+- Various fixes to the hcoll and FCA collective offload modules.
+- Prevent integer when creating datatypes.  Thanks to original patch from
+  Gilles Gouaillardet.
+- Port some upstream hwloc fixes to Open MPI's embedded copy for
+  working around buggy NUMA node cpusets and including mising header
+  files.  Thanks to Jeff Becker and Paul Hargrove for reporting the
+  issues.
+- Fix recursive invocation issues in the MXM MTL.
+- Various bug fixes to the new MCA parameter back-end system.
+- Have the posix fbtl module link against -laio on NetBSD platforms.
+  Thanks to Paul Hargrove for noticing the issue.
+- Various updates and fixes to network filesystem detection to support
+  more operating systems.
+- Add gfortran v4.9 "ignore TKR" syntax to the mpi Fortran module.
+- Various compiler fixes for several BSD-based platforms.  Thanks to
+  Paul Hargrove for reporting the issues.
+- Fix when MPI_COMM_SPAWN[_MULTIPLE] is used on oversubscribed
+  systems.
+- Change the output from --report bindings to simply state that a
+  process is not bound, instead of reporting that it is bound to all
+  processors.
+- Per MPI-3.0 guidance, remove support for all MPI subroutines with
+  choice buffers from the TKR-based mpi Fortran module.  Thanks to Jed
+  Brown for raising the issue.
+- Only allow the usnic BTL to build on 64 bit platforms.
+- Various bug fixes to SLURM support, to include ensuring proper
+  exiting on abnormal termination.
+- Ensure that MPI_COMM_SPAWN[_MULTIPLE] jobs get the same mapping
+  directives that were used with mpirun.
+- Fixed the application of TCP_NODELAY.
+- Change the TCP BTL to not warn if a non-existent interface is
+  ignored.
+- Restored the "--bycore" mpirun option for backwards compatibility.
+- Fixed debugger attach functionality.  Thanks to Ashley Pittman for
+  reporting the issue and suggesting the fix.
+- Fixed faulty MPI_IBCAST when invoked on a communicator with only
+  one process.
+- Add new Mellanox device IDs to the openib BTL.
+- Progress towards cleaning up various internal memory leaks as
+  reported by Valgrind.
+- Fixed some annoying flex-generated warnings that have been there for
+  years.  Thanks to Tom Fogal for the initial patch.
+- Support user-provided environment variables via the "env" info key
+  to MPI_COMM_SPAWN[_MULTIPLE].  Thanks to Tom Fogal for the feature
+  request.
+- Fix uninitialized variable in MPI_DIST_GRAPH_CREATE.

+  Siegmar Gross for reporting and testing all the issues.

+  will be used.
+- Correctly handle the convertor internal stack for persistent
+  receives.  Thanks to Guillaume Gouaillardet for identifying the
+  problem.
+- Add support for using an external libevent via --with-libevent.  See
+  the README for more details.
+- Various OMPIO updates and fixes.
+- Add support for the MPIEXEC_TIMEOUT environment variable.  If set,
+  mpirun will terminate the job after this many seconds.
+- Update the internal copy of ROMIO to that which shipped in MPICH
+  3.0.4.
+- Various performance tweaks and improvements in the usnic BTL,
+  including now reporting MPI_T performance variables for each usnic
+  device.
+- Fix to not access send datatypes for non-root processes with

+  supplying the initial patch.
+- Update VampirTrace to 5.14.4.9.
+- Fix ptmalloc2 hook disable when used with ummunotify.
+- Change the default connection manager for the openib BTL to be based
+  on UD verbs data exchanges instead of ORTE OOB data exchanges.

+- Update man pages for MPI-3, and add some missing man pages for
+  MPI-2.x functions.
+- Updated mpi_f08 module in accordance with post-MPI-3.0 errata which
+  basically removed BIND(C) from all interfaces.
+- Fixed MPI_IN_PLACE detection for MPI_SCATTER[V] in Fortran
+  routines.  Thanks to Charles Gerlach for identifying the issue.
+- Added support for routable RoCE to the openib BTL.
+- Update embedded hwloc to v1.7.2.
