Jeff Squyres 99dbb6a0be Moved a few NEWS items down from "on the trunk" to v1.7. Also added 
some more items that I have personal knowledge of.  I'm sure there are
(many) other things that need to be listed in the 1.7 section; I was
just thinking about the Fortran stuff, so I did the ones that I know
off the top of my head.

This commit was SVN r26970.

===========================================================================
This file contains the main features as well as overviews of specific
bug fixes (and other actions) for each version of Open MPI since
version 1.0.
As more fully described in the "Software Version Number" section in
the README file, Open MPI typically releases two separate version
series simultaneously. Since these series have different goals and
are semi-independent of each other, a single NEWS-worthy item may be
introduced into different series at different times. For example,
feature F was introduced in the vA.B series at version vA.B.C, and was
later introduced into the vX.Y series at vX.Y.Z.
The first time feature F is released, the item will be listed in the
vA.B.C section, denoted as:
(** also to appear: X.Y.Z) -- indicating that this item is also
likely to be included in future release
version vX.Y.Z.
When vX.Y.Z is later released, the same NEWS-worthy item will also be
included in the vX.Y.Z section and be denoted as:
(** also appeared: A.B.C) -- indicating that this item was previously
included in release version vA.B.C.
Trunk (not on release branches yet)
-----------------------------------
- ErrMgr framework redesigned to better support fault tolerance development
activities. See the following RFC for details:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2010/03/7589.php
- Add new sensor framework to ORTE that includes modules for detecting
stalled applications and processes that consume too much memory.
- Add new state framework to ORTE for saving and retrieving state
information (both application and system) to/from a database.
- Add new "orte-info" tool that provides MCA params for only ORTE and
OPAL levels - intended for use when configuring without MPI support
- Added a new MCA parameter (ess_base_stream_buffering) that allows the user
to override the system default for buffering of stdout/stderr streams
(via setvbuf).
1.7
---
- Added MPI-3 functionality:
- MPI_GET_LIBRARY_VERSION
- Matched probe
- MPI_TYPE_CREATE_HINDEXED_BLOCK
- Non-blocking collectives
- Enabled compile-time warning of deprecated MPI functions by default
(in supported compilers).

- "use mpi_f08" bindings (for compilers that support it)
- Better "use mpi" support (for compilers that support it)
- Removed incorrect MPI_SCATTERV interface from "mpi" module that was
added in the 1.5.x series for ABI reasons.
- Modified paffinity system to provide warning when bindings result in
being "bound to all", which is equivalent to "not bound"
- Removed maffinity, paffinity, and carto frameworks (and associated
MCA params).
- Added support for the DMTCP checkpoint/restart system.
- Revamped autogen / build system.
1.6.1
-----
- A bunch of changes to eliminate hangs on OpenFabrics-based networks.
Users with Mellanox hardware are ***STRONGLY ENCOURAGED*** to check
their registered memory kernel module settings to ensure that the OS
will allow registering more than 8GB of memory. See this FAQ item
for details:
http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=openfabrics#ib-low-reg-mem
- Fall back to send/receive semantics if registered memory is
unavilable for RDMA.
- Fix two fragment leaks when registered memory is exhausted.
- Hueristically determine how much registered memory is available
and warn if it's significantly less than all of RAM.
- Artifically limit the amount of registered memory each MPI process
can use to about 1/Nth to total registered memory available.
- Improve error messages when events occur that are likely due to
unexpected registered memory exhaustion.
- Remove the last openib default per-peer receive queue
specification (and make it an SRQ).
- Switch the MPI_ALLTOALLV default algorithm to a pairwise exchange.
- Increase the openib BTL default CQ length to handle more types of
OpenFabrics devices.
- Lots of VampirTrace fixes; upgrade to v5.13.0.4.
- Map MPI_2INTEGER to underlying MPI_INTEGERs, not MPI_INTs.
- Ensure that the OMPI version number is toleant of handling spaces.
Thanks to dragonboy for identifying the issue.

overrides supplying an _exclude list).
- Apply more scalable reachability algorithm on platforms with more
than 8 TCP interfaces.
- Various assembly code updates for more modern platforms / compilers.

