16.2.6. 4.2.0 – 20 Aug 2022
Important
This release includes a number of new features that may be of use to library and application developers. These include:
support for qualified values - i.e., the ability to reuse an attribute, assigning it different values with each value contingent upon one or more qualifiers. Thus, requests to return the value can specify the corresponding qualifiers to identify the specific version of the value being requested.
provide additional information to be included in group construct operations. The result of the operation shall include exchange of such information with all participants, with the information “qualified” by the assigned group context ID.
new output formats that allow prepending output streams with the hostname and pid of the source process
improved support for tools that allow connection to multiple simultaneous servers and better handshakes for establishing connections
fixes for access to session/node/app-realm information
broader support for pretty-print of PMIx structures such as pmix_info_t and pmix_value_t
compliance with the new PMIx ABI definitions. This includes converting some macros to functions, with macros retained for backward compatibility
capture and forwarding of default MCA parameter file values, both from the system and user level

16.2.7. 4.1.2 – 11 Feb 2022
Important
This release contains a workaround that resolves the prior conflict with HWLOC versions 2.5.0 through 2.7.0 (inclusive). Those versions of HWLOC are now supported.

16.2.8. 4.1.1 – 1 Feb 2022
Important
As of v4.1.1, PMIx includes an EXCEPTIONS file that lists all deviations from the PMIx Standard. This primarily includes extensions that have not yet been adopted by the Standard.
Important
As of v4.1.1, PMIx no longer has a dependency on “pandoc” for building and installing man pages.
Warning
PMIx has identified a bug in HWLOC versions 2.5.0 thru 2.7.0 (inclusive) that causes PMIx to segfault during certain operations. We have worked with the HWLOC developers to fix that problem, and the fix will be included beginning in HWLOC version 2.7.1. Accordingly, PMIx now checks for the problem HWLOC versions and will error out of configure if they are encountered.

Allow retrieval of the caller’s own rank and process ID via PMIx_Get
Provide full delineation of client, server, and tool attribute support
