===========================================================================

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
multiple release branches.

4.2.0 -- 20 Aug 2022
----------------------
**** NOTE: This release includes a number of new features that
may be of use to library and application developers. These include:
  * support for qualified values - i.e., the ability to reuse an
    attribute, assigning it different values with each value
    contingent upon one or more qualifiers. Thus, requests to
    return the value can specify the corresponding qualifiers
    to identify the specific version of the value being requested.
  * provide additional information to be included in group construct
    operations. The result of the operation shall include exchange
    of such information with all participants, with the information
    "qualified" by the assigned group context ID.
  * new output formats that allow prepending output streams with
    the hostname and pid of the source process
  * improved support for tools that allow connection to multiple
    simultaneous servers and better handshakes for establishing
    connections
  * fixes for access to session/node/app-realm information
  * broader support for pretty-print of PMIx structures such
    as pmix_info_t and pmix_value_t
  * compliance with the new PMIx ABI definitions. This includes
    converting some macros to functions, with macros retained
    for backward compatibility
  * capture and forwarding of default MCA parameter file values,
    both from the system and user level

4.1.2 -- 11 Feb 2022
----------------------
**** NOTE: This release contains a workaround that resolves the prior
**** conflict with HWLOC versions 2.5.0 through 2.7.0 (inclusive).
**** Those versions of HWLOC are now supported.

 - PR #2453: Avoid string literals in environ
    - Be defensive against string literals in env
    - Remove block of hwloc 2.5 - 2.7

4.1.1 -- 1 Feb 2022
----------------------
**** NOTE: As of v4.1.1, PMIx includes an EXCEPTIONS file that lists
**** all deviations from the PMIx Standard. This primarily includes
**** extensions that have not yet been adopted by the Standard.

**** NOTE: As of v4.1.1, PMIx no longer has a dependency on "pandoc"
**** for building and installing man pages.

**** NOTE: PMIx has identified a bug in HWLOC versions 2.5.0 thru
**** 2.7.0 (inclusive) that causes PMIx to segfault during certain
**** operations. We have worked with the HWLOC developers to fix
**** that problem, and the fix will be included beginning in HWLOC
**** version 2.7.1. Accordingly, PMIx now checks for the problem
**** HWLOC versions and will error out of configure if they are
**** encountered.

 - Removal of the usock messaging component - only TCP is now supported
 - Removal of the PMI-1 and PMI-2 backward compatibility libraries into
   a new separate repository
 - Packaging changes to push the headers into *-devel packages
 - libtool patch for Mac BigSur OS
 - Fixed dependency issue with HWLOC to protect against stone-age versions
 - Changed man page format to Markdown, requires pandoc to generate from
   Git repository (but not from tarball)
 - Enable local fork/exec by tools when not connected to a server - this
   is done transparently
 - Support reproducible builds
 - Multiple bug fixes and memory leak repairs
 - Add support for network interface and GPU device distances
 - Allow retrieval of the caller's own rank and process ID via PMIx_Get
 - Provide full delineation of client, server, and tool attribute support
 - Add support for libev in lieu of libevent
 - Detect/avoid conflict with LSF version of "libevent"
 - Auto-detect and forward envars from various identified programming models
   (e.g., OpenMPI, OpenSHMEM) and fabrics
 - Change the default component build behavior to prefer building components
   as part of libpmix.so instead of individual DSOs.

    - Added IO forwarding support allowing tools to request
      forwarding of output from specific application procs,
      and to forward their input to specified target procs
    - Extended tool attributes to support synchronization
      during startup of applications. This includes the
      ability to modify an application's environment
      (including support for LD_PRELOAD) and define an
      alternate fork/exec agent
    - Added ability for a tool to switch server connections
      so it can first connect to a system-level server to
      launch a starter program, and then reconnect to that
      starter for debugging purposes
- Extended network support to collect network inventory by
     either rolling it up from individual nodes or by direct
     query of fabric managers. Added an API by which the
     host can inject any rolled up inventory into the local

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
