1=========== 4.3.6
2 * Modified sara_nodes.py and new_rack_pbsmon.py so:
3   - We using argparse instead of OptionParser
4   - Changed the print statement to an print function which will work with Python 2.5+
5   - Removed module PBSAdvancedParser.py

8=========== 4.3.5
9 * PBSQuery bugfix, parsing of node status line with multiple EVENT: settings
10   was wrong
11   Author: Bas van der Vlies
12
13 * Added an example how to make use of the EVENT status message:
14    - examples/pbs_script.sh
15   Author: Bas van der Vlies
16
17 * implemented __nonzero__ for PBS dictionary, closes #33, eg:
18    status = getjob(id)
19    if status:
20        do something
21    else:
22        no job
23  Author: Bas van der Vlies
24
25 * PBSQuery bugfix. getjob() can now handle short jobname, eg:
26    * p.getjob('6073545')
27
28   Author: Willem Vermin (SARA) & Bas van der Vlies
29
30 * added an example: pbs_jobmonitor shows the output of top
31   -u user on the node
32    - one cycle of top
33    - user: the user the job belongs to
34
35   renamed as pbs_joblogin logs in to the node as the user
36   who invokes this script (os.getenv('USER'))

228
229=========== 3.5.0
230  * PBSQuery
231        The class functions of node, job and queue support old and new data
232        structure.
233
234        Changed the behaviour of the new data stucture, We can use it as
235        dictionary and as class attribute, this is equivalent, eg:
236          - print node['np'] and print node.np
237
238        for a node we parse the 'status' line and split on '=' char, You now can
239        use these statements, eg
240          - print node.status.arch     (node['status'].arch or node['status']['arch'])
241          - print node.status.nsession
242
243        for a job we parse the 'Variable_List' line and split on '=' char, You now can
244        use the statements, eg:
245          - print job.Variable_List.PBS_O_WORKDIR
246          - print job.Variable_List.PBS_O_HOME
247
248        For more info see examples/new_interface.py

250    Author: Bas van der Vlies
251
252 * new_rack_pbsmon.py
253        Rewrite to new data structure and automatically determine how many nodes
254        and racks cluster has and skip printing of empty racks (default), use -w/--wide
255        for old behaviour.

258
259
260=========== 3.2.0
261        - PBSQuery:
262          New data structure. In the old structure it is a dictionary
263          with a value and the value is a string. This is changed
264          that dictionary values are now of type list or dictionary depends
265          on the value of the keyword, eg for a node:
266            - np = 2:
267              * node['np'] = [ '2' ] 
268
269            - properties = cores2, mem4gb, parallel
270              * node['properties'] = [ 'cores2', 'mem4gb', 'parallel' ]
271
272            - status = arch=x86_64,sessions=22599,,size=70627864kb, ...
273              * node['status']['arch'] = [ 'x86_64' ]
274              * node['status']['sessions'] = [ '222599' ]
275              * ...
276
277         The data structure is activated by the function:
278          * new_data_structure()
279
280        In a future release it will be come the default.
281        example:
282                p = PBSQuery()
283                p.new_data_structure()
284
285                nodes = p.getnodes()
286                print nodes.np, nodes['np']
287
288        Author: Bas van der Vlies
289
290        - PBSQuery
291          For old and new data structure we now can use another syntax:
292           * node['np'] and node.np are equivalent
293
294          This new syntax works for all keywords.
295
296        Author: Bas van der Vlies
297
298        - Added iter object for job, node, queue and server objects, eg:
299          node = p.getnode('gb-r1n1')
300          print node.name
301          for attrib in node:
302                print '%\t%s = %s' %(attrib, node[attrib])
303        Author: Bas van der Vlies
304
305        - fixed an error in getnode, getqueue and getjob, return empty
306          dictionary if not found
307        Author: Bas van der Vlies
308       
309        - New build system for rpm packages, make -f Makefile.rpm

