Announcing OSG Software versions 3.2.26 and 3.3.0

We are pleased to announce OSG Software versions 3.2.26 and 3.3.0.

OSG 3.2.26 contains:
* XRootD 4.2.2 (see release notes for details)
* 2 patches to HTCondor to better support HTCondor CE
* improved logging of failures in lcmaps-plugins-verify-proxy
* better credential handling and fix for crashes in lcamps-plugins-scas-client
* CA Certificates are no longer repackaged for compatibility with old software
* VO Package v61

OSG 3.3.0 starts a new release series. This series is currently largely equivalent to the 3.2.26 series with the following changes:
* Unused and unmaintained packages were dropped from the 3.3 series.
* The 3.3 series contains HTCondor 8.3.6, rather than HTCondor 8.2.8.
* The OSG 3.3 series supports Enterprise Linux 6 and 7 systems.
* Enterprise Linux 7 support is not yet complete.
* We have lightly tested the worker node components on EL 7.
