- Fixes for endian handling in MPI process startup.
- Openib BTL initialization fixes for cases where MPI processes in the
same job has different numbers of active ports on the same physical
fabric.
- Print more descriptive information when displaying backtraces on
OS's that support this functionality, such as the hostname and PID
of the process in question.
- Fixes to properly handle MPI exceptions in C++ on communicators,
windows, and files.
- Much more reliable runtime support, particularly with regards to MPI
job startup scalability, BProc support, and cleanup in failure
scenarios (e.g., MPI_ABORT, MPI processes abnormally terminating,
etc.).
- Significant performance improvements for MPI collectives on
high-speed networks.
- Various fixes in both the MX BTL and MTL components.
- Fix C++ typecast problems with MPI_ERRCODES_IGNORE. Thanks to
Satish Balay for bringing this to our attention.
- Allow run-time specification of the maximum amount of registered
memory for OpenFabrics and GM.
- Users who utilize the wrapper compilers (e.g., mpicc and mpif77)
will not notice, but the underlying library names for ORTE and OPAL
have changed to libopen-rte and libopen-pal, respectively (listed

incorrect request values. Thanks to Tim Campbell for pointing out
the problem.