- Add pkg-config(1) configuration files for ompi, ompi-c, ompi-cxx,
ompi-f77, ompi-f90. See the README for more details.
- Removed the libopenmpi_malloc library (added in the v1.3 series)
since it is no longer necessary

system/network administrator-worthy problems); each have their own
MCA parameters to govern their usage. See "ompi_info --param
notifier <name>" for more details.
- command to execute arbitrary commands (e.g., run a script).

1.4
---
The *only* change in the Open MPI v1.4 release (as compared to v1.3.4)
was to update the embedded version of Libtool's libltdl to address a
potential security vulnerability. Specifically: Open MPI v1.3.4 was
created with GNU Libtool 2.2.6a; Open MPI v1.4 was created with GNU
Libtool 2.2.6b. There are no other changes between Open MPI v1.3.4
and v1.4.

libltdl from that used to build Open MPI.
1.3.3
-----
- Fix a number of issues with the openib BTL (OpenFabrics) RDMA CM,
including a memory corruption bug, a shutdown deadlock, and a route
timeout. Thanks to David McMillen and Hal Rosenstock for help in
tracking down the issues.

Fortran attribute callback functions: this value is now stored
internally in MPI -- it no longer references the original value
passed by MPI_*_CREATE_KEYVAL.
- Allow the overriding RFC1918 and RFC3330 for the specification of
"private" networks, thereby influencing Open MPI's TCP
"reachability" computations.

Open MPI now uses a much more robust memory intercept scheme that is
quite similar to what is used by MX. The use of "-lopenmpi-malloc"
is no longer necessary, is deprecated, and is expected to disappear
in a future release. -lopenmpi-malloc will continue to work for the
duration of the Open MPI v1.3 and v1.4 series.
- Fix some OpenFabrics shutdown errors, both regarding iWARP and SRQ.
- Allow the udapl BTL to work on Solaris platforms that support
relaxed PCI ordering.
- Fix problem where the mpirun would sometimes use rsh/ssh to launch on
the localhost (instead of simply forking).
- Minor SLURM stdin fixes.
- Fix to run properly under SGE jobs.
- Scalability and latency improvements for shared memory jobs: convert
to using one message queue instead of N queues.

Thanks to Seppo Sahrakropi for the bug report.
- Upgraded Open MPI tarballs to use Autoconf 2.63, Automake 1.10.1,
Libtool 2.2.6a.
- Added missing MPI::Comm::Call_errhandler() function. Thanks to Dave
Goodell for bringing this to our attention.

memory, including btl_openib_receive_queues MCA parameter
- Added ConnectX XRC support (and integrated with BSRQ)
- Added btl_openib_ib_max_inline_data MCA parameter
- Added iWARP support
- Revamped flow control mechansisms to be more efficient
- "mpi_leave_pinned=1" is now the default when possible,
automatically improving performance for large messages when
application buffers are re-used
- Elimiated duplicated error messages when multiple MPI processes fail
with the same error.
- Added NUMA support to the shared memory BTL.
- Add Valgrind-based memory checking for MPI-semantic checks.
- Add support for some optional Fortran datatypes (MPI_LOGICAL1,
MPI_LOGICAL2, MPI_LOGICAL4 and MPI_LOGICAL8).
- Remove the use of the STL from the C++ bindings.
- Added support for Platform/LSF job launchers. Must be Platform LSF
v7.0.2 or later.
- Updated ROMIO with the version from MPICH2 1.0.7.
- Added RDMA capable one-sided component (called rdma), which
can be used with BTL components that expose a full one-sided
interface.
- Added the optional datatype MPI_REAL2. As this is added to the "end of"
predefined datatypes in the fortran header files, there will not be
any compatibility issues.
- Added Portable Linux Processor Affinity (PLPA) for Linux.
- Addition of a finer symbols export control via the visibiliy feature
offered by some compilers.
- Added checkpoint/restart process fault tolerance support. Initially
support a LAM/MPI-like protocol.
- Removed "mvapi" BTL; all InfiniBand support now uses the OpenFabrics
driver stacks ("openib" BTL).
- Added more stringent MPI API parameter checking to help user-level
debugging.
- The ptmalloc2 memory manager component is now by default built as
a standalone library named libopenmpi-malloc. Users wanting to
use leave_pinned with ptmalloc2 will now need to link the library
into their application explicitly. All other users will use the
libc-provided allocator instead of Open MPI's ptmalloc2. This change
may be overriden with the configure option enable-ptmalloc2-internal
- The leave_pinned options will now default to using mallopt on
Linux in the cases where ptmalloc2 was not linked in. mallopt
will also only be available if munmap can be intercepted (the
default whenever Open MPI is not compiled with --without-memory-
manager.
- Open MPI will now complain and refuse to use leave_pinned if
no memory intercept / mallopt option is available.
- Add option of using Perl-based wrapper compilers instead of the
C-based wrapper compilers. The Perl-based version does not
have the features of the C-based version, but does work better
in cross-compile environments.

