===========================================================================
This file contains the main features as well as overviews of specific
bug fixes (and other actions) for each version of Open MPI since
version 1.0.
As more fully described in the "Software Version Number" section in
the README file, Open MPI typically releases two separate version
series simultaneously. Since these series have different goals and
are semi-independent of each other, a single NEWS-worthy item may be
introduced into different series at different times. For example,
feature F was introduced in the vA.B series at version vA.B.C, and was
later introduced into the vX.Y series at vX.Y.Z.
The first time feature F is released, the item will be listed in the
vA.B.C section, denoted as:
(** also to appear: X.Y.Z) -- indicating that this item is also
likely to be included in future release
version vX.Y.Z.
When vX.Y.Z is later released, the same NEWS-worthy item will also be
included in the vX.Y.Z section and be denoted as:
(** also appeared: A.B.C) -- indicating that this item was previously
included in release version vA.B.C.
Master (not on release branches yet)
------------------------------------
- ompi_info parsable output now escapes double quotes in values, and
also quotes values can contains colons. Thanks to Lev Givon for the
suggestion.
- CUDA-aware support can now handle GPUs within a node that do not
support CUDA IPC. Earlier versions would get error and abort.
- Do not build the MPI C++ bindings by default. They must be enabled
via --enable-mpi-cxx.
- Removed embedded VampirTrace. It is in maintenance mode since 2013.
Please consider Score-P (score-p.org) as an external replacement.

1.10.0
------
** NOTE: The v1.10.0 release marks the transition to Open MPI's new
** version numbering scheme. The v1.10.x release series is based on
** the v1.8.x series, but with a few new features. v2.x will be the
** next series after the v1.10.x series, and complete the transition
** to the new version numbering scheme. See README for more details
** on the new versioning scheme.
**

1.7.4
-----
**********************************************************************
* CRITICAL CHANGE
*
* As of release 1.7.4, OpenMPI's default mapping, ranking, and binding
* settings have changed:
*
* Mapping:
* if #procs <= 2, default to map-by core
* if #procs > 2, default to map-by socket
* Ranking:
* if default mapping is used, then default to rank-by slot
* if map-by <obj> is given, then default to rank-by <obj>,
* where <obj> is whatever object we mapped against
* Binding:
* default to bind-to core
*
* Users can override any of these settings individually using the
* corresponding MCA parameter. Note that multi-threaded applications
* in particular may want to override at least the binding default
* to allow threads to use multiple cores.

- Added database framework to OPAL and changed all modex operations
to flow thru it, also included additional system info in the
available data
- Added staged state machine to support sequential work flows
- Added distributed file system support for accessing files across
nodes that do not have networked file systems
- Extended filem framework to support scalable pre-positioning of
files for use by applications, adding new "raw" component that
transmits files across the daemon network
- Native Windows support has been removed. A cygwin package is
available from that group for Windows-based use.
- Added new MPI Java bindings. See the Javadocs for more details on
the API.
- Wrapper compilers now add rpath support by default to generated
executables on systems that support it. This behavior can be
disabled via --disable-wrapper-rpath. See note in README about ABI
issues when using rpath in MPI applications.
- Added a new parallel I/O component and multiple new frameworks to
support parallel I/O operations.
- Fixed MPI_STATUS_SIZE Fortran issue when used with 8-byte Fortran
INTEGERs and 4-byte C ints. Since this issue affects ABI, it is
only enabled if Open MPI is configured with
--enable-abi-breaking-fortran-status-i8-fix. Thanks to Jim Parker
for supplying the initial patch.
- Add support for Intel Phi SCIF transport.
- For CUDA-aware MPI configured with CUDA 6.0, use new pointer
attribute to avoid extra synchronization in stream 0 when using
CUDA IPC between GPUs on the same node.
- For CUDA-aware MPI configured with CUDA 6.0, compile in support
of GPU Direct RDMA in openib BTL to improve small message latency.
- Updated ROMIO from MPICH v3.0.4.
- MPI-3: Added support for remaining non-blocking collectives.
- MPI-3: Added support for neighborhood collectives.
- MPI-3: Updated C bindings with consistent use of [].
- MPI-3: Added the const keyword to read-only buffers.
- MPI-3: Added support for non-blocking communicator duplication.
- MPI-3: Added support for non-collective communicator creation.

operations under Torque. Thanks to Suraj Prabhakaran for reporting
the problem.

ConnectX3-Pro devices.
- Update libevent to v2.0.21.
- "ompi_info --param TYPE PLUGIN" now only shows a small number of MCA
parameters by default. Add "--level 9" or "--all" to see *all* MCA
parameters. See README for more details.
- Add support for asynchronous CUDA-aware copies.
- Add support for Mellanox MPI collective operation offload via the
"hcoll" library.
- MPI-3: Add support for the MPI_T interface. Open MPI's MCA
parameters are now accessible via the MPI_T control variable
interface. Support has been added for a small number of MPI_T
performance variables.
- Add Gentoo memory hooks override. Thanks to Justin Bronder for the
patch.
- Added new "mindist" process mapper, allowing placement of processes
via PCI locality information reported by the BIOS.
- MPI-2.2: Add support for MPI_Dist_graph functionality.
- Enable generic, client-side support for PMI2 implementations. Can
be leveraged by any resource manager that implements PMI2; e.g. SLURM,
versions 2.6 and higher.
