 New Features
 ------------

-  * Shared receive QPs
-  * Low latency QPs
-  * 4k MTU
+- Flush error completion support

+Fixed Bugs ofed-1.4
+---------------------
+- Reject send work requests only for RESET, INIT and RTR state
+- Reject receive work requests if QP is in RESET state
+- In case of lost interrupts, trigger EOI to reenable interrupts
+- Filter PATH_MIG events if QP was never armed
+- Release mutex in error path of alloc_small_queue_page()
+- Check idr_find() return value
+- Discard double CQE for one WR
+- Generate flush status CQ entries
+- Don't allow creating UC QP with SRQ
+- Fix reported max number of QPs and CQs in systems with >1 adapter
+- Reject dynamic memory add/remove when ehca adapter is present
+- Remove reference to special QP in case of port activation failure
+- Fix locking for shca_list_lock
