Description



VOMS
An updated documentation can be found here:
VOMS Core Services User Guide: https://edms.cern.ch/file/973684/1/voms-guide.pdf
VOMS Admin User Guide: https://edms.cern.ch/file/974094/1/voms-admin-user-guide.pdf
VOMS Installation and Configuration Guide: https://edms.cern.ch/file/974982/1/voms-installation-configuration-guide.pdf

Contains a fix for bug #38506 (Previous Predictable Order with --voms flags was lost.). Now the order of FQANs in the VOMS proxy follows the order in which FQANs are specified on the command line as values of the "-voms" options. This does _not_ apply to the shorthand "<voname>:/Role=<role>" syntax.

Developer changes:
New API added for the C and C++ APIs. VOMS_SetVerificationTim(time_t time).

As usually, except where noted, everything is backwards-compatible with previous version, both on the protocol level (i.e. client and server versions may be freely mixed) and ABI level (API libraries can be upgraded with newer versions without needing recompilation of the linking parties)

Please also have a look at the list of known issues.

This update fixes various bugs. For the full list of bugs, please see list below.
