v5.0.0rc2 -- October, 2021
v5.0.0rc3 -- March, 2021
--------------------

- ORTE, the underlying OMPI launcher has been removed, and replaced
with PRTE.
- New MPI-4.0 features:
- Added ERRORS_ABORT infrastructure.
- Added support for 'initial error handler'.
- Added error handling for 'unbound' errors to MPI_COMM_SELF.
- Persistent collectives have been moved to the MPI
namespace from MPIX.
- Make MPI_Comm_get_info, MPI_File_get_info, and
MPI_Win_get_info compliant to the standard.
- Initial partitioned communication using persistent sends and
persistent receives added.
- Added support for MPI_Info_get_string.
- Droped unknown/ignored info keys on communicators, files,
and windows.
- Implemented MPI_Isendrecv() and its variants.
- Added Support for MPI_Comm_idup_with_info().
- Reworked how Open MPI integrates with 3rd party packages.
The decision was made to stop building 3rd-party packages
such as Libevent, HWLOC, PMIx, and PRRTE as MCA components
and instead 1) start relying on external libraries whenever
possible and 2) Open MPI builds the 3rd party libraries (if needed)
as independent libraries, rather than linked into libopen-pal.
- Update to use PMIx v4.1.1rc2
- Update to use PRRTE v2.0.1rc2
- Updated to use PMIx v4.2 branch - current hash: b59e49f
- Updated to use PRRTE v2.1 branch - current hash: 8c09625
- osc/rdma and various btls: Many fixes to better support btl/tcp.
- This patch series fixs many issues when running with
"--mca osc rdma --mca btl tcp", IE - TCP support for one sided MPI calls.
- Change the default component build behavior to prefer building
components as part of libmpi.so instead of individual DSOs.
- Remove pml/yalla, mxm, mtl/psm, and ikrit components.

- 32 bit atomics are now only supported via C11 compliant compilers.
- Explicitly disable support for GNU gcc < v4.8.1 (note: the default
gcc compiler that is included in RHEL 7 is v4.8.5).
- HWLOC: Require v1.11.0 or later.
- HWLOC: Updated internal hwloc to v2.7.0.
- HWLOC: enable --enable-plugins when appropriate
When running configure on the internal hwloc, enable plugins via
the --enable-plugins option when 1) --disable-dlopen was not
specified and 2) the user didn't add some variant of
--enable-plugins on the configure line already. The motivation
for this change is to not pull in hwloc dependencies like libcuda
in the general case.
- Do not build Open SHMEM layer when there are no SPMLs available.
Currently, this means the Open SHMEM layer will only build if
the UCX library is found.
