix resource reservation code (sf bug 2826567 and 2824841)
 - fix proxy support (sf bug 2830897)
 - fix "nooverwrite" problem (sf bug 2836752)
 - longer default termination times for jobs and storages
 - fix (Java TSI) state QUEUED instead of RUNNING (sf bug 2833039)
 - periodically defragment HSQL database (workaround for HSQL bug)

TSI:
 - SGE: allow exporting environment settings to the job (Submit.pm)
 - add module for Cray XT with Torque (contributed by Troy Baer)
 - allow to discard script output in ExecuteScript.pm


Thanks to all who helped build and test this release!

Best regards,
Bernd.
