I am pleased to announce the release of BLCR 0.7.2. It has been available for a couple of days but my mailer appears to have eaten the original announcement. The 0.7.2 release is now available from the BLCR Downloads page: http://ftg.lbl.gov/CheckpointRestart/CheckpointDownloads.shtml Relative to 0.7.1, this release fixes several bugs. Support for 2.6.26 kernels (speculated on, but untested in 0.7.1) has also been verified. A more detailed list of changes appears below in the form of an excerpt from the NEWS file. -Paul PS You are receiving this either because you are on the checkpoint_at_lbl_dot_gov list, because you've recently sent email to the list (or me directly) asking about BLCR status, or because our Bugzilla shows your interests in a bug fixed in this release.
