FirecREST release v1.16.1

[1.16.1]

Added

• Support for multiple JWT signature algorithms
• Added option to follow symbolic links in the POST /utilities/compress and POST /storage/xfer-internal/compress endpoints
• Added new "general" section to status/parameters describing FIRECREST_VERSION and FIRECREST_BUILD timestamp
• Environment variable F7T_HOME_ENABLED to set False if $HOME is not mounted on systems executing FirecREST commands
• Add support in the GET /compute/jobs endopint to poll for jobs of any user
• Environment variable F7T_LOG_KIBANA to enable/disable the JSON format log reporting, detected and parsed by Kibana, and the related Helm chart's annotations.

Changed

• SLURM scheduler now uses --export option for passing environment variables to a job.
• Variable F7T_REALM_RSA_PUBLIC_KEYS changed to F7T_AUTH_PUBLIC_KEYS.
• Variable F7T_REALM_RSA_TYPE_ changed to F7T_AUTH_ALGORITHMS.
• Added default values on helm charts.
• Upgrade requests library to version 2.32.0.
• System availability is tested using whoami instead of ls -l on a filesystem. Filesystem failures reported in status/systems/<SYSTEM> do not affect the availability of a system.
• Filesystem check is executed with the command ls -1f, skipping listing and sorting of entries.
• External transfers for S3v4 now uses boto3 version 1.36.8 instead of native calls to AWS S3 API

Fixed

• Fix parsing in GET /utilities/ls endpoint.
• The job fields job_data_out and job_file_err from GET /compute/jobs will be empty for jobs that are still pending (so that there is no confusion with older output/error files).
• Added retry on task creation workflow.
• Error message when $HOME is not mounted.
