+ **********************************************************************
+ *      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:
+ *   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.

 - Made <mpi.h> include chain be C++11 compliant.  Thanks to Jeremiah
   Willcock for reporting the issue.
 - Fixed regression where Open MPI installed libevent files.  Thanks to
   Dominique Orban for bringing the issue to our attention.
