===========================================================================

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.

- UCX PML improvements: add multi-threading support.
- Yalla PML improvements: Fix error with irregular contiguous datatypes.
- Openib BTL: disable XRC support by default.
- TCP BTL: Add check to detect and ignore connections from processes
  that aren't MPI (such as IDS probes) and verify that source and
  destination are using the same version of Open MPI, fix issue with very
  large message transfer.
- 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.
- Add a mca parameter ras_base_launch_orted_on_hn to allow for launching
  MPI processes on the same node where mpirun is executing using a separate
  orte daemon, rather than the mpirun process.   This may be useful to set to
  true when using SLURM, as it improves interoperability with SLURM's signal
  propagation tools.  By default it is set to false, except for Cray XC systems.
- Remove LoadLeveler RAS support.
- Remove IB XRC support from the OpenIB BTL due to lack of support.
- Add functionality for IBM s390 platforms.  Note that regular
  regression testing does not occur on the s390 and it is not

- Sending very large MPI messages using the ofi MTL will fail with
  some of the underlying Libfabric transports (e.g., PSM2 with
  messages >=4GB, verbs with messages >=2GB).  Prior version of Open
  MPI failed silently; this version of Open MPI invokes the
  appropriate MPI error handler upon failure.  See
  https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues/7058 for more details.
  Thanks to Emmanuel Thomé for raising the issue.
- Fix case where 0-extent datatypes might be eliminated during
  optimization.  Thanks to Github user @tjahns for raising the issue.

  initial fix.
- OMPI: fix division by zero with an empty file view.
- Also handle shmat()/shmdt() memory patching with OS-bypass networks.
- Add support for unwinding info to all files that are present in the
  stack starting from MPI_Init, which is helpful with parallel
  debuggers.  Thanks to James Clark for the report and initial fix.
- Fixed inadvertant use of bitwise operators in the MPI C++ bindings
  header files.  Thanks to Bert Wesarg for the report and the fix.
- Added configure option --disable-wrappers-runpath (alongside the
  already-existing --disable-wrappers-rpath option) to prevent Open
  MPI's configure script from automatically adding runpath CLI options
  to the wrapper compilers.

3.0.4 -- April, 2019
--------------------

- Fix compile error when configured with --enable-mpi-java and
  --with-devel-headers.  Thanks to @g-raffy for reporting the issue.

-------------------

- Disable osc/pt2pt when using MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE due to numerous
  race conditions in the component.
- Fix dummy variable names for the mpi and mpi_f08 Fortran bindings to

- Fix the tree spawn operation when the number of nodes is larger than the radix.
  Thanks to Carlos Eduardo de Andrade for reporting.
- Fix Fortran 2008 macro in MPI extensions.  Thanks to Nathan T. Weeks for
  reporting.
- Add UCX to list of interfaces that OpenSHMEM will use by default.
- Add --{enable|disable}-show-load-errors-by-default to control
  default behavior of the load errors option.
- OFI MTL improvements: handle empty completion queues properly, fix
  incorrect error message around fi_getinfo(), use default progress
  option for provider by default, Add support for reading multiple
  CQ events in ofi_progress.
- PSM2 MTL improvements: Allow use of GPU buffers, thread fixes.
- Numerous corrections to memchecker behavior.
- Add a mca parameter ras_base_launch_orted_on_hn to allow for launching
  MPI processes on the same node where mpirun is executing using a separate
  orte daemon, rather than the mpirun process.   This may be useful to set to
  true when using SLURM, as it improves interoperability with SLURM's signal
  propagation tools.  By default it is set to false, except for Cray XC systems.
- Fix a problem reported on the mailing separately by Kevin McGrattan and Stephen
  Guzik about consistency issues on NFS file systems when using OMPIO. This fix
  also introduces a new mca parameter fs_ufs_lock_algorithm which allows to
  control the locking algorithm used by ompio for read/write operations. By
  default, ompio does not perfom locking on local UNIX file systems, locks the
  entire file per operation on NFS file systems, and selective byte-range
  locking on other distributed file systems.
- Add an mca parameter pmix_server_usock_connections to allow mpirun to
  support applications statically built against the Open MPI v2.x release,
  or installed in a container along with the Open MPI v2.x libraries. It is
  set to false by default.

