> The Open MPI Team, representing a consortium of research, academic,

> version 1.2.8. This release is mainly a bug fix release over the

> release, but there are few new features.  We strongly recommend
> that all users upgrade to version 1.2.8 if possible.
>
> Version 1.2.8 can be downloaded from the main Open MPI web site or
> any of its mirrors (mirrors will be updating shortly).
>
> Here is a list of changes in v1.2.8 as compared to v1.2.7:
>
> - Tweaked one memory barrier in the openib component to be more  
> conservative.
>  May fix a problem observed on PPC machines.  See ticket #1532.
> - Fix OpenFabrics IB partition support. See ticket #1557.
> - Restore v1.1 feature that sourced .profile on remote nodes if the  
> default
>  shell will not do so (e.g. /bin/sh and /bin/ksh).  See ticket #1560.
> - Fix segfault in MPI_Init_thread() if ompi_mpi_init() fails. See  
> ticket #1562.
> - Adjust SLURM support to first look for $SLURM_JOB_CPUS_PER_NODE  
> instead of
>  the deprecated $SLURM_TASKS_PER_NODE environment variable.  This  
> change
>  may be *required* when using SLURM v1.2 and above.  See ticket #1536.
> - Fix the MPIR_Proctable to be in process rank order. See ticket  
> #1529.
> - Fix a regression introduced in 1.2.6 for the IBM eHCA. See ticket
