+      OFED 1.4 RELEASE NOTES

-        is timed to coincide with OFED release 1.3.1 of the 
-        Open Fabrics (www.openfabrics.org) software stack.
+	is timed to coincide with OFED release 1.3.1 of the 
+	Open Fabrics (www.openfabrics.org) software stack.
+
+	NEW SINCE OFED 1.3.1
+	
+        OFED 1.4 includes new versions compat-dapl-1.2.12-1, dapl-2.0.15-1
+
+	Summary of changes since OFED 1.3.1 release:
+
+	* New Features (scalability improvements - socket cm and UD support)
+
+	1. The new socket CM provider, introduced in 1.2.8 and 2.0.11 packages, 
+	   assumes homogeneous cluster and will setup the QP's based on local 
+	   HCA port attributes and exchanges QP information via socket's using 
+	   the hostname of each node. IPoIB and rdma_cm are NOT required for 
+	   this provider. QP attributes can be adjusted via the following 
+	   environment parameters: 
+
+		DAPL_ACK_TIMER (default=16 5 bits, 4.096us*2^ack_timer. 16 =268ms) 
+		DAPL_ACK_RETRY (default=7 3 bits, 7 * 268ms = 1.8 seconds) 
+		DAPL_RNR_TIMER (default=12 5 bits, 12 = 64ms, 28 = 163ms, 31 = 491ms) 
+		DAPL_RNR_RETRY (default=7 3 bits, 7 = infinite) 
+		DAPL_IB_MTU (default=1024, limited to active MTU max) 
+
+	 The new socket cm entries in /etc/dat.conf provide a link to the actual 
+         HCA device and port. Example v1 and v2 entries for a Mellanox connectx 
+         device, port 1: 
+	 - OpenIB-mlx4_0-1 u1.2 nonthreadsafe default libdaplscm.so.1 dapl.1.2 "mlx4_0 1" "" 
+	 - ofa-v2-mlx4_0-1 u2.0 nonthreadsafe default libdaploscm.so.2 dapl.2.0 "mlx4_0 1" "" 
+	
+	2. New v2 definitions for IB unreliable datagram extension 
+	   (only supported in v2 scm provider, libdaploscm.so.2) 
+		- Extended EP dat_service_type, with DAT_IB_SERVICE_TYPE_UD 
+		- Add IB extension call dat_ib_post_send_ud(). 
+		- Add address handle definition for UD calls. 
+		- Add IB event definitions to provide remote AH via connect 
+		  and connect requests 
+		- See dtestx (-d) source for example usage model
+	
+	* Bug Fixes
+
+	v1,v2 - allow override of /etc/dat.conf via syscondir option 
+	v1,v2 - fix dapltest transaction test to avoid cleanup before rdma complete 
+	v1    - add ipath, ehca socket cm provider entries for v1.2, sync with v2.0 
+	v1,v2 - iWarp, 1 iov on rdma_reads, reduce iov's in dtest, add dat.conf entry 
+	v1,v2 - add $(DESTDIR) on install/uninstall hooks 
+	v2    - add new options to dtestx for UD testing 
+	v2    - IB UD fixes in common code/socket cm provider to allow multiple EP support 
+	v1,v2 - iWarp, 1 iov on rdma_reads, reduce iov's in dtest, add dat.conf entry 
+	v1,v2 - add $(DESTDIR) on install/uninstall hooks
+	v2    - add new options to dtestx for UD testing 
+ 	v2    - IB UD fixes in common code/socket cm provider to allow multiple	EP support 
+	v2	- fix dtest and dtestx build warnings
+	v1,v2 - socket cm fixes, added DAPL_IB_MTU, 
+		  changed default QP timers, include NULL definition.
+	v1,v2 - Fix compiler warnings: dat, dapl, dtest, and dapltest