3.0.0 -- September, 2017
------------------------

Major new features:

- Use UCX allocator for OSHMEM symmetric heap allocations to optimize intra-node
  data transfers.  UCX SPML only.
- Use UCX multi-threaded API in the UCX PML.  Requires UCX 1.0 or later.
- Added support for Flux PMI
- Update embedded PMIx to version 2.1.0
- Update embedded hwloc to version 1.11.7

Changes in behavior compared to prior versions:

- Per Open MPI's versioning scheme (see the README), increasing the
  major version number to 3 indicates that this version is not
  ABI-compatible with prior versions of Open MPI. In addition, there may
  be differences in MCA parameter names and defaults from previous releases.
  Command line options for mpirun and other commands may also differ from
  previous versions. You will need to recompile MPI and OpenSHMEM applications
  to work with this version of Open MPI.
- With this release, Open MPI supports MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE by default.
- New configure options have been added to specify the locations of libnl
  and zlib.
- A new configure option has been added to request Flux PMI support.
- The help menu for mpirun and related commands is now context based.
  "mpirun --help compatibility" generates the help menu in the same format
  as previous releases.

Removed legacy support:
- AIX is no longer supported.
- Loadlever is no longer supported.
- OpenSHMEM currently supports the UCX and MXM transports via the ucx and ikrit
  SPMLs respectively.
- Remove IB XRC support from the OpenIB BTL due to lack of support.
- Remove support for big endian PowerPC.
- Remove support for XL compilers older than v13.1

Known issues:

- MPI_Connect/accept between applications started by different mpirun
  commands will fail, even if ompi-server is running.

2.1.5 -- August 2018
--------------------

- A subtle race condition bug was discovered in the "vader" BTL
  (shared memory communications) that, in rare instances, can cause
  MPI processes to crash or incorrectly classify (or effectively drop)
  an MPI message sent via shared memory.  If you are using the "ob1"
  PML with "vader" for shared memory communication (note that vader is
  the default for shared memory communication with ob1), you need to
  upgrade to v2.1.5 to fix this issue.  You may also upgrade to the
  following versions to fix this issue:
  - Open MPI v3.0.1 (released March, 2018) or later in the v3.0.x
    series
  - Open MPI v3.1.2 (expected end of August, 2018) or later
- A link issue was fixed when the UCX library was not located in the
  linker-default search paths.

2.1.4 -- August, 2018
---------------------

Bug fixes/minor improvements:
- Disable the POWER 7/BE block in configure.  Note that POWER 7/BE is
  still not a supported platform, but it is no longer automatically
  disabled.  See
  https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues/4349#issuecomment-374970982
  for more information.

- Fortran fixes:
  - Use conformant dummy parameter names for Fortran bindings.  Thanks
    to Themos Tsikas for reporting and submitting the fixes.
  - Build the MPI_SIZEOF() interfaces in the "TKR"-style "mpi" module
    whenever possible.  Thanks to Themos Tsikas for reporting the
    issue.
  - Fix array of argv handling for the Fortran bindings of
    MPI_COMM_SPAWN_MULTIPLE (and its associated man page).
  - Make NAG Fortran compiler support more robust in configure.
- Disable the "pt2pt" one-sided MPI component when MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE
  is used.  This component is simply not safe in MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE
  scenarios, and will not be fixed in the v2.1.x series.
- Make the "external" hwloc component fail gracefully if it is tries
  to use an hwloc v2.x.y installation.  hwloc v2.x.y will not be
  supported in the Open MPI v2.1.x series.
- Fix "vader" shared memory support for messages larger than 2GB.
  Thanks to Heiko Bauke for the bug report.

  true when using SLURM, as it improves interoperability with SLURM's signal
  propagation tools.  By default it is set to false, except for Cray XC systems.
- Fix --without-lsf when lsf is installed in the default search path.
- Remove support for big endian PowerPC.
- Remove support for XL compilers older than v13.1

- See the list of fixes slated for v2.1.2 here:
  https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/milestone/28

2.1.0 -- March, 2017
--------------------

Major new features:

- The main focus of the Open MPI v2.1.0 release was to update to PMIx
  v1.2.1.  When using PMIx (e.g., via mpirun-based launches, or via
  direct launches with recent versions of popular resource managers),
  launch time scalability is improved, and the run time memory
  footprint is greatly decreased when launching large numbers of MPI /
  OpenSHMEM processes.
- Update OpenSHMEM API conformance to v1.3.
- The usnic BTL now supports MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE.
- General/overall performance improvements to MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE.
- Add a summary message at the bottom of configure that tells you many
  of the configuration options specified and/or discovered by Open
  MPI.

Changes in behavior compared to prior versions:

- None.

Removed legacy support:

- The ptmalloc2 hooks have been removed from the Open MPI code base.
  This is not really a user-noticable change; it is only mentioned
  here because there was much rejoycing in the Open MPI developer
  community.

