Announcing Grid Engine version 5.3beta1

Grid Engine 5.3beta1 as mentioned here recently, is now ready. A corresponding source branch has been created and the binaries for all platforms we have access to have been compiled and are available from the download page.
Among other enhancements, Grid Engine 5.3beta1 provides the following improvements over the previous alpha1 version:
Please note, that the included documentation has not yet been brought up-to-speed. The man pages are probably the most accurate piece but still contain known defficiencies. You should also refer to the HOWTOs and the application notes for further viable information.

Please help us improve the quality of Grid Engine and use the beta version as early as possible in your Grid Engine cluster.

Still to come:

A beta2 phase will be coming in the January time-frame after further enhancements have been finished, added and tested. The final 5.3 release is tentatively planned for March/April 2002. Stay tuned!
