-- Optimization enhancements for partition based job preemption.
-- Address some build warnings from GCC 7.1, and one possible memory leak if

-- Fix issue where the slurmstepd would fatal on job launch if you have no
gres listed in your slurm.conf but some in gres.conf.

-- Gracefully handle race condition when reading /proc as process exits.
-- Avoid error on Cray duplicate setup of core specialization.
-- Skip over undefined (hidden in Slurm) nodes in pbsnodes.
-- Add empty hashes in perl api's slurm_load_node() for hidden nodes.
-- CRAY - Add rpath logic to work for the alpscomm libs.
-- Fixes for administrator extended TimeLimit (job reason & time limit reset).
-- Fix gres selection on systems running select/linear.
-- sview: Added window decorator for maximize,minimize,close buttons for all
