OSG Software version 3.1.2 has been released

Hello,

We're pleased to announce OSG Software version 3.1.2. This is the new OSG Software distributed via RPMs for Scientific Linux 5 and 6, CentOS 5 and 6, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.

This release includes various Globus fixes that affect the GRAM job manager, including a fix for a major bug where it occasionally deleted job directories, and a fix for a memory leak. Also included is a new production release of the Gratia services, and packaging updates to the GridFTP HDFS plugin and GUMS.

The xrootd-lcmaps-0.0.4-5 RPMs have been removed due to dependencies on software that isn't ready yet.

Hello,

We're pleased to announce OSG Software version 3.1.1. This is the new OSG
Software distributed via RPMs for Scientific Linux 5 and 6, CentOS 5 and

The only change in this release is a rollback of the
