===== Errata / Known bugs =====
  * The installation page of the documentation (or the INSTALL file in the sources) shipped with OAR 2.5.6 lacks some information about the SSH keys setup for the oar user. The [[http://oar.imag.fr/docs/2.5/admin/installation.html|online documentation]] was updated, please refer to it (SSH setup sections).
  * Externally developed tools using the ''oarstat --gantt'' command may need adapting because the output format changes with the improvements which the release provides.
