gCore <code>1.0</code> introduces the following changes:

====Changes Related to the gHN====
:* ''distribution'': there are now two distributions of the gHN, secure and standard distribution
::* the secure distribution includes Local Services and Libraries from the standard onf plus:
:::* enhanced <code>Delegation</code> service, in charge for providing local services with delegated credentials
:::* enhanced <code>Security</code> library, with support for authentication and authorisation of gCube calls and policies management.
:::* new <code>gcore-stop-container</code> script, to shutdown a secure container

:* ''configuration'': a set of new configuration settings is available:
::* the <code>GHNConfig.xml</code> has been extended with two additional configuration parameters:
:::* ''allowedScopes'', letting the Site Manager to decide to which VOs the gHN can be joined in the future (upon VO Manager decisions)
:::* ''trustedGHNSynchInterval'', how often the gHN refreshes the list of trusted gHNs (in seconds). 
::* the <code>Security descriptor ($GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/globus_wsrf_core/global_security_descriptor.xml)</code> for the gHN must be enabled (by removing the comment surrounding the ''containerSecDesc'' element in the ''$GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/globus_wsrf_core/server-config.wsdd'') and configured to load the appropriate host credentials
::* <code>$X509_USER_PROXY</code> environment variable is now exploited to contact the gContainer from outside the process. It is expected to contain a valid proxy accepted by the local gContainer process.
: All of them are taken into consideration only in case of secure distribution.
