For the full list of all changes for each release see closed milestones.
#1848: Automatic stalled-suite detection, a "stalled" event hook, and an option to abort (shutdown) if stalled.
#1850: Much reduced CPU loading in cycling suites that have progressed far beyond their initial cycle point (cache recent points to avoid continually iterating from the start).
#1836: New gscan.rc file to
configure the initial state of cylc gpanel and cylc gscan (e.g. which
columns to display).
#1849: New configuration options for
the gcylc GUI, e.g. to set the initial window size.
#1863: Report tasks added or removed by a suite reload.
#1844: Allow client commands from another suite's task (these would previously load the passphrase for the parent suite rather than the target suite).
#1866: Allow explicitly unset
intervals in cylc config files, e.g. execution timeout = # (nothing).
#1863: Fixed a recent bug (since in 6.10.0) causing shutdown on reload of a suite after removing a task and its runtime definition.
#1864: Stronger checks to prevent users starting a second instance of a suite that is already running.
#1869: Fixed day-of-week cycling.
#1858: Fixed a recent bug (since 6.10.1) that could prevent a task at suite start-up from submitting even though its prerequisites were satisfied.
#1855: Allow inserted tasks to be
released to the waiting immediately, even if the suite is currently quiet.
#1854: Restore wildcards to allow insertion of multiple tasks at once (inadvertently disallowed at 6.10.0).
#1853: Fixed a recent bug (since 6.10.1): reset task outputs to incomplete on manually retriggering or resetting to a pre-run state.
#1839: gcylc - fix for occasional
locked-up blank GUI window at start-up (since 6.8.0, Jan 2016).
#1841: gcylc tree view - fix for
excessive CPU load when displaying large suites (since 6.10.0).
#1838: Fix for the suite timeout event timer not resetting on task activity (since 6.10.0).
#1835: Suite reload - reload all tasks at once (previously, current active tasks were reloaded only when they finished, which could result in reloads appearing to take a long time).
#1833: gcylc - initial task state
filtering configurable via the gcylc.rc config file.
#1826: Prevent tasks becoming immune to change by suite reload after being orphaned by one reload (i.e. removed from the suite) then re-inserted after another.
#1804: PBS job name length - truncate
to 15 characters by default, but can now be configured in global.rc for PBS
13+, which supports longer names.
#1769, #1809, #1810, #1811, #1812, #1813, #1819: Suite daemon efficiency and memory footprint - significant improvements!
#1777: Faster validation of suites with large inter-dependent families. See also #1791.
#1743: Improved event handling: flexible handlers, built-in email handlers, execute event handlers asynchronously, general suite event handlers.
#1729: gcylc - The File -> Open
dialog can now connect to suites running on other scanned hosts.
#1821: Right-click on a cycle-point
in the gcylc text tree view to operate on all tasks at that cycle point.
#1714: Further improvements to Jinja2 error reporting.
#1755: Pyro-3.16 is now packaged with
with cylc and has been modified to reduce the overhead of repeated calls to
socket.gethost*. We will eventually replace it with a new client/server
communications layer.
#1807: Dropped support for detaching (or manual completion) tasks.
#1805: gcylc - corrected the suite
hold/release button state during active suite reloads.
#1802: Do not unregister running
suites or assume that the argument of cylc unregister is a pattern.
#1800: Print a sensible error message for a suite graph section with a zero-width cycling interval.
#1791: Documented how to write suites with efficient inter-family triggering.
#1789: Fixed a bug causing high CPU
load in large suites with queued tasks present.
#1788: Fixed a bug that could occasionally result in missing entries in suite run databases.
#1784: Corrected and improved the advice printed at start-up on how to see if a suite is still running.
#1781: Fixed a bug that could disable the right-click menu for some tasks after enabling a filter.
#1768: Client commands like cylc broadcast can now be invoked by tasks on remote hosts that do not share a
filesystem with the suite host.
#1763: Remote tasks now load the right suite passphrase even if a locally registered suite has the same name.
#1762: Fixed polling of jobs submitted to loadleveler (broken since 6.8.1).
#1816, #1779: Allow task names that contain family names after a hyphen.
