Release candidates for test

[Ralph Castain]

Hello folks

Per the ongoing conversation about future release strategies, I have prepared the closeout releases for the PMIx v5.0 and PRRTE v3.0 series and posted release candidates for both of them. As we discussed, these will NOT be released until I receive testing feedback from the community, and neither will be released until both pass that requirement.

So if either of these are of interest to you and/or your organization, I would appreciate it if you at least verified that they work for you.

PMIx v5.0.10rc1

https://github.com/openpmix/openpmix/releases/tag/v5.0.10rc1

Initial release candidate for the PMIx v5.0.10 release.

NOTE
The v5.0 release series will be going dormant after this release. All further bug fixes will require updating to a newer release series.

---

IMPORTANT
This release includes two critical changes:

• a fix for a bug that apparently went undetected for a long time. The bug prevented selection of the loopback interface on a node for use by the PMIx messaging system, even when no remote connections were allowed. This prevented PMIx from working in an environment where only loopback devices were available.
• re-enabling of the compression support. An undetected typo caused PMIx to disable compression even when the supporting libz (or libzng) libraries were present

It’s been pointed out that the tag for PMIx v5.0.10rc1 is incorrect - should be pointing at be33206bcc8e3134f8e6017eb555aaa3e7228d10. I’m not going to reissue that release candidate just to revise the tag - the tarballs are correct, and so is the head of the v5.0 branch of the repo. So please test accordingly. We’ll correct the tag when we do the final release.

Thanks

Ralph
