 1.8.4
 -----
 
+- Fix MPI_SIZEOF; now available in mpif.h for modern Fortran compilers
+  (see README for more details).  Also fixed various compiler/linker
+  errors.
+- Fixed inadvertant Fortran ABI break between v1.8.1 and v1.8.2 in the
+  mpi interface module when compiled with gfortran >= v4.9.
+- Fix various MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE issues in the TCP BTL.
+- mpirun no longer requires the --hetero-nodes switch; it will
+  automatically detect when running in heterogeneous scenarios.
+- Update LSF support, to include revamped affinity functionality.
+- Update embedded hwloc to v1.9.1.
+- Fixed max registerable memory computation in the openib BTL.
+- Updated error message when debuggers are unable to find various
+  symbols/types to be more clear.  Thanks to Dave Love for raising the
+  issue.
+- Added proper support for LSF and PBS/Torque libraries in static builds.
+- Rankfiles now support physical processor IDs.
+- Fixed potential hang in MPI_ABORT.
+- Fixed problems with the PSM MTL and "re-connect" scenarios, such as
+  MPI_INTERCOMM_CREATE.
+- Fix MPI_IREDUCE_SCATTER with a single process.
+- Fix (rare) race condition in stdout/stderr funneling to mpirun where
+  some trailing output could get lost when a process terminated.
 - Removed inadvertent change that set --enable-mpi-thread-multiple "on"
   by default, thus impacting performance for non-threaded apps.
 - Significantly reduced startup time by optimizing internal hash table

 - Re-enabled the use of CMA and knem in the shared memory BTL.
 - Updated mpirun manpage to correctly explain new map/rank/binding options.
 - Fixed MPI_IALLGATHER problem with intercommunicators.  Thanks for

+- Numerous updates and performance improvements to OpenSHMEM.
+- Turned off message coalescing in the openib BTL until a proper fix
+  for that capability can be provided (tentatively expected for 1.8.5)
+- Fix a bug in iof output that dates back to the dinosaurs which would
+  output extra bytes if the system was very heavily loaded
+- Fix a bug where specifying mca_component_show_load_errors=0 could
+  cause ompi_info to segfault
