Pelican v7.22.0

This release brings a broad set of improvements to reliability, observability, and authorization, offering meaningful quality-of-life upgrades for operators and users.

Breaking Changes & Upgrade Notes for Admins

• [All] A new web interface for managing groups and user membership #2740
• [Cache] A new Site-Local cache mode #2798
• [All] Prometheus data retention policy is now configurable #2779
• [Cache/Origin] New health metrics for config update and XRootD self-tests #2666
• [Client] More robust error classifications in client #2825
• [Director/Origin] Director can now scrape metrics from brokered Origins #2824

Bugs Fixed

• [Client] Fixed authentication loop issue in the client #2790
• [Director] Fixed namespace TTL cache behavior in the Director #2821

• 87aa2a1 Images: bump xrdhttp-pelican version and release to 0.0.8-1
• ce73ae8 Update classads library

This release candidate pins xrdhttp-pelican plugin to 0.0.7 for Pelican 7.21.x so the build process won't pick the latest version, which requires a newer xrootd version than what is bundled in this release.

Bugs Fixed

• [Origin] Restore the ability to view an Origin's directory listing directly in the browser #2842

Changelog

• 7296477 Bump Pelican version to 7.22.0-rc.1
