ANN: Jug 1.5.0

[Luis Pedro Coelho]

Dear list,

Last week, I released Jug 1.5.0.

It includes many internal improvements (many thanks to Renato Alves for
some of the redesigned subcommand usage, also check out his jug-schedule
package : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jug-schedule).

User viewable changes include:

- you can use --target to specify a subset of tasks to run (in jug
execute)
- is_jug_running function (discussed on the mailing list before)
- invalidate() is now available inside `jug shell`
- lock files now have some more info
- for consistency, jug invalidate takes --target to specify the task to
invalidate (the old API is still OK, though)

Several bugfixes are also part of the release.

WHAT IS JUG?

Jug allows you to write code that is broken up into tasks and run
different tasks on different processors (even across a cluster).

Jug is a pure Python implementation and should work on any platform.
