[Dhabaleswar Panda]

The MVAPICH team is pleased to announce the availability of MVAPICH2
1.2RC2. The following bugs are fixed in this release.

- Properly handle the scenario in shared memory broadcast code when the
  datatypes of different processes taking part in broadcast are
  different.

- Fix a bug in Checkpoint-Restart code to determine whether a
  connection is a shared memory connection or a network connection.

- Support non-standard path for BLCR header files.

- Increase the maximum heap size to avoid race condition in realloc().

- Use int32_t for rank for larger jobs with 32k processes or more.

- Improve mvapich2-1.2 bandwidth to the same level of mvapich2-1.0.3.

- An error handling patch for uDAPL interface. Thanks for Nilesh Awate
  for the patch.

- Explicitly set some of the EP attributes when on demand connection
  is used in uDAPL interface.

MVAPICH2 users are requested to update their installations with this
latest release.

Thanks,

The MVAPICH Team
