* Fix slurmctld potential deadlock when trying to schedule jobs starting many years in the future. Slurm only supports one year time limits.
* Fix pam_slurm_adopt when using namespace/linux plugin.
* topology/tree - Prevent overflow error when calculating fanout depth.
* The state string for nodes in the MIXED+FAIL state will now appear as "FAILING" rather than just "FAIL", similar to what is already done for nodes in the ALLOCATED+FAIL state.

* namespace/linux - add SLURM_JOB_MEM to script environments when able.

* slurmctld,slurmd - Reject incoming RPC connections with TLS required error to help misconfigured clients.
* Add requeue_delay option to SchedulerParameters.
* RPCs that are keyed by SLUID no longer fall-back to looking up the job by JobId. This should avoid (rare) edge cases where a node reconnects to the cluster and attempts to cancel requeued jobs.
* Add %S as a filename replacement pattern for SLUID.
* Add %r as a filename replacement pattern for restart count for batch jobs.
* Add topology.yaml manpage to debian packages.

* Fix rejecting some valid jobs that requested --sockets-per-node > 1 and --gres-flags=enforce-binding.
* For some jobs that use --gres-flags=enforce-binding, allocate the lowest numbered socket first. The previous behavior allocated the highest numbered socket first.

* Remove node_features/knl_generic plugin.
* Limit conmgr_threads to 256 for all configuration parameters.
* slurmctld - Avoid potentially logging invalid address for info level logging of "slurmctld_req: received opcode %s from %pA uid %u".

* Add new DisableArchiveCommands parameter to slurmdbd.conf to disable "sacctmgr archive" commands.
* Prevent jobs submitted to multiple partitions from being killed when removing a partition from slurm.conf and restarting or reconfiguring the slurmctld. Pending jobs will remain pending with the remaining partitions. If a job's running partition, or all its partitions, are removed, the job will get killed with JobState=NODE_FAIL and Reason=PartitionDown. Jobs killed due to removing partitions from slurm.conf cannot be requeued.

If slurmd is started with a unit file, modifying the unit and adding Slice= into the [Service] section is needed. After making this change in cgroup.conf, the old slurmstepd scopes need to be terminated before starting slurmd again.
* Reject invalid dependencies with more than one dependency separator type.
* Reject dependency specifications with trailing garbage as invalid syntax.
* Mark afterok/afternotok dependencies on a non-existent remote job id as failed. Previously the dependency would remain unfulfilled indefinitely.
