CycleCloud version 8.7.2

This release introduces highly requested new features, addresses several key issues, and improves overall performance.

New features 

This release has the following new features added:

• The Cyclecloud Slurm cluster type now supports Slurm versions 24.05.6 and 24.11.3. 
• The Jetpack converge process now includes support for strace. 
• The azslurm CLI now provides a topology configuration generator for topology-aware Slurm scheduling. 
• The .NET runtime is no longer required by CycleServer and is no longer bundled.

Resolved issues 

• The username wasn't correctly set from v1 Entra ID tokens. 
• Nodes were sometimes shown as converged prematurely in the UI.  
• Editing credentials failed when using a Service Principal with a secret. 
• Entra ID validation didn't time out properly during network errors.
• Sending email through CycleServer required STARTTLS.
• Cyclecloud CLI failed Entra authentication when using a Service Principal with Certificate.
• Jetpack occasionally failed to include the cluster-init script that caused an error in the Node details and Issues UI stack trace. 
• Updating a user's password with the execute command sometimes failed on the first attempt.
• CycleCloud incorrectly threw a "NullPointerException" when an invalid password was provided to the REST API with Entra ID authentication enabled. 
• Removed a potentially confusing Jetpack warning: "PIDFile= references a path below legacy directory /var/run/". 
• The Ubuntu needrestart utility would unnecessarily restart CycleCloud when other packages were updated or installed.
• Some GPU SKUs didn't automatically enable "Accelerated Networking", even though the feature is now supported.
• Removed references to the unused 'cganglia' cookbook from all cluster types. 
• The Locker identity drop-down didn't handle multiple subscriptions correctly. 
• The Locker identity field was case-sensitive, which led to failures when a cluster used the same identity as a UserAssignedIdentity, due to inconsistent case preservation.  
• Entra users with no permissions were unable to log out. 
• Data table initial column sizes were sometimes too small for their content. 
• Resolved NVD - CVE-2025-24813 

Known issues 

• The (retired) BeeGFS cluster type requires custom images, as the Azure HPC and OpenLogic CentOS 7 images have reached end-of-life and are no longer available in the Azure Marketplace. 
• HPC Pack Broker nodes fail to converge breaking SOA workloads. This issue will be resolved in the next release. 
• The Altair GridEngine demo release is no longer supported. Altair GridEngine users must upload their licensed GridEngine installer binary to their CycleCloud Storage Locker.
