 OFED-Specific Release Notes

+The version of Open MPI included in OFED 1.4 does not include iWARP

 Using the Pathscale compiler to build Open MPI on SLES10 may result in
 a non-functional Open MPI installation (every Open MPI command fails).

-** OFED 1.3.1 bug fixes:
-
-- Fix a bug in the inter-allgather for asymmetric inter-communicators. See 
-  ticket #1247.
-- Fix a bug in the openib BTL when setting the CQ depth. See ticket #1245.
-- On Mac OS X Leopard, the execinfo component will be used for
-  backtraces, making for a more durable solution.  See ticket #1246.
-- Added vendor IDs for some QLogic DDR openib HCAs. See ticket #1227.
-- Updated the URL to get the latest config.guess and config.sub files.
-  See ticket #1226.
-- Added shared contexts support to PSM MTL.  See ticket #1225.
-- Added pml_ob1_use_early_completion MCA parameter to allow users
-  to turn off the OB1 early completion semantic and avoid "stall"
-  problems seen on InfiniBand in some cases.  See ticket #1224.
-- Sanitized some #define macros used in mpi.h to avoid compiler warnings
-  caused by MPI programs built with different autoconf versions. See ticket 
-  #1220.
-- Some man page fixes from the Debian maintainers. See ticket #1219.
-- Made the openib BTL a bit more resilient in the face of driver errors. See 
-  ticket #1217.
-- Fixed F90 interface for MPI_CART_CREATE.  See ticket #1208.
-- Fixed some C++ compiler warnings. See ticket #1203.
-- Fixed formatting of the orterun man page.  See ticket #1202.
+** OFED 1.4 bug fixes (corresponding to Open MPI v1.2.7 and v1.2.8):
+
+v1.2.8
+- Tweaked one memory barrier in the openib component to be more
+  conservative.  May fix a problem observed on PPC machines.  See
+  ticket #1532.
+- Fix OpenFabrics IB partition support. See ticket #1557.
+- Restore v1.1 feature that sourced .profile on remote nodes if the
+  default shell will not do so (e.g. /bin/sh and /bin/ksh).  See
+  ticket #1560.
+- Fix segfault in MPI_Init_thread() if ompi_mpi_init() fails. See
+  ticket #1562.
+- Adjust SLURM support to first look for $SLURM_JOB_CPUS_PER_NODE
+  instead of the deprecated $SLURM_TASKS_PER_NODE environment
+  variable.  This change may be *required* when using SLURM v1.2 and
+  above.  See ticket #1536.
+- Fix the MPIR_Proctable to be in process rank order. See ticket
+  #1529.
+- Fix a regression introduced in 1.2.6 for the IBM eHCA. See ticket
+  #1526.
+
+v1.2.7
+- Add some Sun HCA vendor IDs.  See ticket #1461.
+- Fixed a memory leak in MPI_Alltoallw when called from Fortran.
+  Thanks to Dave Grote for the bugreport.  See ticket #1457.
+- Only link in libutil when it is needed/desired.  Thanks to
+  Brian Barret for diagnosing and fixing the problem.  See ticket #1455.
+- Update some QLogic HCA vendor IDs.  See ticket #1453.
+- Fix F90 binding for MPI_CART_GET.  Thanks to Scott Beardsley for
+  bringing it to our attention. See ticket #1429.
+- Remove a spurious warning message generated in/by ROMIO. See ticket #1421.
+- Fix a bug where command-line MCA parameters were not overriding
+  MCA parameters set from environment variables.  See ticket #1380.
+- Fix a bug in the AMD64 atomics assembly.  Thanks to Gabriele Fatigati
+  for the bug report and bugfix.  See ticket #1351.
+- Fix a gather and scatter bug on intercommunicators when the datatype
+  being moved is 0 bytes. See ticket #1331.
+- Some more man page fixes from the Debian maintainers.
+  See tickets #1324 and #1329.
+- Have openib BTL (OpenFabrics support) check for the presence of
+  /sys/class/infiniband before allowing itself to be used.  This check
+  prevents spurious "OMPI did not find RDMA hardware!" notices on
+  systems that have the software drivers installed, but no
+  corresponding hardware.  See tickets #1321 and #1305.
+- Added vendor IDs for some ConnectX openib HCAs. See ticket #1311.
+- Fix some RPM specfile inconsistencies.  See ticket #1308.
+  Thanks to Jim Kusznir for noticing the problem.
+- Removed an unused function prototype that caused warnings on
+  some systems (e.g., OS X).  See ticket #1274.
+- Fix a deadlock in inter-communicator scatter/gather operations.
+  Thanks to Martin Audet for the bug report.  See ticket #1268.
