===========================================================================
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.
1.8.3
-----
- Fixed application abort bug to ensure that MPI_Abort exits appropriately
and returns the provided exit status
- Fixed some alignment (not all) issues identified by Clang
- Allow CUDA-aware to work with nonblocking collectives. Forces packing to
happen when using GPU buffers.
- Fixed configure test issue with Intel 2015 Fortran compiler
- Fixed some PGI-related errors
- Provide better help message when encountering a firewall
- Fixed MCA parameter quoting to protect multi-word params and params
that contain special characters
- Improved the bind-to help message to clarify the defaults
- Add new MPI-3.1 tools interface
- Several performance optimizations and memory leak cleanups
- Turn off the coll/ml plugin unless specifically requested as it
remains in an experimental state
- Fix LSF support by adding required libraries for the latest LSF
releases. Thanks to Joshua Randal for supplying the initial
patches.
1.8.2
-----
- Fix auto-wireup of OOB, allowing ORTE to automatically
test all available NICs
- "Un-deprecate" pernode, npernode, and npersocket options
by popular demand
- Add missing Fortran bindings for MPI_WIN_LOCK_ALL,
MPI_WIN_UNLOCK_ALL, and MPI_WIN_SYNC.
- Fix cascading/over-quoting in some cases with the rsh/ssh-based
launcher. Thanks to multiple users for raising the issue.
- Properly add support for gfortran 4.9 ignore TKR pragma (it was
erroneously only partially added in v1.7.5). Thanks to Marcus
Daniels for raising the issue.
- Update/improve help messages in the usnic BTL.
- Resolve a race condition in MPI_Abort.
- Fix obscure cases where static linking from wrapper compilers would
fail.
- Clarify the configure --help message about when OpenSHMEM is
enabled/disabled by default. Thanks to Paul Hargrove for the
suggestion.
- Align pages properly where relevant. Thanks to Paul Hargrove for
identifying the issue.
- Various compiler warning and minor fixes for OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and
Solaris/SPARC. Thanks to Paul Hargrove for the patches.
- Properly pass function pointers from Fortran to C in the mpi_f08
module, thereby now supporting gfortran 4.9. Thanks to Tobias
Burnus for assistance and testing with this issue.
- Improve support for Cray CLE 5.
- Fix mpirun regression: ensure exit status is non-zero if mpirun is
terminated due to signal.
- Improved CUDA efficiency of asynchronous copies.
- Fix to parameter type in MPI_Type_indexed.3. Thanks to Bastian
Beischer for reporting the mistake.
- Fix NUMA distance calculations in the openib BTL.
- Decrease time required to shut down mpirun at the end of a job.
- More RMA fixes.
- More hostfile fixes from Tetsuya Mishima.
- Fix darray issue where UB was not computed correctly.
- Fix mpi_f08 parameter name for MPI_GET_LIBRARY_VERSION. Thanks to
Junchao Zhang for pointing out the issue.
- Ensure mpirun aborts properly when unable to map processes in
scheduled environments.
- Ensure that MPI RMA error codes show up properly. Thanks to
Lisandro Dalcin for reporting the issue.
- Minor bug fixes and improvements to the bash and zsh mpirun
autocompletion scripts.
- Fix sequential mpirun process mapper. Thanks to Bill Chen for
reporting the issue.
- Correct SLURM stdout/stderr redirection.
- Added missing portals 4 files.
- Performance improvements for blocking sends and receives.
- Lots of cleanup to the ml collective component
- Added new Java methods to provide full MPI coverage
- Many OSHMEM cleanups
- Prevent comm_spawn from automatically launching a VM across
all available nodes
- Close many memory leaks to achieve valgrind-clean operation
- Better handling of TCP connection discovery for mismatched networks
where we don't have a direct 1:1 subnet match between nodes
- Prevent segfault when OMPI info tools are used in pipes and user
exits one step of that pipe before completing output
1.8.1
-----
- Fix for critical bug: mpirun removed files (but not directories)
from / when run as root. Thanks to Jay Fenlason and Orion Poplawski
for bringing the issue to our attention and helping identify the
fix.
1.8
---
- Commit upstream ROMIO fix for mixed NFS+local filesystem environments.
- Several fixes for MPI-3 one-sided support. For example,
arbitrary-length datatypes are now supported.
- Add config support for the Mellanox ConnectX 4 card.
- Add missing MPI_COMM_GET|SET_INFO functions, and missing
MPI_WEIGHTS_EMPTY and MPI_ERR_RMA_SHARED constants. Thanks to
Lisandro Dalcin for pointing out the issue.
- Update some help messages in OSHMEM, the usnic BTL, the TCP BTL, and
ORTE, and update documentation about ompi_info's --level option.
- Fix some compiler warnings.
- Ensure that ORTE daemons are not bound to a single processor
if TaskAffinity is set on by default in Slurm. Thanks to Artem Polyakov
for identifying the problem and providing a patch
1.7.5
-----
**********************************************************************
* Open MPI is now fully MPI-3.0 compliant
**********************************************************************
- Add Linux OpenSHMEM support built on top of Open MPI's MPI
layer. Thanks to Mellanox for contributing this new feature.
- Allow restricting ORTE daemons to specific cores using the
orte_daemon_cores MCA param.
- Ensure to properly set "locality" flags for processes launched via
MPI dynamic functions such as MPI_COMM_SPAWN.
- Fix MPI_GRAPH_CREATE when nnodes is smaller than the size of the old
communicator.
- usnic BTL now supports underlying UDP transport.
- usnic BTL now checks for common connectivty errors at first send to
a remote server.
- Minor scalability improvements in the usnic BTL.
- ompi_info now lists whether the Java MPI bindings are available or not.

**********************************************************************
* 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:
* if default mapping is used, then default to rank-by slot
* if map-by <obj> is given, then 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.
