Just finished wrapping up some formal releases of new Grid Appliance
version:

(Note if you are using a 2.04.05 Appliance with Ubuntu 10.04 , it will
have automatically upgraded to these versions)

Here's what's changed with IPOP specific first:
- Dns is now case insensitive (C123234234 and c123234234 resolve to the
same 5.23.234.234)
- Ubuntu 10.04 triggered a few strange issues in IPOP
-) Sending of packets over the Internet are now done in a separate
thread (this was causing occasional stalls in the system and causing it
to completely restart IPOP, completely messing up everything)
-) When performing local domain resolution, Ubuntu performs AAAA
(IPv6) lookups prior to A (IPv4) lookups, this causes applications like
sudo to be very slow... this was fixed by resolving AAAA to IPv4
addresses, which is allowable in the spec.
- Improved NAT traversing in VirtualBox

Grid Appliance Specific changes:
- Simics properly works
- Fixed a few bugs in startup that was causing overwriting of
configuration scripts every restart
- Support for Science clouds (Nimbus)
- Support for machines without swap space to run jobs
- Moved gridcndor.sh to condor.sh
