We are pleased to announce the availability of Slurm version 22.05.8.

This includes a number of minor to moderate bug fixes, including a 
regression when updating unsorted NodeName and NodeAddr lists, and an 
issue when upgrading from 21.08 with job_env or job_script set in 
AccountingStoreFlags.

> ==========================

>     connnection failing.

>     with NodeAddr and/or NodeHostname if the specified nodelist wasn't sorted.
>  -- openapi/v0.0.38 - change type of nice field for job submissions to integer
>     from string.
>  -- openapi/v0.0.38 - add oversubscribe option to job submission properties.
>  -- openapi/v0.0.38 - fix incorrect data used to populate "time/start" field
>     for jobs.
>  -- openapi/dbv0.0.38 - avoid dumping failure if preempt qos with level 0 is
>     provided by slurmdbd query.
>  -- Avoid an fd leak when lib dir for sbcast fails to be created.
>  -- common/slurmdbd_pack - fix env and script hash when unpacking a 21.08
>     dbd_job_start_msg_t.
