+
+       NEW SINCE OFED 1.3.1
+       
+        OFED 1.4 includes new versions compat-dapl-1.2.12-1, dapl-2.0.15-1
+
+       Summary of changes since OFED 1.3.1 release:
+
+       * New Features (scalability improvements - socket cm and UD support)
+
+       1. The new socket CM provider, introduced in 1.2.8 and 2.0.11 packages, 
+          assumes homogeneous cluster and will setup the QP's based on local 
+          HCA port attributes and exchanges QP information via socket's using 
+          the hostname of each node. IPoIB and rdma_cm are NOT required for 
+          this provider. QP attributes can be adjusted via the following 
+          environment parameters: 
+
+               DAPL_ACK_TIMER (default=16 5 bits, 4.096us*2^ack_timer. 16 =268ms) 
+               DAPL_ACK_RETRY (default=7 3 bits, 7 * 268ms = 1.8 seconds) 
+               DAPL_RNR_TIMER (default=12 5 bits, 12 = 64ms, 28 = 163ms, 31 = 491ms) 
+               DAPL_RNR_RETRY (default=7 3 bits, 7 = infinite) 
+               DAPL_IB_MTU (default=1024, limited to active MTU max) 
+
+        The new socket cm entries in /etc/dat.conf provide a link to the actual 
+         HCA device and port. Example v1 and v2 entries for a Mellanox connectx 
+         device, port 1: 
+        - OpenIB-mlx4_0-1 u1.2 nonthreadsafe default libdaplscm.so.1 dapl.1.2 "mlx4_0 1" "" 
+        - ofa-v2-mlx4_0-1 u2.0 nonthreadsafe default libdaploscm.so.2 dapl.2.0 "mlx4_0 1" "" 
+       
+       2. New v2 definitions for IB unreliable datagram extension 
+          (only supported in v2 scm provider, libdaploscm.so.2) 
+               - Extended EP dat_service_type, with DAT_IB_SERVICE_TYPE_UD 
+               - Add IB extension call dat_ib_post_send_ud(). 
+               - Add address handle definition for UD calls. 
+               - Add IB event definitions to provide remote AH via connect 
+                 and connect requests 
+               - See dtestx (-d) source for example usage model
+       
+       * Bug Fixes
+
+       v1,v2 - allow override of /etc/dat.conf via syscondir option 
+       v1,v2 - fix dapltest transaction test to avoid cleanup before rdma complete 
+       v1    - add ipath, ehca socket cm provider entries for v1.2, sync with v2.0 
+       v1,v2 - iWarp, 1 iov on rdma_reads, reduce iov's in dtest, add dat.conf entry 
+       v1,v2 - add $(DESTDIR) on install/uninstall hooks 
+       v2    - add new options to dtestx for UD testing 
+       v2    - IB UD fixes in common code/socket cm provider to allow multiple EP support 
+       v1,v2 - iWarp, 1 iov on rdma_reads, reduce iov's in dtest, add dat.conf entry 
+       v1,v2 - add $(DESTDIR) on install/uninstall hooks
+       v2    - add new options to dtestx for UD testing 
+       v2    - IB UD fixes in common code/socket cm provider to allow multiple EP support 
+       v2      - fix dtest and dtestx build warnings
+       v1,v2 - socket cm fixes, added DAPL_IB_MTU, 
+                 changed default QP timers, include NULL definition.
+       v1,v2 - Fix compiler warnings: dat, dapl, dtest, and dapltest
