All,

A beta of perfSONAR 5.1.0 is now available. This is just a beta version for testing and are looking for feedback. This release replaces the default UI with a new one based on Grafana, adds multi-threaded iperf3 support to pScheduler, additional OS support and many other changes. See the full release notes here: https://www.perfsonar.net/releasenotes-2024-04-18-5-1-0b1.html
