[slurm-announce] Slurm pre-release version 18.08.0pre2 available for testing

[Tim Wickberg]

We are pleased to announce the availability of Slurm pre-release version 
18.08.0pre2.

This is the second pre-release version of the upcoming 18.08 release 
series, and represents a working snapshot of recent developments. 
Interested parties are encouraged to test this out ahead of the RPC, 
ABI, and state file format freezes that will occur when the first 
release candidate is made available later next week.

If any issues are identified with this new pre-release, please report 
them through https://bugs.schedmd.com against the 18.08.x version and we 
will try to address them before the first release candidate is made 
available.

Please note that the pre-release versions are not indented for 
production use, and that the state file formats are still subject to 
change. As such, you should not expect to safely transition between the 
pre-release versions and the eventual release. This is intended for 
local testing, especially of unusual system configurations, ahead of the 
RPC freeze and the first production 18.08.0 release.

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