OAR 2.5.1 release

The first stable release of the 2.5.x series is out.

Installation instructions | Upgrading issues | Repository list | Changelog.

A lot of work has been done between the branches 2.4.x and 2.5.x. Among them:

A lot of improvements and optimization of the RestFull API

OAR 2.5 provides a Restfull API to submit/query/administrate the batch scheduler. The API now implements pagination and uses FastCGI for better performance.

A better installation procedure

The source code has been reorganized and the installation scripts have been improved to ease both the installation process and the packaging maintenance. OAR can be now installed on the Debian/Redhat like operating systems with the same procedure. And supporting another system should be easy (provided that the system fullfill the needed dependencies).
