IGRF-11, our magnetic field model, will expire at the end of the year. The new version has not been released yet. Even if they release it while I'm typing this, there's not enough time left to get FastMon and astro fixed. Both astro and the FastMon IGRF library will ignore the time validity limits on the model if the IGNORE_IGRF_BOUNDARY environment variable is set (to anything). This release puts a switch in the config file to do this for all the jobs that require it.
Other changes from 4.8:
A new version of Monitor that checks whether it actually managed to write its output
Changesto batch priorities that should do a better job of keeping the farm busy when we are swamped with data.
