===========================================================================
This file contains the main features as well as overviews of specific
bug fixes (and other actions) for each version of PMIx since
version 1.0.
As more fully described in the "Software Version Number" section in
the README file, PMIx typically maintains two separate version
series simultaneously - the current release and one that is locked
to only bug fixes. Since these series are semi-independent of each
other, a single NEWS-worthy item might apply to different series. For
example, a bug might be fixed in the master, and then moved to the
current release as well as the "stable" bug fix release branch.
Master (not on release branches yet)
------------------------------------
2.1.0 -- 1 Feb 2018
----------------------
**** NOTE: This release contains the first implementation of cross-version
**** support. Servers using v2.1.0 are capable of supporting clients using
**** PMIx versions v1.2 and above. Clients using v2.1.0 are able to interact
**** with servers based on v1.2 and above.
- Added cross-version communication support
- Enable reporting of contact URI to stdout, stderr, or file (PR #538)
- Enable support for remote tool connections (PR #540, #542)
- Cleanup libevent configure logi to support default install paths (PR #541)
- Debounce "unreachable" notifications for tools when they disconnect (PR #544)
- Enable the regex generator to support node names that include multiple
sets of numbers
2.0.3 -- TBD
----------------------
- Fix event notification so all sides of multi-library get notified
of other library's existence
- Update syslog protection to support Mac High Sierra OS
- Remove usock component - unable to support v1.x clients due
to datatype differences
- Cleanup security handshake
- Cleanup separation of PMI-1/2 libraries and PMIx symbols
- Protect against overly-large messages
- Update data buffer APIs to support cross-version operations
- Protect receive callbacks from NULL and/or empty buffers as this
can occur when the peer on a connection disappears.
- Fix tool connection search so it properly descends into the directory
tree while searching for the server's contact file.
- Fix store_local so it doesn't reject a new nspace as that can happen
when working with tools
- Ensure we always complete PMIx_Finalize - don't return if something
goes wrong in the middle of the procedure
- Fix several tool connection issues
2.0.2 -- 19 Oct 2017
----------------------
- Update RPM spec file (rpmbuild -ta, and --rebuild fixes) (PR #523)
- Support singletons in PMI-1/PMI-2 (PR #537)
- Provide missing implementation support for arrays of pmix_value_t's (PR #531)
- Remove unsupported assembly code for MIPS and ARM processors
prior to v6 (PR #547)
- Fix path separator for PMIx configuration files (PR #547)
- Add configure option to enable/disable the default value for the
show-load-errors MCA param (PR #547)
2.0.1 -- 24 Aug. 2017
----------------------
- Protect PMIX_INFO_FREE macro from NULL data arrays
- Added attributes to support HWLOC shared memory regions
- Fixed several syntax errors in configure code
- Fixed several visibility errors
- Correctly return status from PMIx_Fence operation
- Restore tool connection support and implement search
operations to discover rendezvous files
2.0.0 -- 22 Jun 2017
----------------------
**** NOTE: This release implements the complete PMIX v2.0 Standard
**** and therefore includes a number of new APIs and features. These
**** can be tracked by their RFC's in the RFC repository at:
**** https://github.com/pmix/RFCs. A formal standards document will
**** be included in a later v2.x release. Some of the changes are
**** identified below.
- Added the Modular Component Architecture (MCA) plugin manager and
converted a number of operations to plugins, thereby allowing easy
customization and extension (including proprietary offerings)
- Added support for TCP sockets instead of Unix domain sockets for
client-server communications
- Added support for on-the-fly Allocation requests, including requests
for additional resources, extension of time for currently allocated
resources, and return of identified allocated resources to the scheduler
(RFC 0005 - https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0005.md)
- Tightened rules on the processing of PMIx_Get requests, including
reservation of the "pmix" prefix for attribute keys and specifying
behaviors associated with the PMIX_RANK_WILDCARD value
(RFC 0009 - https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0009.md)
- Extended support for tool interactions with a PMIx server aimed at
meeting the needs of debuggers and other tools. Includes support
for rendezvousing with a system-level PMIx server for interacting
with the system management stack (SMS) outside of an allocated
session, and adds two new APIs:
- PMIx_Query: request general information such as the process
table for a specified job, and available SMS capabilities
- PMIx_Log: log messages (e.g., application progress) to a
system-hosted persistent store
(RFC 0010 - https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0010.md)
- Added support for fabric/network interactions associated with
"instant on" application startup
(RFC 0012 - https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0012.md)
- Added an attribute to support getting the time remaining in an
allocation via the PMIx_Query interface
(RFC 0013 - https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0013.md)
- Added interfaces to support job control and monitoring requests,
including heartbeat and file monitors to detect stalled applications.
Job control interface supports standard signal-related operations
(pause, kill, resume, etc.) as well as checkpoint/restart requests.
The interface can also be used by an application to indicate it is
willing to be pre-empted, with the host RM providing an event
notification when the preemption is desired.
(RFC 0015 - https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0015.md)
- Extended the event notification system to support notifications
across threads in the same process, and the ability to direct
ordering of notifications when registering event handlers.
(RFC 0018 - https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0018.md)
- Expose the buffer manipulation functions via a new set of APIs
to support heterogeneous data transfers within the host RM
environment
(RFC 0020 - https://github.com/pmix/RFCs/blob/master/RFC0020.md)
- Fix a number of race condition issues that arose at scale
- Enable PMIx servers to generate notifications to the host RM
and to themselves
1.2.5 -- TBD
