Advanced Resource Connector (ARC) version 0.6.5 is a bug fix release
for the ARC 0.6 series. Please consult
release
notes of ARC 0.6 for detailed product description.
Known issues
- Bug 1285 (users can overwrite cached files) was present in all earlier versions; the behavior is now avoided, but a proper fix is non-trivial and will be implemented later
- Bug 1300 (VOMS based user mapping with VOMS 1.8.9 packages causes segfault in RHEL4 x86_64) is non-trivial and is still open, as it appears to be limited to one particular combination of architecture, operating system and VOMS software, and can be avoided by e.g. downgrading VOMS.
