[OOD-users] Open OnDemand 1.6.17 patch release now available

[Franz, Eric]

We have released a 1.6.17 patch release with the following bug fixes:

- Fix recursive copy of directories on Lustre file systems.
- Generate a checksum file when running `update_ood_portal` to avoid
  overwriting the Apache config `ood-portal.conf` if the file contains
  manual modifications
- Fix exit codes for `update_ood_portal` script. Before if there was no
  change required to apply to Apache config, the script would exit with
  status 1, which caused some issues. Now the script always returns 0 if
  it runs without error. If the new --detailed-exitcodes flag is passed,
  the exit status will be 3 if the Apache config is replaced, 4 if
  changes are skipped because of manual modifications to the Apache
  config, and 0 if there are no changes.
- Depend on system git instead of rh-git29 which is an EOL SCL
- Fixed bug where user's login shell was always set to Bash inside
  desktop sessions
- Fixed issue in Dashboard where older browsers (IE) could not connect
  to VNC sessions [ood-dashboard](https://github.com/OSC/ood-dashboard/issues/479)
- Upgrade all core apps to use latest version of jQuery

If you use Lustre, please let us know if you still experience problems
doing recursive copies of directories after upgrading to 1.6.17.

To upgrade from 1.6.7:

    sudo yum update ondemand
