We are pleased to announce the availability of Slurm version 20.11.4.

This includes a workaround for a broken glibc version that erroneously 
prints a long-double value of 0 as "nan", which can corrupt Slurm's 
association state files.

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