We are pleased to announce the availability of Slurm version 23.11.7.

The 23.11.7 release fixes a few potential crashes in slurmctld when using less common options on job submission, slurmrestd compatibility with auth/slurm, and some additional minor and moderate severity bugs.

Slurm can be downloaded from https://www.schedmd.com/downloads.php .

Also fix signaling a single pending array task (e.g. 1_10), which previously signaled the whole array job instead. -- Fix a possible slurmctld segfault when at some point we failed to create an external launcher step. -- Allow the slurmctld to open a connection to the slurmdbd if the first attempt fails due to a protocol error. -- mpi/cray_shasta - Fix launch for non-het-steps within a hetjob. -- sacct - Fix "gpuutil" TRES usage output being incorrect when using --units. -- Fix a rare deadlock on slurmctld shutdown or reconfigure. -- Fix issue that only left one thread on each core available when "CPUs=" is configured to total thread count on multi-threaded hardware and no other topology info ("Sockets=", "CoresPerSocket", etc.) is configured. -- Fix the external launcher step not being allocated a VNI when requested. -- jobcomp/kafka - Fix payload length when producing and sending a message. -- scrun - Avoid a crash if RunTimeDelete is called before the container finishes. -- Save the slurmd's cred_state while reconfiguring to prevent the loss job credentials.
