Release 1.9.0.

Important changes:
- Move scheduled cleanup from `check_arcce_monitor` to `check_arcce_clean`.
  As a consequence users may want to run `check_arcce_clean` at least once
  per every hour.
- Keep better track of the work done by `check_arcce_monitor` and
  `check_arcce_clean`. Try to bail out within a slotted time to avoid
  unclean exits and spurious Nagios alerts. Instead report on the progress
  and raise a warning or critical alerts if it seems like the probes are not
  keeping up.
- Clean up jobs from the local ARC job file which cannot be queried and
  which do not correspond to any active job.
- The operation of `check_arcce_monitor` can now be restricted to jobs for a
  certain CE and/or those having been created with a certain `--job-tag`.
  This should allow running one monitor service per CE and/or job type,
  though it has not been tested under Nagios.

Minor fixes:
- Remove execute bit and shebang from `arcce_igtf.py`.
- In `check_archostcert` consider certs unusable 2 days before expiration.
- Various timeouts have been adjusted or added.
- Fix repeated renaming of output directories from `arcget`.
- Make random adjustments to rescheduled job times and process rescheduled
  and monitoring work in random order.
- Remove deprecated `--use-jobs-xml` option from `check_arcce_clean` and
  some other ancient stuff which nobody will notice.
- Avoid warning due to unparsed 12 hex-digit lines from `arcstat`.
- Various minor fixes.

Release 1.8.4.

  - Work around blocking semantic when using old Sqlite bindings and
    increase lock timeout to 10 s also when using new bindings.

Release 1.8.3.

  - Handle missing SHA1 in IGTF CA certificate check.

Release 1.8.2.

  - Delay some IGTF warnings which were raised before the publication day.
  - Fix parsing of arcstat output for GLUE2-enabled CEs, using "Status"
    instead of "Specific status".
  - Fix /tmp file leak when arccp fails, and improve related logging.
  - Add --min-proxy-lifetime option and inclease default to avoid expiration
    before the job is run.
  - Fix missed passive state update when arcget output dir was absent.
  + Add option to monitor state progress.
  + Support multiple LDAP attribute lookup and use it in the EGI setup to
    add GlueSAPath as a fallback for GlueVOInfoPath for SRM checks.

Release candidate 1.8.2rc2.

  - Fix state monitoring.
  - Fix a missed Nagios critical state for passive termination service.

Release candidate 1.8.2rc1.

  - Delay some IGTF warnings which were raised before the publication day.
  - Fix parsing of arcstat output for GLUE2-enabled CEs, using "Status"
    instead of "Specific status".
  - Fix /tmp file leak when arccp fails, and improve related logging.

Release candidate 1.8.1rc1.

  - Fix parsing of arcstat output.
  - Support posting job submission errors to passive services (GGUS-104724).

Release candidate 1.8.1rc1.

  - Fix parsing of arcstat output.
  - Support posting job submission errors to passive services (GGUS-104724).

Release 1.8.0

  - Let check_arcce_monitor discard jobs after a given number of attempts to
    fetch it.

  - Let check_arcce_monitor clear jobs, avoiding issues with simultaneous
    file access by check_arcce_submit.

  - Improve the heuristics for when it's ok to clear a missing job.

  - Tolerate transient disappearance of jobs from job arcstat output.  This
    also fixes a missed cleanup.

  - Re-try cleaning each job and staged file up to 12 times distributed in
    geometrically progressing intervals over a few months.

  - The job-fetching code is mostly rewritten, avoiding redundant fetch
    attempts and making the code more clear.

  - Ignore non-zero exit from arcget if the output does not indicate an
    error.

  - Replicate of test files uploaded via LFC when multiple SEs are used.

  - Support fail-over URIs for LDAP-derived variables.

  - Add an option to archive all job files when a job fails.

  - Implicitly compute interpolated variables in the configuration file.
    This obsoletes the "variables" setting.

  - For the random_line substitution: Fix exclude and add include.

  - Use Genshi templates for generating job descriptions, allowing people to
    modify job descriptions.

  - Add support for gmlog.  This fixes GGUS-100995.

Release 1.7.1.

  - Add nordugrid-arc-plugins-globus for EL due to EGI requirement.

Release 1.7.0

  + Support substitutions based on LDAP queries.

  + Support exclusion of specified values for the random_line substition
    type.

  - Drop "BuildArch: noarch" from RPM specfile, since the Nagios plugin path
    is different on i386 and x86_64.

  - Add missing initialization of $status in generated job scripts.

  - Fix timeout argument which was passed as float to ARC commands.

  - Avoid catching SystemExit exception (NG-3234)

  - Fix default parameter for --warn-if-missing option in check_arcglue2.
