   The OpenFabrics Alliance Announces the Release of libfabric v2.0.0

   The OpenFabrics Alliance, the OpenFabrics Interfaces Working Group, and
   the libfabric community are pleased to announce the release of version
   v2.0.0 of libfabric and fabtests.

   Libfabric, also known as Open Fabrics Interfaces (OFI), is a framework
   focused on exporting high-performance networking services to
   applications. It specifically targets parallel and distributed
   applications and middleware. Libfabric is designed to minimize the
   impedance mismatch between applications, middleware and fabric
   communication hardware. Its interfaces target high- bandwidth,
   low-latency NICs, with a goal to scale to tens of thousands of nodes.
   Libfabric is supported by a variety of open source HPC middleware
   applications, including MPICH, Open MPI, Sandia SHMEM, Open SHMEM,
   Charm++, GasNET, Clang, UPC, DAOS, and others.

   The release of libfabric 2.0 is an important milestone for libfabric as
   it simplifies and tunes the API in preparation for Ultra Ethernet
   Consortium (UEC). Unsupported features have been deprecated, and some
   features have been replaced with more optimal ones to encourage
   adoption of the new standard. New features, such as standardized tag
   formats, new atomic types target for AI, and stabilization of
   inter-provider usage have been added, allowing for more fine-tuned
   focus on AI and offloaded accelerations.

   The software for the Ultra Ethernet Transport is based on libfabric
   v2.0 APIs, targeting both HPC and AI fabrics (See
   [1]https://ultraethernet.org/ultra-ethernet-specification-update/).

   Libfabric source packages are available at:
