    I am pleased to announce the release of BLCR 0.7.2.
    It has been available for a couple of days but my mailer appears to have eaten 
    the original announcement.
    
    The 0.7.2 release is now available from the BLCR Downloads page:
    http://ftg.lbl.gov/CheckpointRestart/CheckpointDownloads.shtml
    
    Relative to 0.7.1, this release fixes several bugs.  Support for 2.6.26 
    kernels (speculated on, but untested in 0.7.1) has also been verified.  A more 
    detailed list of changes appears below in the form of an excerpt from the NEWS 
    file.
    
    -Paul
