Alain,

I've been working on GUMS 1.4, which has some big changes, but I
decided to go back to the 1.3.14 branch and fix some of the problems
that people have found and release 1.3.15.  Namely, I fixed:
1) "vorole" and "role" for VOMSUserGroup matching causes null error
for users without an fqan (found by John Weigand)
2) merge configuration - a new feature I had added just before the
1.3.14 release had broken this (found by Mine Altunay)
3) do not need to restart tomcat when adding administrator using
gums-add-mysql-admin script - there is some recently added pattern
matching to improve performance which only got refreshed when a new
user was added through the gums API or when tomcat is restarted, not
when a change was made directly to the database, so now GUMS refreshes
this every 10 seconds such that a tomcat restart is not needed (found
by Robert Engel)

These are major enough problems that the latest VDT should be updated
in my opinion.

They can be dropped in place from
http://grid.racf.bnl.gov/mvn/gums/gums-service/1.3.15/gums-service-1.3.15.war
and http://grid.racf.bnl.gov/mvn/gums/gums-client/1.3.15/gums-client-1.3.15-bin.tar.gz.
