[openib-general] [ANNOUNCE] libibverbs 1.0-rc7 released

[Roland Dreier]

I just tagged a 1.0-rc7 release of libibverbs and pushed it out to the
relevant channels, which means that it should appear on
http://openib.org/downloads/ shortly.  Binary packages will be in
Fedora Extras when the builds complete.

Please download and test this release, so that the final 1.0 release
can be a good one.

The API and ABI are now frozen for the 1.0 release, which is currently
planned for roughly three weeks from now.  Any incompatible changes
will have to wait for the 1.1 release.  Bug fixes and other changes
that don't affect the library interface are of course welcome any time.

Changes since 1.0-rc5 include:

 - Handle new kernel ABI (version 5) required for proper alignment of
   the create QP response structure.
 - Update low-level driver library interface so that kernel drivers
   can return device-specific information to the create QP operation.
 - Add query QP and query SRQ support (contributed by Mellanox).
 - Add resize CQ support.
 - Bug fixes and cleanups as usual.

See the ChangeLog in the package for full details.

Thanks,
  Roland