317                Reported By: sam @ vpac dot org
318                Fixed by: Bas van der Vlies
319
320=========== 3.0.0
321        - PBSQuery
322                * Cleaned up some old lines of code which didn't do anything.
323                * Changed the returnvalue of getqueue, getnode and getjob. Now
324                  they return an instance of the object, instead of a dict.
325                  This is API change so we bumped the version to 3.0.0
326                * Now the getnode-function accepts the short name as well as
327                  the long name as an argument.
328

363                   - get all nodes with property 'cores2' and only return the
364                     attributes 'state' and 'properties':
365                      attrl = [ 'state', 'properties' ]
366                      getnodes_with_property('cores2', attrl)
367

480Fixed an error the previous version was in DEBUG mode. So
481you get an lot undesired output on the screen.
482
483debian package now also generated a package with the write
484version info.
485
486=========== Version 2.7.8
487
488Setup.py:
489        Can also handle ROCKS installations + the version
490        info is now the same as pbs.py
491        Thanks to: Roy Dragseth
492
493=========== Version 2.7.7
494
495PBSQuery module:
496  It can now be used in daemon programs. The pbs_server closes
497  the connection after an certain amount of time. This is fixed,
498  before every query there is an new connection and if the query
499  is finished the connection is closed.
500 
501=========== Version 2.7.6
502
503Now setup.py can also handle old Oscar Installations.
504Thanks To: Robin Humble
505
506Fixed an print statement fix in new_interface.py:
507Thanks To: Robin Humble
508
509Made some improvements for PBSQuery module:
510        - Updated the documentation
511        - Added the has_key() function to all
512          PBSObjects. So that the behaviour is similar to
513          an dictionary
514          Suggested By: Ramon Bastiaans
515       
516=========== Version 2.7.5
517 Added PBSQuery module.  This module requires pbs.py and it a simple module
518 for querying the pbs server. The documentation is in the module. Use for
519 example ipython to read it.

542
543 Added Support for Debuging the interface, You must edit pbs_wrap.c
544 and search for SARA_DEBUG:
545        #define SARA_DEBUG 1
546 Implemented by: Ramon Bastiaans
547
548 examples/pbsmon.py:
549        - Fixed an error when regex fails to determine node number,
550          no status was displayed
551        - It will now display and 'j' if the node is free for the batch
552          system and a job runs on the node (SMP-systems).
553 Changed by: Bas van der Vlies
554
555 examples/rack_pbsmon.py:
556        - An pbsmon that display node info per rack
557        - Edit the rack_pbsmon.py to adjust the values. It requires
558          that hostname contains rack and node id's,
559          eg: gb-r<number>n<number>

