We are happy to announce the release of Pegasus 5.0.3, which is a minor bug fix release for Pegasus 5.0 branch.  This release has some important updates namely

• Support for Deep LFN’s in CondorIO Mode
  •  If you are using bypass of staging for input files, then support for deep LFN’s depends on associated HTCondor ticket 1325 that will be fixed in HTCondor release 10.1.0
• Per Job Symlinking

We invite our users to give it a try.
