>  -- Fix initialization of assoc_mgr_locks and slurmctld_locks lock structures.
>  -- Fix segfault with job arrays using X11 forwarding.
>  -- Revert regression caused by e0ee1c7054 which caused negative values and

>     TRESBillingWeight.
>  -- Fix possibility to update a job's reservation to none.
>  -- Suppress connection errors to primary slurmdbd when backup dbd is active.

>  -- Disable reporting of node TRES in sreport.
>  -- Re-enabling features combined by OR within parenthesis for non-knl setups.
