ARC 15.03 update 10
Description
The Advanced Resource Connector (ARC) middleware is an Open Source software solution to enable distributed computing infrastructures with the emphasis on processing large volumes of data. ARC provides an abstraction layer over computational resources, complete with input and output data movement functionalities. The security model of ARC is identical to that of Grid solutions, relying on delegation of user credentials and the concept of Virtual Organisations. ARC also provides client tools, as well as API in C++, Python and Java.
Release notes
This is a minor release, introducing new features and addressing bugs discovered since release 15.03u9. The release includes all recent developments up until now excluding only those that would result in backward incompatabilities. For these a major release is expected in the beginning of next year.
Note that from next major release we will not continue support for EL5 and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. This is a consequence of significant code changes when implementing OpenSSL 1.1.0 in ARC needed for continued support of Fedora, which as of Fedora 25 moves to OpenSSL 1.1.0. In general, support of OpenSSL versions lower than 1.0.0 will be dropped. In addition legacy proxies will not be supported starting with the next major release.
NorduGrid ARC 15.03 has received an update to:
- core, clients, CE, Infosys and gridftp - from version 5.1.3 to 5.2.0
- documents - from 2.0.9 to 2.0.11
Nagios plugins, CAnL C++ and metapackages are unchanged.
See the release notes for details.
