[slurm-users] Slurm version 22.05.5 is now available

[Tim Wickberg]

We are pleased to announce the availability of Slurm version 22.05.5.

This fixes a number of moderate severity issues, alongside one 
unfortunate problem with the upgrade process for running jobs with the 
slurmstepd when using RPM-based installations. Please see Jason Booth's 
email the slurm-users mailing list for further details, and ways to 
mitigate this problem:
