0.1 Mon Feb 18 12:10:31 2002
First release.
0.2 Wed Apr 03 10:03:25 2002
Second release. Includes LSF::JobManager
0.21 Thu Apr 04 10:40:57 2002
Simplified the test suite. A couple of things have been superceeded by the
addition of LSF::JobManager (and i still need to write a proper test suite)
0.3 Thu Apr 04 17:20:55
Now checks the version of LSF at startup. If it is version 4 then the
stdout/stderr of the bsub command is swapped. Required module System2 has
problems when called in a BEGIN block so i have switched to IPC::Run
0.4 Sun Apr 08 19:53:02
Errors can now be thrown via the RaiseError directive / class method.
The printing of the LSF command line stdout / stderr is separated out
and controlled by the PrintOutput and PrintError directives / class methods
0.5 Fri Jul 19 11:05:17
LSF::JobInfo is now defunct. The information obtained from the bjobs
command is expunged from the LSF logs far too quickly to be reliably
available in a long running batch environment. Replacing it is
LSF::JobHistory which calls and parses the bhist command.
Removed the jobs_with_status method from the LSF::JobManager module since
this didn't have a good rationale behind it and the exit status is now
obtainable from the LSF::JobHistory object.
Added a clear method to the LSF::JobManager class so that the jobs in a
job manager can be cleared and it can be reused.
Added a history method to the LSF::Job class so that an LSF::JobHistory
object can be obtained for a job.
Removed the info method from the LSF::Job class
The LSF::JobManager->wait_all_children method now uses LSF::JobHistory to
pre-cache the results of the bhist command for each job. There are hugely
significant performance benefits to calling a single bhist command line for
all jobs as opposed to once for each job.
