Base Command Manager / Bright Cluster Manager Release Notes

Release notes for Bright 8.2-14

== General ==

- New Features

* Support for RHEL8

- Improvements

* New /active-head-node URL, which returns http code: 200 (active) / 400 (otherwise)

== Data Science ==

* Data Science packages for all Linux distributions have been renamed to be consistent with a new naming scheme that was already used for Data Science packages on Ubuntu 18.04

Under this new naming scheme, all packages have a 'cm-' prefix (e.g. cm-tensorflow2). The new naming scheme will also allow several variants of a package to be made available. Transitioning from old to new packages will happen automatically during package upgrade (e.g. 'yum update'). Old packages will be replaced by new packages. For example:

cm-ml-pythondeps -> cm-ml-pythondeps-py27-cuda10.1-gcc
cm-ml-python3deps -> cm-ml-pythondeps-py36-cuda10.1-gcc
tensorflow -> cm-tensorflow-py27-cuda10.1-gcc
tensorflow-python3 -> cm-tensorflow-py36-cuda10.1-gcc

* Packages horovod and horovod-python3 are now distributed in separate framework variants: cm-horovod-mxnet-*, cm-horovod-pytorch-*, cm-horovod-tensorflow-*.
* New packages included in the Data Science add-on for Python 3: TensorFlow 2 and XGBoost.
