gCore 0.6 introduces the following changes:

Changes Related to the gHN

• new versions of Local Services and Libraries. Most noticeably:

• the ResultSet service, with optional [SSL support http://add.link].
• the Deployer service, with support for plugin deployment and activation. In the version of the service included in this distribution, the deployment of pluggable services implies the deployment of all their plugins from the SoftwareRepository service.
• the Delegation service, with support for periodic delegation of service credentials. In the version of the service included in this distribution the credentials of the local gHN are used in place of service credentials to identify services as operating from trusted gHNs.
• the ISPublisher and Collector-stubs libraries, with support for synchronous publication.
• the SoftwareRepository-stubs library, with support for plugin download.
• the Resources library, with support for plugin profiles. Associated changes can be found in service.xsd and runninginstance.xsd under $GLOBUS_LOCATION/share/schema/gcube/common/core/profiles.
• the GCubeProvider library, with support for WS-Notification interfaces.
• the new Security library, with support for authentication and authorisation of gCube calls.

• two new scripts in $GLOBUS_LOCATION/bin, globus-start-container-debug and globus-start-container-profile, to start the gHN in debug and profiling mode, respectively. See also the Primer for detailed usage instructions.