stacks executable (lame but necessary).
- Add missing MPI::Request::Get_status() methods. Thanks to Bill
Saphir for pointing this out to us.
- Improved error messages on memory registration errors (e.g., when
using high-speed networks).
- Open IB support now checks firmware for how many outstanding RDMA
requests are supported. Thanks to Mellanox for pointing this out to
us.
- Enable printing of stack traces in MPI processes upon SIGBUS,
SIGSEGV, and SIGFPE if the platform supports it.
- Fixed F90 compilation support for the Lahey compiler.
- Fixed issues with ROMIO shared library support.
- Fixed internal accounting problems with rsh support.
- Update to GNU Libtool 1.5.22.
- Fix error in configure script when setting CCAS to ias (the Intel
assembler).
- Added missing MPI::Intercomm collectives.
- Fixed MPI_IN_PLACE handling for Fortran collectives.
- Fixed some more C++ const_cast<> issues. Thanks for Martin Audet
(again) for bringing this to our attention.
- Updated ROMIO with the version from MPICH 1.2.7p1, marked as version
2005-06-09.
- Fixes for some cases where the use of MPI_BOTTOM could cause
problems.
- Properly handle the case where an mVAPI does not have shared receive
queue support (such as the one shipped by SilverStorm / Infinicon
for OS X).
1.0.1
-----
- Fixed assembly on Solaris AMD platforms. Thanks to Pierre Valiron
for bringing this to our attention.
- Fixed long messages in the send-to-self case.
- Ensure that when the "leave_pinned" option is used, the memory hooks
are also enabled. Thanks to Gleb Natapov for pointing this out.
- Fixed compile errors for IRIX.
- Allow hostfiles to have integer host names (for BProc clusters).
- Fixed a problem with message matching of out-of-order fragments in
multiple network device scenarios.
- Converted all the C++ MPI bindings to use proper const_cast<>'s
instead of old C-style casts to get rid of const-ness. Thanks to
Martin Audet for raising the issue with us.
- Converted MPI_Offset to be a typedef instead of a #define because it
causes problems for some C++ parsers. Thanks to Martin Audet for
bringing this to our attention.
- Improved latency of TCP BTL.
- Fixed index value in MPI_TESTANY to be MPI_UNDEFINED if some
requests were not MPI_REQUEST_NULL, but no requests finished.
- Fixed several Fortran MPI API implementations that incorrectly used
integers instead of logicals or address-sized integers.
- Fix so that Open MPI correctly handles the Fortran value for .TRUE.,
regardless of what the Fortran compiler's value for .TRUE. is.
- Improved scalability of MX startup.
- Fix datatype offset handling in the coll basic component's
MPI_SCATTERV implementation.
- Fix EOF handling on stdin.
- Fix missing MPI_F_STATUS_IGNORE and MPI_F_STATUSES_IGNORE
instanatiations. Thanks to Anthony Chan for pointing this out.
- Add a missing value for MPI_WIN_NULL in mpif.h.
- Bring over some fixes for the sm btl that somehow didn't make it
over from the trunk before v1.0. Thanks to Beth Tibbitts and Bill
Chung for helping identify this issue.
- Bring over some fixes for the iof that somehow didn't make it over
from the trunk before v1.0.
- Fix for --with-wrapper-ldflags handling. Thanks to Dries Kimpe for
pointing this out to us.
