We are pleased to announce the availability of Slurm release candidate
20.02.0rc1.
This is the first release candidate for the upcoming 20.02 release
series, and marks the finalization of the RPC and state file formats.
This rc1 also includes the first version of the Slurm REST API, as
implemented in the new slurmrestd command / daemon. The slurmrestd
command acts as a REST proxy to the libslurm internal API, and can be
used alongside the new auth/jwt authentication mechanism to integrate
Slurm into external systems.
A high-level overview of some of the new features and other changes in
the 20.02 release was presented at SLUG'19, and is archived here:
https://slurm.schedmd.com/publications.html
The Release Notes also include a summary of the major changes:

If any issues are identified with this new release candidate, please
report them through https://bugs.schedmd.com against the 20.02.x version
and we will address them before the first production 20.02.0 release is
made.
A preview of the updated documentation can be found at
https://slurm.schedmd.com/archive/slurm-master/ . Once 20.02 is
released, the main documentation page at https://slurm.schedmd.com will
be switched over to this newer content.
Slurm can be downloaded from https://www.schedmd.com/downloads.php .
