== News

Balazs got an offer from a company to test ARC for free as a "pilot offer", but hesitates to accept it. On a related note, EMI-ES tests by Iana appear to have stalled for absence of a working EMI-ES server.

David made a patch for A-REX crashing issue: long-standing race condition in data staging deleting log objects but keeping references, refelcted in several bug reports, e.g. 3427. Seems to be holding for 2 weeks.

ATLAS@home introduced multicore jobs, but nr of cores is not known beforehand, while the count of cores is needed for accounting, so David hacked infoproviders (there are only requested slots, but no allocated slots in the nordugrid-schema, so this is now being overwritten in BOINC LRMS).

June digest is accepted.

WLCG switching to CRIS instead of BDII still causes confusion as to which BDII is getting retired, and what schema should be used. Site-BDII will probably stay, and hopefully a GLUE2 profile will get eventually developed.

Sites with HTCondor switch to HTCondor-CE, which might mean that ARC won't need to support HTCondor soon.


== Bugs

* 3562 - some work ongoing, still NEW
* 3568 - Aleksandr is on it, but it is still NEW
* 3579 - Aleksandr suggests to use sqlite, but David hesitates as it needs draining. Aleksandr suggests to make a conversion tool
* 3582 - no update, needs Martin
* 3573 - follow-up from Kosice
* 3574 - got fixed
* 3575 - Florido's todo
* 3577 - should be trivial
* 3578 - David discovered it recently
* 3581 - should not be a MAJOR, since it is a rare occurence and has trivial workarounds; the best solution will be to change documentation, as anything esle will cause backward incompatibiliy
