===========================================================================
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.
Master (not on release branches yet)
------------------------------------
**********************************************************************
* PRE-DEPRECATION WARNING: MPIR Support
*
* As was announced in summer 2017, Open MPI is deprecating support for
* MPIR-based tools beginning with the future release of OMPI v5.0, with
* full removal of that support tentatively planned for OMPI v6.0.
*
* This serves as a pre-deprecation warning to provide tools developers
* with sufficient time to migrate to PMIx. Support for PMIx-based
* tools will be rolled out during the OMPI v4.x series. No runtime
* deprecation warnings will be output during this time.
*
* Runtime deprecation warnings will be output beginning with the OMPI v5.0
* release whenever MPIR-based tools connect to Open MPI's mpirun/mpiexec
* launcher.
**********************************************************************
- Fix rank-by algorithms to properly rank by object and span
- Do not build Open SHMEM layer when there are no SPMLs available.
Currently, this means the Open SHMEM layer will only build if
a MXM or UCX library is found.
4.0.4 -- May, 2020
-----------------------
- Add checks to avoid conflicts with a libevent library shipped with LSF.
- Switch to linking against libevent_core rather than libevent, if present.
- Add improved support for UCX 1.9 and later.
- Fix an ABI compatibility issue with the Fortran 2008 bindings.
Thanks to Alastair McKinstry for reporting.
- Fix an issue with rpath of /usr/lib64 when building OMPI on
systems with Lustre. Thanks to David Shrader for reporting.
- Fix a memory leak occurring with certain MPI RMA operations.
- Fix an issue with ORTE's mapping of MPI processes to resources.
Thanks to Alex Margolin for reporting and providing a fix.
- Correct a problem with incorrect error codes being returned
by OMPI MPI_T functions.
- Fix an issue with debugger tools not being able to attach
to mpirun more than once. Thanks to Gregory Lee for reporting.
- Fix an issue with the Fortran compiler wrappers when using
NAG compilers. Thanks to Peter Brady for reporting.
- Fix an issue with the ORTE ssh based process launcher at scale.
Thanks to Benjamín Hernández for reporting.
- Address an issue when using shared MPI I/O operations. OMPIO will
now successfully return from the file open statement but will
raise an error if the file system does not supported shared I/O
operations. Thanks to Romain Hild for reporting.
- Fix an issue with MPI_WIN_DETACH. Thanks to Thomas Naughton for reporting.
4.0.3 -- March, 2020
-----------------------
- Update embedded PMIx to 3.1.5
- Add support for Mellanox ConnectX-6.
- Fix an issue in OpenMPI IO when using shared file pointers.
Thanks to Romain Hild for reporting.
- Fix a problem with Open MPI using a previously installed
Fortran mpi module during compilation. Thanks to Marcin
Mielniczuk for reporting
- Fix a problem with Fortran compiler wrappers ignoring use of
disable-wrapper-runpath configure option. Thanks to David
Shrader for reporting.
- Fixed an issue with trying to use mpirun on systems where neither
ssh nor rsh is installed.
- Address some problems found when using XPMEM for intra-node message
transport.
- Improve dimensions returned by MPI_Dims_create for certain
cases. Thanks to @aw32 for reporting.
- Fix an issue when sending messages larger than 4GB. Thanks to
Philip Salzmann for reporting this issue.
- Add ability to specify alternative module file path using
Open MPI's RPM spec file. Thanks to @jschwartz-cray for reporting.
- Clarify use of --with-hwloc configuration option in the README.
Thanks to Marcin Mielniczuk for raising this documentation issue.
- Fix an issue with shmem_atomic_set. Thanks to Sameh Sharkawi for reporting.

with cyclic boundary conditions. Thanks to Ralph Rabenseifner and
Tony Skjellum for reporting.
- Fix an issue using Open MPIO on 32 bit systems. Thanks to
Orion Poplawski for reporting.
- Fix an issue with NetCDF test deadlocking when using the vulcan
Open MPIO component. Thanks to Orion Poplawski for reporting.
- Fix an issue with the mpi_yield_when_idle parameter being ignored
when set in the Open MPI MCA parameter configuration file.
Thanks to @iassiour for reporting.
- Address an issue with Open MPIO when writing/reading more than 2GB
in an operation. Thanks to Richard Warren for reporting.
4.0.2 -- September, 2019
------------------------
- Update embedded PMIx to 3.1.4
- Enhance Open MPI to detect when processes are running in
different name spaces on the same node, in which case the
vader CMA single copy mechanism is disabled. Thanks

