WMCore 2.3.3 production WMAgent release
This WMAgent release has a major change affecting stage in/out, where storage JSON has been adopted and the XML format is now deprecated.
In addition, it has a fully functional WorkflowUpdater component, which continuously updates workflow sandboxes with up-to-date pileup information (artifact of the partial pileup feature). On this pileup feature, the agent no longer resolves pileup data location via Rucio, it now fetches this information solely from the MSPileup service.
Furthermore, the Lexicon file has also been updated to support datatiers with digits (e.g. L1SCOUT). Another feature added is the support to EL9 workflows and the automatic detection of container OS during runtime.
Lastly, a few important bugfixes and enhancements are provided with this release.
Release date: 30 April 2024.

WMCore 2.3.1 production central services release
This release brings in full functionality for partial pileup data placement, note however that it requires further developments and deployment of a new WMAgent release before it can be adopted in operations.
We have also refactored pileup data location across WM services, now relying solely on MSPileup. In addition, DQMHarvest workflows will not have a full container input data placement, followed by the relevant changes in the WorkQueue Dataset start policy.
On the WMAgent side, the system now support workflows requesting EL9 Operating System (and their variations). Default ScramArch has been removed for Cleanup jobs, which now auto-discover the OS+Arch and bootstrap the code accordingly.
Release date: 21 Feb 2024.
Changes since release: 2.2.6.

WMAgent 2.3.0 WMAgent production release
This version brings in an initial implementation of a new agent component, called WorkflowUpdater, which will be used to continuously update the pileup location and the workflow sandbox.
It also changes the behavior of site disallowed list, which now will be enforced across all tasks of a workflow. Concerning the job runtime, PSet tweaks have been made more verbose and we now dump some basic information about the environment and cmsRun steps, to be in the future used for job customization.
This release has some other important bug fixes and overall enhancements of the agent.

WMCore 2.2.6 production central services release
Despite not being yet available to the end users, initial changes for supporting partial pileup have been integrated into this release. The StepChain parentage CherryPy thread has been refactored to support partial block resolution and to be more resilient. MSUnmerged had some performance related improvements. Cleanup of unneeded rules (MSRuleCleaner) is no longer dependent on the status of the StepChain parentage resolution. Global WorkQueue will no longer fail workflows that have an incomplete input data placement and/or in cases where the data has not arrived at the final destination, instead it relies on a continuous data location daemon. Lastly, this release brings in many WMAgent and central services improvements.
Release date: 16 Jan 2024.

WMAgent 2.2.5 WMAgent production release
Most of the changes in this cycle have been integrated into WMAgent. Starting with grid jobs, that now carry out two new job classads:
CMS_extendedJobType: which is used to characterize the physics task type of the job (StepChain could have a comma separated list).CMS_CampaignName: which now propagates the request high level description all the way to the job (StepChain could have a comma separated list).
More on the WMAgent job monitoring, it now propagates all of the CMSSW FJR performance metrics to MonIT (through WMArchive index).
In addition, there are two new sections with performance metrics that are uploaded to WMArchive, they are:
WMTiming: it contains timing information captured by the job wrapper, thus relative to the whole grid job.WMCMSSWSubprocess: it contains timing information related to a given cmsRun step executed by the job.
Release date: 12 October 2023.
Changes since release: 2.2.3.1.

In addition, new performance metrics have been added to the job report file and propagated all the way to WMArchive.
