This WMAgent release has a major change affecting stage in/out, where storage JSON has been adopted and the XML format is now deprecated.
In addition, it has a fully functional WorkflowUpdater component, which continuously updates workflow sandboxes with up-to-date pileup information (artifact of the partial pileup feature). On this pileup feature, the agent no longer resolves pileup data location via Rucio, it now fetches this information solely from the MSPileup service.
Furthermore, the Lexicon file has also been updated to support datatiers with digits (e.g. L1SCOUT). Another feature added is the support to EL9 workflows and the automatic detection of container OS during runtime.
Lastly, a few important bugfixes and enhancements are provided with this release.

Release date: 30 April 2024.
