TaskForest-1.18

Changes for version 1.18

All of the changes in this release are related to the website. o Made sure that if a job file dies after the fork but before ceding control back to the wrapper, you can at least see its log, if it was run with run_with_log o The website now shows the log file for running jobs, not just jobs that have completed. o Fixed bug where marking a job as Success was not working after it had been marked as Failure o Moved mark and rerun forms to buttons on the status and logs tables o Changed website to a horizontal layout, so that we have the full window width for tables o Fixed a bug so that rerun jobs log files are displayed correctly on the web site. o Added 'Cache-Control: Public' HTTP response header to allow Firefox 3 to cache SSL pages which it does not do by default. This greatly improves website performance if you're using Firefox 3. Firefox 2 does not support the Cache-Control response header, so the website will be slower if you're using SSL and Firefox 2 or earlier. o Added the 'help' and 'about' documentation sections to the website.
