[OOD-users] Announcing Open OnDemand 1.0

[Basil Mohamed Gohar]

We are happy to announce the release of Open OnDemand 1.0.  We are 
introducing versioning to present Open OnDemand in a more cohesive 
fashion with known-compatible versions of the various components that 
work together and have a defined set of features. Subsequently, the 
latest versions of all components have been updated in the 
ood-apps-installer script and it is now tagged as v1.0.0 to match the 
Open OnDemand release version.

This new version scheme will allow us to:

  * Release new features in Open OnDemand more frequently
  * Better communicate feature development & delivery in a roadmap
  * Give the ability to install older versions and access appropriate
    documentation
  * Tag the versions of each component of Open OnDemand that are known
    to work well together


    Release Highlights

Highlights in this version include:

  * Resource Managers
      o Support for PBSPro
      o Support for LSF 9.1 (partial)
  * Apps
      o Support for interactive apps via batch connect plugins and
        installation instructions for the Desktops interactive app

We are interested in adding support for popular apps like Jupyter, 
RStudio, COMSOL Server, MATLAB, Paraview, ANSYS, and Abaqus, so if you 
are interested, please contact us.  We want to work with you to help 
develop generic support for these apps and more to roll into supported 
versions of Open OnDemand.