Bug fixes/minor improvements:

- New MCA parameters:
  - iof_base_redirect_app_stderr_to_stdout: as its name implies, it
    combines MPI / OpenSHMEM applications' stderr into its stdout
    stream.
  - opal_event_include: allow the user to specify which FD selection
    mechanism is used by the underlying event engine.
  - opal_stacktrace_output: indicate where stacktraces should be sent
    upon MPI / OpenSHMEM process crashes ("none", "stdout", "stderr",
    "file:filename").
  - orte_timeout_for_stack_trace: number of seconds to wait for stack
    traces to be reported (or <=0 to wait forever).
  - mtl_ofi_control_prog_type/mtl_ofi_data_prog_type: specify libfabric
    progress model to be used for control and data.
- Fix MPI_WTICK regression where the time reported may be inaccurate
  on systems with processor frequency scalaing enabled.
- Fix regression that lowered the memory maximum message bandwidth for
  large messages on some BTL network transports, such as openib, sm,
  and vader.
- Fix a name collision in the shared file pointer MPI IO file locking
  scheme.  Thanks to Nicolas Joly for reporting the issue.

    reporting the typo.
- Fixed a problem in the TCP BTL when using MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE.
  Thanks to Evgueni Petrov for reporting.
- Fixed external32 representation in the romio314 module.  Note that
  for now, external32 representation is not correctly supported by the
  ompio module.  Thanks to Thomas Gastine for bringing this to our
  attention.
- Add note how to disable a warning message about when a high-speed
  MPI transport is not found.  Thanks to Susan Schwarz for reporting
  the issue.

  for the report.
- The "self" BTL now uses less memory.
- The vader BTL is now more efficient in terms of memory usage when
  using XPMEM.
- Removed the --enable-openib-failover configure option.  This is not

  opal_hwloc_base_hwthreads_as_cpus MCA parameter is set.
- Add support for 32-bit and floating point Cray Aries atomic
  operations.
- Add support for network AMOs for MPI_ACCUMULATE, MPI_FETCH_AND_OP,

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.

** 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

1.7.4: 5 Feb 2014
-----------------

 **********************************************************************
 *      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.

  suite.  Inspired directly from the upstream Libtool patches that fix
  the issue (but we need something working before the next Libtool
  release).


1.4: 8 Dec 2009
---------------

The *only* change in the Open MPI v1.4 release (as compared to v1.3.4)
was to update the embedded version of Libtool's libltdl to address a
potential security vulnerability.  Specifically: Open MPI v1.3.4 was
created with GNU Libtool 2.2.6a; Open MPI v1.4 was created with GNU
Libtool 2.2.6b.  There are no other changes between Open MPI v1.3.4
and v1.4.


1.3.4: 13 Feb 2010
------------------

- Fix some issues in OMPI's SRPM with regard to shell_scripts_basename

- Allow the overriding RFC1918 and RFC3330 for the specification of
  "private" networks, thereby influencing Open MPI's TCP
  "reachability" computations.

  shared memory progression rules and by enabling the "sync" collective
  to barrier every 1,000th collective.
- Various fixes for the IBM XL C/C++ v10.1 compiler.
- Allow explicit disabling of ptmalloc2 hooks at runtime (e.g., enable
  support for Debian's builtroot system).  Thanks to Manuel Prinz and

  MPI_STATUS_IGNORE parameter.  Thanks to Shaun Jackman for the bug
  report.
- Added Microsoft Windows support.  See README.WINDOWS file for
  details.


1.3.2: 22 Apr 2009
------------------

- Fixed a potential infinite loop in the openib BTL that could occur
  in senders in some frequent-communication scenarios.  Thanks to Don
  Wood for reporting the problem.

  extra state.
- A variety of ob1 (main MPI point-to-point communication engine) bug
  fixes that could have caused hangs or seg faults.

  http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/announce/2009/03/0029.php.
  Open MPI now uses a much more robust memory intercept scheme that is
  quite similar to what is used by MX.  The use of "-lopenmpi-malloc"
  is no longer necessary, is deprecated, and is expected to disappear
  in a future release.  -lopenmpi-malloc will continue to work for the
  duration of the Open MPI v1.3 and v1.4 series.
- Fix some OpenFabrics shutdown errors, both regarding iWARP and SRQ.
- Allow the udapl BTL to work on Solaris platforms that support
  relaxed PCI ordering.
- Fix problem where the mpirun would sometimes use rsh/ssh to launch on
  the localhost (instead of simply forking).
- Minor SLURM stdin fixes.
- Fix to run properly under SGE jobs.
- Scalability and latency improvements for shared memory jobs: convert
  to using one message queue instead of N queues.
- Automatically size the shared-memory area (mmap file) to match
  better what is needed;  specifically, so that large-np jobs will start.
- Use fixed-length MPI predefined handles in order to provide ABI
  compatibility between Open MPI releases.
- Fix building of the posix paffinity component to properly get the
  number of processors in loosely tested environments (e.g.,
  FreeBSD).  Thanks to Steve Kargl for reporting the issue.
- Fix --with-libnuma handling in configure.  Thanks to Gus Correa for
  reporting the problem.