MPI processes to crash or incorrectly classify (or effectively drop)
an MPI message sent via shared memory. If you are using the "ob1"
PML with "vader" for shared memory communication (note that vader is
the default for shared memory communication with ob1), you need to
upgrade to v3.1.2 or later to fix this issue. You may also upgrade
to the following versions to fix this issue:
- Open MPI v2.1.5 (expected end of August, 2018) or later in the
v2.1.x series

one-sided component should live. Defaults to /dev/shm on Linux.
- Fix potential hang on non-x86 platforms when using builds with
optimization flags turned off.
- Disable osc/pt2pt when using MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE due to numerous
race conditions in the component.

name-based parameters in Fortran which used our internal names
rather than those documented in the MPI standard.
- Revamp Java detection to properly handle new Java versions which do
not provide a javah wrapper.
- Fix RMA function signatures for use-mpi-f08 bindings to have the
asynchonous property on all buffers.

- ompi_info parsable output now escapes double quotes in values, and
also quotes values can contains colons. Thanks to Lev Givon for the
suggestion.
- CUDA-aware support can now handle GPUs within a node that do not
support CUDA IPC. Earlier versions would get error and abort.
- Add a mca parameter ras_base_launch_orted_on_hn to allow for launching
MPI processes on the same node where mpirun is executing using a separate
orte daemon, rather than the mpirun process. This may be useful to set to
true when using SLURM, as it improves interoperability with SLURM's signal
propagation tools. By default it is set to false, except for Cray XC systems.
- Remove LoadLeveler RAS support.
- Remove IB XRC support from the OpenIB BTL due to lack of support.
- Add functionality for IBM s390 platforms. Note that regular
regression testing does not occur on the s390 and it is not

default, ompio does not perfom locking on local UNIX file systems, locks the
entire file per operation on NFS file systems, and selective byte-range
locking on other distributed file systems.
- Add an mca parameter pmix_server_usock_connections to allow mpirun to
support applications statically built against the Open MPI v2.x release,
or installed in a container along with the Open MPI v2.x libraries. It is
set to false by default.
3.0.0 -- September, 2017
------------------------
Major new features:
- Use UCX allocator for OSHMEM symmetric heap allocations to optimize intra-node
data transfers. UCX SPML only.
- Use UCX multi-threaded API in the UCX PML. Requires UCX 1.0 or later.
- Added support for Flux PMI
- Update embedded PMIx to version 2.1.0
- Update embedded hwloc to version 1.11.7
Changes in behavior compared to prior versions:
- Per Open MPI's versioning scheme (see the README), increasing the
major version number to 3 indicates that this version is not
ABI-compatible with prior versions of Open MPI. In addition, there may
be differences in MCA parameter names and defaults from previous releases.
Command line options for mpirun and other commands may also differ from
previous versions. You will need to recompile MPI and OpenSHMEM applications
to work with this version of Open MPI.
- With this release, Open MPI supports MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE by default.
- New configure options have been added to specify the locations of libnl
and zlib.
- A new configure option has been added to request Flux PMI support.
- The help menu for mpirun and related commands is now context based.
"mpirun --help compatibility" generates the help menu in the same format
as previous releases.
Removed legacy support:
- AIX is no longer supported.
- Loadlever is no longer supported.
- OpenSHMEM currently supports the UCX and MXM transports via the ucx and ikrit
SPMLs respectively.
- Remove IB XRC support from the OpenIB BTL due to lack of support.
- Remove support for big endian PowerPC.
- Remove support for XL compilers older than v13.1
Known issues:
- MPI_Connect/accept between applications started by different mpirun
commands will fail, even if ompi-server is running.
2.1.5 -- August 2018
--------------------
- A subtle race condition bug was discovered in the "vader" BTL
(shared memory communications) that, in rare instances, can cause
MPI processes to crash or incorrectly classify (or effectively drop)
an MPI message sent via shared memory. If you are using the "ob1"
PML with "vader" for shared memory communication (note that vader is
the default for shared memory communication with ob1), you need to
upgrade to v2.1.5 to fix this issue. You may also upgrade to the
following versions to fix this issue:
- Open MPI v3.0.1 (released March, 2018) or later in the v3.0.x
series
- Open MPI v3.1.2 (expected end of August, 2018) or later
- A link issue was fixed when the UCX library was not located in the
linker-default search paths.
2.1.4 -- August, 2018
---------------------
Bug fixes/minor improvements:
- Disable the POWER 7/BE block in configure. Note that POWER 7/BE is
still not a supported platform, but it is no longer automatically
disabled. See
https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues/4349#issuecomment-374970982
for more information.
- Fix bug with request-based one-sided MPI operations when using the
"rdma" component.
- Fix issue with large data structure in the TCP BTL causing problems
in some environments. Thanks to @lgarithm for reporting the issue.
- Minor Cygwin build fixes.
- Minor fixes for the openib BTL:
- Support for the QLogic RoCE HCA
- Support for the Boradcom Cumulus RoCE HCA
- Enable support for HDR link speeds
- Fix MPI_FINALIZED hang if invoked from an attribute destructor
during the MPI_COMM_SELF destruction in MPI_FINALIZE. Thanks to
@AndrewGaspar for reporting the issue.
- Java fixes:
- Modernize Java framework detection, especially on OS X/MacOS.
Thanks to Bryce Glover for reporting and submitting the fixes.
- Prefer "javac -h" to "javah" to support newer Java frameworks.
- Fortran fixes:
- Use conformant dummy parameter names for Fortran bindings. Thanks
to Themos Tsikas for reporting and submitting the fixes.
- Build the MPI_SIZEOF() interfaces in the "TKR"-style "mpi" module
whenever possible. Thanks to Themos Tsikas for reporting the
issue.
- Fix array of argv handling for the Fortran bindings of
MPI_COMM_SPAWN_MULTIPLE (and its associated man page).
- Make NAG Fortran compiler support more robust in configure.
- Disable the "pt2pt" one-sided MPI component when MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE
is used. This component is simply not safe in MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE
scenarios, and will not be fixed in the v2.1.x series.
- Make the "external" hwloc component fail gracefully if it is tries
to use an hwloc v2.x.y installation. hwloc v2.x.y will not be
supported in the Open MPI v2.1.x series.
- Fix "vader" shared memory support for messages larger than 2GB.
Thanks to Heiko Bauke for the bug report.
- Configure fixes for external PMI directory detection. Thanks to

