[1.2.0] - 2020-06-17

Added

  • Enabled Sarus to print log messages from the OCI Hooks
  • Better documentation for ABI Compatibility here
  • Added User Guide section about running MPI applications without the MPI hook. See here
  • Added documentation about requiring Linux kernel >= 3.0 and util-linux >= 2.20
  • Added AddressSanitizer CI job

Changed

  • The glibc Hook is no longer activated by default, unless the --mpi option is used. To activate it explicitly, the new --glibc option of sarus run can be used. See here
  • Using OCI annotations instead of environment variables to pass information to hooks. It is an internal change, transparent to users, moving towards OCI Hooks independence from Sarus
  • Most of the Environment Variables for Hooks were renamed. Sarus Administrators should check the new names in the respective hook documentation pages
  • OCI MPI Hook will now enable MPI "backwards" library injections, issuing a warning. More details here
  • Improved the retrieval of image manifests from remote registries to better leverage the OCI Distribution specification
  • Removed the explicit use of the autoclear option when loop-mounting squashfs images. Explicit use of the option causes a failure on
    Linux kernels >= 5.4. The autoclear option is still set implicitly by the mount system utility since June 2011 for kernels > 2.6.37.
  • Updated Spack packages and installation instructions
  • Updated documentation about the NVIDIA Container Toolkit. See here
  • The SSH and Slurm global sync hooks now use configurable paths for their resources and are no longer dependant on Sarus-specific directories
  • Reviewed and updated documentation about runtime security checks. See here
  • Several improvements to the Continuous Integration workflow

Fixed

  • Fixed bug on OCI MPI Hook which failed to run containers having multiple versions of an MPI Dependency library
  • Runtime security checks no longer fail if a checked path does not exist
  • Fixed setting of default bind propagation values for custom mounts
  • Fixed parsing of authentication challenges from the NVIDIA GPU Cloud registry
  • Fixed the ability to pull images from the Quay.io registry

Security

  • Compiling now with -fstack-protector-strong as a measure against buffer overflows
