 Software Dependencies
 ---------------------
 
 MVAPICH2 depends on the installation of the OFED Distribution stack with
 OpenSM running. The MPI module also requires an established network
-interface (either InfiniBand, IPoIB, or Ethernet). BLCR support is needed
-if built with fault tolerance support.

 New Features
 ------------
 
-MVAPICH2 (MPI-2 over InfiniBand) is an MPI-2 implementation based on
-MPICH2. MVAPICH2 0.9.8 is available as a single integrated package (with
-MPICH2 1.0.3). This version of MVAPICH2-0.9.8 for OFED has the following
-additional features:
-
-- RDMA CM-based connection management support for OFA Gen2 interface
-- Support for OFA iWARP: This is for the emerging 10GigE adapters
-  supporting OFA iWARP interface
-- Fault tolerance support
-    * Checkpoint-restart support for application transparent systems-level
-      fault tolerance. BLCR-based support using native OFA Gen2 interface
-    * Flexible interface to work with different files systems. Tested with
-      ext3 (local disk), NFS and PVFS2
-- Efficient Buffer Organization for Memory Scalability of Intra-node
-  Communication
-- Shared memory optimizations for collective communication operations

+MPICH2 1.0.5p4).  This version of MVAPICH2-1.0.2 for OFED has the following
+changes from MVAPICH2-1.0.1:
+
+- Explicitly name unions in struct ibv_wr_descriptor and reference the
+  members in the code properly.
+- Change "inline" functions to "static inline" properly.
+- Increase the maximum number of buffer allocations for communication
+  intensive applications.
+- Corrections for warnings from the Sun Studio 12 compiler.
+- If malloc hook initialization fails, then turn off registration
+  cache.
+- Add MV_R3_THESHOLD and MV_R3_NOCACHE_THRESHOLD which allows
+  R3 to be used for smaller messages instead of registering the
+  buffer and using a zero-copy protocol.
+- Fixed an error in message coalescing.
+- Setting application initiated checkpoint as default if CR is turned on.
