    41 This release supports multiple credential formats, specifically version 1 and version 1.1 [http://http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/TIEDCredentials GENI credentials] as well as reading GENI privilege credentials.  Credentials read from files or chunks are transparenlty output as read, for example if they appear in a proof or if they are extracted from a context.  Credentials that are created by an application are output in GENI v1.1 format by default, but can be created in GENI v1.0 using the set_output format of the Attribute object.  Valid parameters to {{{set_output_format}}} are:
