- new preferred API calls for registering MCA parameters are
mca_base_param_reg_{int|string} and
mca_base_param_reg_{int|string}_name.
- See opal/mca/base/mca_base_param.h for docs on new calls.
- Can now register and lookup a value at the same time.
- Can now mark a parameter "read only" at registration time
- Can now mark a parameter "internal" at registration time
- Can now associate a help message with the parameter at registration
time; displayed in the ompi_info output.
The old API calls are still available for backwards compatibility
(mca_base_param_register_{int|string}. They will eventually be
removed -- all developers are encouraged to use the new APIs from here
on out and replace any old calls with the new API.
Some params were also renamed -- the previous convention of using
"base_" as a prefix for any param that was not associated with a
component is henceforth deprecated. Instead, use one of the following
prefixes:
mca: for anything in the MCA base itself
opal: for anything in OPAL
orte: for anything in ORTE
mpi: for anything in OMPI

* add btl back into ompi_info. Since it now directly calls the
open/close, the missing symbol problems Ralph was seeing when ob1 is
ignored will not occur.
This commit was SVN r6652.
support in OMPI. Currently only enables/disables the architecture
sharing modex in ob1 pml.
* Add sds framework to ompi_info
* Figure out table ids to use for Portals BTL at configure time, since
we should use 30 & 31 on Red Storm, but the reference implementation
only supports 0-8.
* Some bug fixes in Portals UTCP sds
This commit was SVN r6650.
* Add ability to completely disable libltdl (the dlopen code to load
dynamic shared objects) to configure: --disable-dlopen
* Added MCA param (component_disable_dlopen) to disable DSO loading
at runtime
* Made the event library behave in some not-completely-erroneous way
on platforms where it has absolutely no eventops support (ie, no
select, poll, or epoll)
* Disabled orte_wait, opal_few, and opal_daemon_init code on
platforms without fork, waitpid support. All non-init functions
will return OPMI_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED
* Disable orteprobe tool when fork or pipe aren't supported

- After long discussions and ruminations on how we run components in
LAM/MPI, made the decision that, by default, all components included
in Open MPI will use the version number of their parent project
(i.e., OMPI or ORTE). They are certaint free to use a different
number, but this simplification makes the common cases easy:
- components are only released when the parent project is released
- it is easy (trivial?) to distinguish which version component goes
with with version of the parent project
- removed all autogen/configure code for templating the version .h
file in components
- made all ORTE components use ORTE_*_VERSION for version numbers
- made all OMPI components use OMPI_*_VERSION for version numbers
- removed all VERSION files from components
- configure now displays OPAL, ORTE, and OMPI version numbers
- ditto for ompi_info
- right now, faking it -- OPAL and ORTE and OMPI will always have the
same version number (i.e., they all come from the same top-level
VERSION file). But this paves the way for the Great Configure
Reorganization, where, among other things, each project will have
its own version number.
So all in all, we went from a boatload of version numbers to
[effectively] three. That's pretty good. :-)
