- don't use devices for which work is not being requested
- obey wu_is_infeasible_custom()
(e.g. don't send SETI@home VLAR jobs to GPUs)
- scheduler: add <debug_array_detail> log flag for slot-level messages
- admin web: show and allow control of app.beta
and non-CPU-intensive applications.
An app can be specified as non-CPU-intensive in project.xml,
and this attribute can be set or cleared using the admin web interface.
Note: support for this was added to the client in 2011,
but we didn't add server-side support at that time.
This change is in 6.12 and later clients.

Both are for use by project.
- job submission file sandbox: don't delete physical file
when delete sandbox entry.
We'll have to figure out how to garbage-collect physical files.
- LAMMPS job submission:
use the 50th-percentile host,not 0th

This reruns validation for instances that are successful
but marked as invalid or inconclusive.
Use this if you changed your validator to be more permissive,
and you want to grant credit for instances that were
originally marked as invalid.

lets an application report its network usage to BOINC,
and hence take it into account with monthly limits etc.
- API: get rid of deprecated boinc_ops_per_cpu_sec(),
boinc_ops_cumulative(), and
boinc_set_credit_claim();
- admin web: update manage_apps.php;
add the ability to set homogeneous app version

(in app, not client, which I don't understand) for Einstein@Home.

This now supports two main use cases:
1) there's a job that you want to run once on all hosts,
present and future
(or all hosts belonging to a user, or to a team).
The job is never transitioned, validated, or assimilated.
2) There's a normal job for which you want to use only
hosts belonging to a specific user (e.g. cluster or cloud hosts).
This restriction can be made either when the job is created,
or on the fly,
e.g. as part of a scheme for accelerating batch completion.
For the latter purposes we now provide a function
restrict_wu_to_user(DB_WORKUNIT&, int userid);
The job goes through the standard
transitioner/validator/assimilator path.
These cases are enabled by config flags
<enable_assignment_multi/>
<enable_assignment/>
respectively.
Assignment of type 2) are no longer stored in shared mem,
so there is no limit on their number.
There is no longer a rule that assigned job names must contain "asgn".
NOTE: this requires a database update.

in the presence of GPU exclusions.
The problem was in the job-selection phase,
which picks enough jobs to use all devices.
It was ignoring GPU exclusions, so for example on
a 2 GPU system it could pick 2 jobs from a project
for which 1 GPU is excluded,
and as a result 1 GPU would be idle.
Solution: during job selection,
keep track of GPU usage on a per-instance basis.
Select a job only if it can run on a non-excluded GPU.
- client: in computing ncprocs_excluded (which is used in
work fetch policy) don't count exclusions of non-existent devices

and other operations.
You can now designate a user as "manager" for a particular app.
They can then:
- control job-submit permissions for that app
- deprecate/undeprecate versions of the app.
- abort jobs for that app
You can also designate a user a manage for the project.
They can then edit permissions and quotas,
as well as performing the app-specific functions for all apps.
This is described here:

This required some changes to the DB schema.

is a "runtime outlier", i.e. its runtime does
not correspond to the job's rsc_fpops_est.
Runtime outliers are not counted in the statistics for
elapsed time, turnaround time, and peak FLOPs count.
The is intended for applications like SETI@home,
some of whose jobs finish more or less instantly
(this happens if the data contains a lot of interference).
If a host happens to get a bunch of these short jobs,
its statistics will get skewed: in essence, the server
will think that the host is extremely fast,
and will send it too many jobs.