Known issues (to be addressed in v2.1.2):
- See the list of fixes slated for v2.1.2 here:
https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/milestone/28
2.1.0 -- March, 2017
--------------------
Major new features:
- The main focus of the Open MPI v2.1.0 release was to update to PMIx
v1.2.1. When using PMIx (e.g., via mpirun-based launches, or via
direct launches with recent versions of popular resource managers),
launch time scalability is improved, and the run time memory
footprint is greatly decreased when launching large numbers of MPI /
OpenSHMEM processes.
- Update OpenSHMEM API conformance to v1.3.
- The usnic BTL now supports MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE.
- General/overall performance improvements to MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE.
- Add a summary message at the bottom of configure that tells you many
of the configuration options specified and/or discovered by Open
MPI.
Changes in behavior compared to prior versions:
- None.
Removed legacy support:
- The ptmalloc2 hooks have been removed from the Open MPI code base.
This is not really a user-noticable change; it is only mentioned
here because there was much rejoycing in the Open MPI developer
community.
Bug fixes/minor improvements:
- New MCA parameters:
- iof_base_redirect_app_stderr_to_stdout: as its name implies, it
combines MPI / OpenSHMEM applications' stderr into its stdout
stream.
- opal_event_include: allow the user to specify which FD selection
mechanism is used by the underlying event engine.
- opal_stacktrace_output: indicate where stacktraces should be sent
upon MPI / OpenSHMEM process crashes ("none", "stdout", "stderr",
"file:filename").
- orte_timeout_for_stack_trace: number of seconds to wait for stack
traces to be reported (or <=0 to wait forever).
- mtl_ofi_control_prog_type/mtl_ofi_data_prog_type: specify libfabric
progress model to be used for control and data.
- Fix MPI_WTICK regression where the time reported may be inaccurate
on systems with processor frequency scalaing enabled.
- Fix regression that lowered the memory maximum message bandwidth for
large messages on some BTL network transports, such as openib, sm,
and vader.