561
562=========== Version 2.7.3
563 The name SPBS is changed to the new name TORQUE (Tera-scale Open-source
564 Resource and QUEing manager).
565
566 The interface support OPENPBS and TORQUE.
567
568=========== Version 2.7.2
569 Some minor changes to include files. Now the Scalable PBS keywords
570 are also supported ( server attribute names: node_ping_rate and
571 node_check_rate). This does not interfere with the openpbs software.
572
573 pbsmon.py could not handle an one node cluster. Fixed it.
574
575=========== Version 2.7
576 Forgot to wrap the pbs_statfree() function. So we could not free
577 allocated memory from functions that return 'struct batch_status *'
578 like pbs_statjob().
579
580 pbsmon.py can now handle 2 and 3 digit hostnames. Patch supplied by
581 Daniel Olson
582
583=========== Version 2.6.1
584 Setup.py now checks if all openpbs libraries are installed to compile the
585 package.
586
587=========== Version 2.6
588
589 Fixed a bug in the pbs python module. Forgot to map the pbs_statjob()
590 function. This bug prevented to pass 'struct attrl' variables to this
591 function. Thanks to Evelyn Shiu for reporting this bug.
592
593
594=========== Version 2.5
595 Added the OpenPbs logging functions (log.h and liblog.a). There
596 is an example in the examples directory: logpbs.py
597
598 Fixed a bug in examples/resmom_info.py used the default port for
599 pbs_resmon if getservbyname fails.
600
601 Fixed a bug in resmom code. If the user has no permissions to query
602 the pbs_mom daemon a empty string is returned. Now we check for
603 the empty string. So we do not get a python exception.
604
605 Fixed a bug in setup.py forgot the exit statement when we did not
606 find the pbs libraries.
607
608=========== Version 2.3
609 Bugfix in the pbsnodes-a.py. Forgot to import the sys module.
610
611 Removed some obsolete code.
612
613 As for now we make use of the distutils module. So the package
614 is automatically compiled and installed in proper directories, usage:
615    python setup.py install
616 This requires that the package 'distutils' must be installed. As for
617 version 1.6 and higher it is in the distribution.
618
619 Added a function that prints the pbs python interface version. So we
620 can check if we have the right interface version:
621 import pbs
622 print pbs.version()
623 
624
625=========== Version 2.2
626
627In this release we can query the pbs_mom daemon with the aid of
628resource management functions:
629   pbs.openrm()
630   pbs.closerm()
631   pbs.downrm()
632   pbs.configrm()
633   pbs.addreq()
634   pbs.allreq()
635   pbs.flushreq()
636   pbs.activereq()
637   pbs.fullresp()
638   pbs.getreq()
639
640There is also a python function:
641   pbs.get_mom_values(id, [list]):
642     id   - connection id of pbs.openrm(node-name, port-number)
643     list - Is a optional paramter. A list of resource keywords
644
645   If 'list' is not supplied then this function will get the values
646   for the standard resource keywords, eg uname, loadave, .. + 'arch'
647   depended keywords. The arch feature is only implemented for linux,
648   but it can easily be ported to other oses.
649
650   if 'list' is supplied then we only fetch values for the keywords
651   that are in the list.
652
653   The function returns a dictonary. The keys are the resource keywords.
654
655   See 'resmom_info.py' for a example of this new feature.
656
657=========== Version 2.0
658
659The previous version was a simple interface above the PBS C API LIB.  This
660interface has gone a major changes. The most noticeable change is  that
661the functions accept/return Python lists instead of C-lists.  So you can now
662use standard Python syntax for manipulating Python lists. If you are familar
663with the Python syntax then you will appreciate this new interface.
664
665NOTE:
666  This interface is NOT compatible with the old one
667
668Here are some guidelines to convert your code to the new one:
669
670The constructors for the struct has gone a major change:
671  old code:
672    temp = pbs.new_attrl();
673    attrl_p = pbs.attrlPtr(temp)
674    attrl_p.name = 'state'
675
676  new_code:
677     attr_l = pbs.new_attrl(1)   // Creates a list of attrl structs length 1
678     attr_l[0].name = 'state'
679
680
681The pbs_stat functions returns Python lists instead of C-lists. There is
682NO next field anymore:
683  old_code:
684    temp = pbs.new_attrl();
685    attrl_p = pbs.attrlPtr(temp)
686    attrl_p.this = 'NULL'
687
688    nodes = pbs.pbs_statnode(con, "", attrl_p, "NULL")
689
690    while nodes.this != 'NULL':
691      print nodes.name
692
693      node_attrl = nodes.attribs
694      while node_attrl.this != 'NULL':
695        print '\t', node_attrl.name, '=', node_attrl.value
696        node_attrl = node_attrl.next
697
698    nodes = nodes.next
699
700
701  new_code:
702    nodes = pbs.pbs_statnode(con, "", "NULL", "NULL")
703    for node in nodes:
704      print node.name
705      for attrib in node.attribs:
706        print '\t', attrib.name, '=', attrib.value
707
708Another advantage is you can use the print statement to show the
709connect of attrl and attropl classes:
710   attr_l = pbs.new_attrl(2)
711   attr_l[0].name = 'bas'
712   attr_l[0].value = 'van der Vlies'
713
714   print  attr_l[0]
715   >> (bas,,van der Vlies)
716   
717I hope these examples illustrate the changes. If you specify a wrong type
718for a function then function wil raise a Python exception.
