    ##############################################################################

    This is a cumulative patch release of the qube-core, supervisor, and worker
    packages, for all platforms, including several key fixes.


    ==== CL 17208 ====
    @CHANGE: Popluate the subjob (instance) objects with more data (like status), and not just the IDs, when subjob info is requested via "qbhostinfo" (qb.hostinfo(subjobs=True) for python API)

    Previously, only jobid, subid, and host info (name, address, macaddress)
    were filled. Now, things like "status", "timestart", "allocations",
    etc. are properly filled in.

    ZD: 16541

    ==== CL 17206 ====
    @FIX: When "migrate_on_frame_retry" job flag is set, prevent backend from doing further processing (especially another requestwork()) after a work failed

    This was causing race-conditions that will get agenda items to be stuck in
    "retrying" state, while there are no instances processing them.

    Now the reportwork() API routine is modified so that if it's invoked to
    report that a work "failed", and the "migrate_on_frame_retry" is set on the
    job, it will stop processing (does a long sleep), and let the worker/proxy
    do the process clean up.

    ==== CL 17186 ====
    @FIX: "VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter" now when daemons (supe, worker) try to pick a primary mac address

    JIRA: QUBE-2149
    ZD: 16561

    ==== CL 17182 ====
    @CHANGE: all classes that inherit from QbObject print as a regular dictionary, no longer have a __repr__ which prints the job data as a single flat string
    @NEW: add qb.validatejob() function to python API, help find malformed jobs that crash the user interfaces

    ==== CL 17141 ====
    @FIX: Any job submitted from within a running job picks up the pgrp of the submitting job

    By design, if the submission environment has QBGRPID and QBJOBID set, the
    API's submission routine will set the job's pgrp and pid, respectively to
    the values specified in the environment variables.

    One couldn't override this "inheritance" behavior even by explicitly
    specifying "pgrp" or "pid" in the job being submitted, for instance with
    the "-pgrp" command-line option of qbsub.

    Fixed, so that setting "pgrp" to 0 on submission means that the job should
    generate its own pgrp instead of inheriting it from the environment.

    ZD: 16545

    ==== CL 17101 ====
    @NEW: add "-dying" and "-registering" options to qbjobs.
    @CHANGE: also add dying and registering jobs to the "-active" filter.

    JIRA: QUBE-2091
    ZD: 16469

    ==== CL 16804 ====
    @TWEAK: added code to print what operation was requested, when printing out "permission granted to user..."
