We are very pleased to announce that Beaker v0.13.1 in now available
from the yum repos on
beaker-project.org, and the main site has been
updated accordingly.
In this release we have introduced the first components of the Enhanced User
Groups design proposal [1]. This includes:
- explicit separation of "individual jobs" and "group jobs".
- support for user defined groups.
- optional LDAP integration for group definitions
Following the migration to Sphinx-based documentation, Beaker 0.13
introduces substantial changes to the upstream Beaker User Guide. These
changes should make it easier for users to get started working with an
existing Beaker installation. The greatest changes can be seen in the
section on writing Beaker tasks [2]. Improvements have also been made to
the job submission and execution documentation [3].
Additional details about the above features and smaller changes for this
release can be found in the release notes here:

Thank you to all who contributed to this release.
We're currently working on an incremental maintenance release (0.13.2),
while also starting to think seriously about the scope of Beaker 0.14
(which we're currently aiming to release some time in August).
Cheers,
Nick.
