[Taskforest-announce] TaskForest 1.24 is now available

[Aijaz A. <en...@us...>]

TaskForest version 1.24 is now available.  Please visit
http://www.taskforest.com for the most recent documentation as well as
instructions on how to download the software.

This release introduces the concept of tokens.  A token is a new kind of
dependency.  If a job depends on a token, it must acquire a free token
before it can run, or wait for another job to release a token after
completion.  Since there is a finite set of tokens, you can use tokens to
prevent too many jobs from running at the same time.

For example, if there are 20 jobs that rely on token T, but only 5 instances
of the token, only a maximum of 5 of those jobs may run at the same time.

This release also formalizes the way Families with foreign time zones are
handled.  This allows you to 'time shift' your family, essentially allowing
your family to run for 24 hours in a later timezone.  This shifts the end of
day towads the end of the family's running time.

Thanks,

Aijaz
