Patch 412 — Fix on OpeniT license verification
Fix on parsing of the OpeniT license key. Sometimes the host-locked
key was not recognized. This should now be fixed.
Patch 402 — Support for lsb.acct file rotation
This patch adds handling of rotation on lsb.acct files. The file name
is "lsb.acct[<delimiter><number>[.gz|.Z]]" or
"lsb.acct<.gz|.Z>[<delimiter><number>]". If the number is in use, the
delimiter is by default ".". To handle another delimiter, e.g. "-",
the /etc/opt/openit/openit.cfg directive LSB_ACCT_FILENAME_DELIMITER
is set, like:

LSB_ACCT_FILENAME_DELIMITER  -

Z and gz files are supprted.

Patch 390 — Improvements in LSF Batch data collection
This patch has the following updates to the client collector:

 1. Accepts unknown (i.e newer) LSF batch files

    Previously the collector would refuse to process data
    if the batch file was from a newer LSF version than
    those explicitly supported. 

    This update will allow processing and assume that
    the data format is compatible with the last verified
    version. This is currently 6.1

 2. Output resolution of time measurements changed
    from minutes to seconds.

    Previously the data was locked in a non standard
    resolution that prevents normal back-end conversion 
    (e.g to Hour).

     * Customer has no previous LSF Batch data or 
       current LSF Batch data can be deleted and
       reprocessed.
Patch 347 — Add support for handling LSF 6.1 lsb.acct files
LSF 6.1 adds an extra field to the lsb.acct log file. This
patch adds support for handling the new format.
Patch 324 — Fixes problem with : in project names
This updated version of lsbacct_to_psm replaces occurences 
of ':' in project names with '_' to avoid problems with
data consistency.
Patch 207 — Added support for LSF 6.0 batch logs
This updated version of lsbacct_to_psm adds support for parsing
LSF 6.0 version of the lsb.acct file.