1.3.1: 19 Mar 2009
------------------

- Added "sync" coll component to allow users to synchronize every N
  collective operations on a given communicator.
- Increased the default values of the IB and RNR timeout MCA parameters.
- Fix a compiler error noted by Mostyn Lewis with the PGI 8.0 compiler.

  has gaps in the beginning.
- Fix an error that limited the number of comm_spawns that could
  simultaneously be running in some environments
- Correct a corner case in OB1's GET protocol for long messages; the
  error could sometimes cause MPI jobs using the openib BTL to hang.

- Increased the size of MPI_MAX_PORT_NAME to 1024 from 36. See ticket #1533.
- Added "notify debugger on abort" feature. See tickets #1509 and #1510.
  Thanks to Seppo Sahrakropi for the bug report.
- Upgraded Open MPI tarballs to use Autoconf 2.63, Automake 1.10.1,
  Libtool 2.2.6a.
- Added missing MPI::Comm::Call_errhandler() function.  Thanks to Dave
  Goodell for bringing this to our attention.
- Increased MPI_SUBVERSION value in mpi.h to 1 (i.e., MPI 2.1).
- Changed behavior of MPI_GRAPH_CREATE, MPI_TOPO_CREATE, and several
  other topology functions per MPI-2.1.
- Fix the type of the C++ constant MPI::IN_PLACE.
- Various enhancements to the openib BTL:
  - Added btl_openib_if_[in|ex]clude MCA parameters for
    including/excluding comma-delimited lists of HCAs and ports.
  - Added RDMA CM support, includng btl_openib_cpc_[in|ex]clude MCA
    parameters
  - Added NUMA support to only use "near" network adapters

    memory, including btl_openib_receive_queues MCA parameter
  - Added ConnectX XRC support (and integrated with BSRQ)
  - Added btl_openib_ib_max_inline_data MCA parameter
  - Added iWARP support
  - Revamped flow control mechansisms to be more efficient
  - "mpi_leave_pinned=1" is now the default when possible,
    automatically improving performance for large messages when
    application buffers are re-used
- Elimiated duplicated error messages when multiple MPI processes fail
  with the same error.
- Added NUMA support to the shared memory BTL.
- Add Valgrind-based memory checking for MPI-semantic checks.
- Add support for some optional Fortran datatypes (MPI_LOGICAL1,
  MPI_LOGICAL2, MPI_LOGICAL4 and MPI_LOGICAL8).
- Remove the use of the STL from the C++ bindings.
- Added support for Platform/LSF job launchers.  Must be Platform LSF
  v7.0.2 or later.
- Updated ROMIO with the version from MPICH2 1.0.7.
- Added RDMA capable one-sided component (called rdma), which
  can be used with BTL components that expose a full one-sided
  interface.
- Added the optional datatype MPI_REAL2. As this is added to the "end of"
  predefined datatypes in the fortran header files, there will not be
  any compatibility issues.
- Added Portable Linux Processor Affinity (PLPA) for Linux.
- Addition of a finer symbols export control via the visibiliy feature
  offered by some compilers.
- Added checkpoint/restart process fault tolerance support. Initially
  support a LAM/MPI-like protocol.
- Removed "mvapi" BTL; all InfiniBand support now uses the OpenFabrics
  driver stacks ("openib" BTL).
- Added more stringent MPI API parameter checking to help user-level
  debugging.
- The ptmalloc2 memory manager component is now by default built as
  a standalone library named libopenmpi-malloc.  Users wanting to
  use leave_pinned with ptmalloc2 will now need to link the library
  into their application explicitly.  All other users will use the
  libc-provided allocator instead of Open MPI's ptmalloc2.  This change
  may be overriden with the configure option enable-ptmalloc2-internal
- The leave_pinned options will now default to using mallopt on
  Linux in the cases where ptmalloc2 was not linked in.  mallopt
  will also only be available if munmap can be intercepted (the
  default whenever Open MPI is not compiled with --without-memory-
  manager.
- Open MPI will now complain and refuse to use leave_pinned if
  no memory intercept / mallopt option is available.
- Add option of using Perl-based wrapper compilers instead of the
  C-based wrapper compilers.  The Perl-based version does not
  have the features of the C-based version, but does work better
  in cross-compile environments.
