*Main changes from RC3:*
1.	Kernel code based on git (see BUILD_ID for version)
2.	SRP - with new features: FMR, tunable parameters, SRP daemon
(see details below)
3.	Open MPI - new package based on 1.1a3
4.	RDS - new version from main trunk
5.	Standard network configuration: Network configuration scripts
ifcfg-ib*, located under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts (.../network for
SuSE)
6.	/etc/modprobe.conf updated with:
    alias ib0 ib_ipoib   
    ...
    alias net-pf-26 ib_sdp
Note: this causes unloading the ipoib module to fail on SuSE (hotplug
issue)
7.	ipath driver available on RH EL4 (up2 and up3).
8.	uDAPL is available on RH EL4 (up2 and up3).
9.	Documentation updated (the installation guide is not complete).
10.	pdsh has been removed from the package.
11.	libibat has been removed.
12.	Bug Fixes

*Package limitations:*

1.	iSER is working on SuSE SLES 10 Beta8 only
2.	SDP has not been upgraded yet.
3.	MPI OSU and Open MPI compilation fails on PPC64
4.	ipath driver compilation fails on FedoraC4.

*SRP details:*
	SRP new features and changes:
*	FMR support was added.
*	Added an interface for removing a target in the initiator. 
*	Added an interface for querying the connected targets of an
initiator. 
*	The SRP tool ibsrpdm can execute as a daemon. The daemon adds
new targets that join the network and removes targets that leave the
network. 
*	ibsrpdm can use new SM feature: enhanced capability mask
matching (errata MGTWG8372)
 
	Limitation:
*	Attempting to add the same target twice fails - to be fixed in
RC5.
*	The implementation of the target list query must be modified.
The new implementation should create a directory in sysfs for each
target - to be fixed in RC5.


Please send us any issues you encounter and/or test results.

Thanks
