The internal HTCondor resource identifier format is changed from ClusterId to ClusterId.ProcId.

• v0.7.0: New resources automatically use the new format. Existing resources with an old resource identifier are automatically mapped to the new format. No active changes are required.
• v0.8.0: The automatic mapping is disabled. Resources created with the old format cannot be managed anymore.

In effect, this means that when using the HTCondor site adapter on a pre-v0.7.0 TARDIS, one should:

• take no special measures when updating to v0.7.X.
• wait for all resources to complete when updating to v0.8.X without updating to v0.7.X first.
