== News

Accounting tests vs APEL are finished, but SGAS part needs to be debugged still (Erik and Jens installed the new accounting). 

WLCG site survey has been conducted: all Tier1s run (or will run) HTCondor except for NDGF, most Tier2 are also going to deploy HTCondor. Very few sites run SLURM.

Cloudbursting exercises in various places (not ARC-related): unclear how to send accounting reports to APEL from such resources.


== Development plans

Some ideas for short-term (ARC6.,x) and long-term (ARC7)

* ARC6: finish polishing all rough corners; REST finalisation, incl. anonymous access to monitoring info; finish DTR info in gangliarc

* ARC7: controldir restructuring (perhaps even for ARC6);new authentication (token-based); data staging engine; "do something" (sic) with the client, maybe for Android; DevOps/NoOps containerised ARC deployment


== Bugs

* 3846 is NEW since July, assignee will be reminded
* The SGAS bug in new accounting won't be reported
* Splitting of globus plugins: still work in progress
* 3875 still needs checking, also 3871 (both on logrotate)
 

== Next release

Release manager will create a new GitLab tracker with planned dates
