SGE 6.2 beta binaries are available for testing

I'm not going to waste time copying the release announcement into a blog post. The full announcement can be read here:

http://gridengine.sunsource.net/servlets/ReadMsg?list=announce&msgNo=94

Lots of significant changes in the product itself. I also love the migration of manuals and docs to the new http://wikis.sun.com/display/GridEngine site.

Please remember that the reason for this beta release is to allow you to test 6.2 before it officially goes out the door in final form. The more people we have working on and stress-testing 6.2 the less chance there will be an inconvenient or unexpected upgrade issue, bug or glitch. The developers have good testbed environments and testsuites but they can't simulate all the different ways and methods that we use (and abuse!) SGE to get work done. Help make the 6.2 release a big success by testing now and providing feedback.
