==== CL 11260 ====
@NEW: add Python/Perl API access to the new "timecumulative" subjob and work data
==== CL 11257 ====
@NEW: add support to the data warehouse for the new "cumulative time" instance and work columns
==== CL 11254 ====
@NEW: added ReadMe.rtf for the osx supervisor installer, so that the person installing the supervisor is made aware of the upgrade potentially taking a long time to complete.
==== CL 11247 ====
@NEW: add tracking of cumulative time spent in the "running" state for subjobs (instances) and work (agenda items), stored as an additional DB field in the Nsubjob and Nwork tables.
These values are computed by taking the elapsed number of seconds since the last start time of the instance/work, and then multiplying it by the number of actual job slots occupied by the instance, as dictated by the "host.processors" reservation.
JIRA: QUBE-124, QUBE-125
==== CL 11240 ====
@NEW: add support for job tags to the data warehouse schema
==== CL 11237 ====
@NEW:qb.query module's jobinfo function now accepts a "where" argument that will pass through a mysql "where" statement (without the "where" word). Example: where="name like 'foo' OR user like 'foo'"

@INTERNAL: also cleaned up some Win32 automount code.

==== CL 11201 ====
@NEW: add DB conversion scripts (to add new subjob table columns introduced in 6.5, DB version 32) that run when the rpm/pkg/msi supe installer runs, to provide forward-compatibility for old (pre-6.5) job/subjob data
JIRA: QUBE-119
==== CL 11200 ====
@TWEAK:Minor Python API change: You can now create an empty qb.Job()
==== CL 11190 ====
@CHANGE: added "enable_windows_job_object" flag, and deprecated "disable_windows_job_object"
The "disable_windows_job_object" flag is silently ignored. Windows Job
Objects are always disabled now, unless the job explictly specifies
otherwise with the new "enable_windows_job_object" flag.

==== CL 11127 ====
@FIX: editing supevisor config with WranglerView->Admin->Configure causes the 'submit_job' privilege to be removed from supervisor_default_security
@CHANGE: Admin->Display Config (local) changed to Admin->Display Running Config, shows supervisor and/or worker running config if these services are running locally
@CHANGE: Admin->Configure (Local) changed to Admin->Configure Local Host
@INTERNAL: add all supervisor and worker flag values to qb.utils.flags, now used directly by configuration dialog, instead of the config dlg items being order-dependent. Allows for sorting configuratin dialog items alphabetically for ease of use.
@NEW: Admin->Configure Local Host now creates a timestamped backup of the qb.conf file in the same location as the original
@NEW: Admin->Configure Local Host is now disabled on Windows and Linux if not invoked by root (linux) or Admin-equivalent (Windows)
@COSMETIC: File->Install AppUI menu items now sorted alphabetically

* supervisor_default_p_agenda_priority
* supervisor_default_pgrp_subjob_limit
* supervisor_default_priority

* supervisor_job_flags
* supervisor_max_priority
* supervisor_p_agenda_max
* supervisor_pgrp_subjob_limits
* supervisor_user_subjob_limits

JIRA: QUBE-90
==== CL 10927 ====
@FIX: changed the initial state of a newly dispatched instance on a worker to "running" instead of "pending", so that early calls to qbjobobject() in the back-end code will return "running" as the job's status
JIRA: QUBE-45
