===========================================================================
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.
2.0.2 -- 26 January 2017

2.0.0 -- 12 July 2016
---------------------
**********************************************************************
* Open MPI is now fully MPI-3.1 compliant
**********************************************************************
Major new features:
- Many enhancements to MPI RMA. Open MPI now maps MPI RMA operations
on to native RMA operations for those networks which support this
capability.
- Greatly improved support for MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE (when configured
with --enable-mpi-thread-multiple).
- Enhancements to reduce the memory footprint for jobs at scale. A
new MCA parameter, "mpi_add_procs_cutoff", is available to set the
threshold for using this feature.
- Completely revamped support for memory registration hooks when using
OS-bypass network transports.
- Significant OMPIO performance improvements and many bug fixes.
- Add support for PMIx - Process Management Interface for Exascale.
Version 1.1.2 of PMIx is included internally in this release.
- Add support for PLFS file systems in Open MPI I/O.
- Add support for UCX transport.
- Simplify build process for Cray XC systems. Add support for
using native SLURM.
- Add a --tune mpirun command line option to simplify setting many
environment variables and MCA parameters.
- Add a new MCA parameter "orte_default_dash_host" to offer an analogue
to the existing "orte_default_hostfile" MCA parameter.
- Add the ability to specify the number of desired slots in the mpirun
--host option.
Changes in behavior compared to prior versions:
- In environments where mpirun cannot automatically determine the
number of slots available (e.g., when using a hostfile that does not
specify "slots", or when using --host without specifying a ":N"
suffix to hostnames), mpirun now requires the use of "-np N" to
specify how many MPI processes to launch.
- The MPI C++ bindings -- which were removed from the MPI standard in
v3.0 -- are no longer built by default and will be removed in some
future version of Open MPI. Use the --enable-mpi-cxx-bindings
configure option to build the deprecated/removed MPI C++ bindings.
- ompi_info now shows all components, even if they do not have MCA
parameters. The prettyprint output now separates groups with a
dashed line.
- OMPIO is now the default implementation of parallel I/O, with the
exception for Lustre parallel filesystems (where ROMIO is still the
default). The default selection of OMPI vs. ROMIO can be controlled
via the "--mca io ompi|romio" command line switch to mpirun.
- Per Open MPI's versioning scheme (see the README), increasing the
major version number to 2 indicates that this version is not
ABI-compatible with prior versions of Open MPI. You will need to
recompile MPI and OpenSHMEM applications to work with this version
of Open MPI.
- Removed checkpoint/restart code due to loss of maintainer. :-(
- Change the behavior for handling certain signals when using PSM and
PSM2 libraries. Previously, the PSM and PSM2 libraries would trap
certain signals in order to generate tracebacks. The mechanism was
found to cause issues with Open MPI's own error reporting mechanism.
If not already set, Open MPI now sets the IPATH_NO_BACKTRACE and
HFI_NO_BACKTRACE environment variables to disable PSM/PSM2's
handling these signals.
Removed legacy support:
- Removed support for OS X Leopard.
- Removed support for Cray XT systems.
- Removed VampirTrace.
- Removed support for Myrinet/MX.
- Removed legacy collective module:ML.
- Removed support for Alpha processors.
- Removed --enable-mpi-profiling configure option.

** 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

1.8.7: 15 Jul 2015
------------------
** NOTE: v1.8.7 technically breaks ABI with prior versions
** in the 1.8 series because it repairs two incorrect API
** signatures. However, users will only need to recompile
** if they were using those functions - which they couldn't
** have been, because the signatures were wrong :-)
