Bugs Fixed

• Thanks to TeraGrid (JP Navarro and Charles Bacon) for the fix to a bug where the wrong package would be selected using SoftEnv if it were a substring of another package.

• The monitor once again tolerates database connection failures on job start-up.

• Fixed a bug preventing notification e-mails from being sent.

• Protected against a cross-site scripting attack. We do not believe this vulnerability can compromise the integrity of the Metronome database, or the server(s) and back-end(s) providing Metronome services, such as Condor. (In particular, if the database permissions as set as we suggested in the installation instructions, we believe that only session preferences and the user-supplied notes associated with a run could be corrupted.) Of course, if your browser is vulnerable to the contents of arbitrary web pages, and you follow a link which exploits this Metronome bug, your browser will be compromised. For that reason, we strongly suggest you upgrade older versions of Metronome or patch the vulnerability. For information on latter, please contact us directly.
