    level between L2 and L3 on others (e.g. ARM Kungpeng 920).
    Thanks to Jonathan Cameron for the help.
    - HWLOC_DONT_MERGE_CLUSTER_GROUPS=1 may be set in the environment
      to prevent these groups from being merged with identical caches, etc.

  + Use the native dlopen instead of libltdl,
    unless --disable-plugin-dlopen is passed at configure time.


Version 2.1.0
-------------
* API
  + Add a new "Die" object (HWLOC_OBJ_DIE) for upcoming x86 processors
    with multiple dies per package, in the x86 and Linux backends.
  + Add the new HWLOC_OBJ_MEMCACHE object type for memory-side caches.
    - They are filtered-out by default, except in command-line tools.
    - They are only available on very recent platforms running Linux 5.2+
      and uptodate ACPI tables.
    - The KNL MCDRAM in cache mode is still exposed as a L3 unless
      HWLOC_KNL_MSCACHE_L3=0 in the environment.
  + Add HWLOC_RESTRICT_FLAG_BYNODESET and _REMOVE_MEMLESS for restricting
    topologies based on some memory nodes.
  + Add hwloc_topology_set_components() for blacklisting some components
    from being enabled in a topology.
  + Add hwloc_bitmap_nr_ulongs() and hwloc_bitmap_from/to_ulongs(),
    thanks to Junchao Zhang for the suggestion.
  + Improve the API for dealing with disallowed resources
    - HWLOC_TOPOLOGY_FLAG_WHOLE_SYSTEM is replaced with FLAG_INCLUDE_DISALLOWED
      and --whole-system command-line options with --disallowed.
      . Former names are still accepted for backward compatibility.
    - Add hwloc_topology_allow() for changing allowed sets after load().
    - Add the HWLOC_ALLOW=all environment variable to totally ignore
      administrative restrictions such as Linux Cgroups.
    - Add disallowed_pu and disallowed_numa bits to the discovery support
      structure.
  + Group objects have a new "dont_merge" attribute to prevent them from
    being automatically merged with identical parent or children.
  + Add more distances-related features:
    - Add hwloc_distances_get_name() to retrieve a string describing
      what a distances structure contain.
    - Add hwloc_distances_get_by_name() to retrieve distances structures
      based on their name.
    - Add hwloc_distances_release_remove()
    - Distances may now cover objects of different types with new kind
      HWLOC_DISTANCES_KIND_HETEROGENEOUS_TYPES.
* Backends
  + Add support for Linux 5.3 new sysfs cpu topology files with Die information.
  + Add support for Intel v2 Extended Topology Enumeration in the x86 backend.
  + Improve memory locality on Linux by using HMAT initiators (exposed
    since Linux 5.2+), and NUMA distances for CPU-less NUMA nodes.
  + The x86 backend now properly handles offline CPUs.
  + Detect the locality of NVIDIA GPU OpenCL devices.
  + Ignore NUMA nodes that correspond to NVIDIA GPU by default.
    - They may be unignored if HWLOC_KEEP_NVIDIA_GPU_NUMA_NODES=1 in the environment.
    - Fix their CPU locality and add info attributes to identify them.
    Thanks to Max Katz and Edgar Leon for the help.
  + Add support for IBM S/390 drawers.
  + Rework the heuristics for discovering KNL Cluster and Memory modes
    to stop assuming all CPUs are online (required for mOS support).
    Thanks to Sharath K Bhat for testing patches.
  + Ignore NUMA node information from AMD topoext in the x86 backend,
    unless HWLOC_X86_TOPOEXT_NUMANODES=1 is set in the environment.
  + Expose Linux DAX devices as hwloc Block OS devices.
  + Remove support for /proc/cpuinfo-only topology discovery in Linux
    kernel prior to 2.6.16.
  + Disable POWER device-tree-based topology on Linux by default.
    - It may be reenabled by setting HWLOC_USE_DT=1 in the environment.
  + Discovery components are now divided in phases that may be individually
    blacklisted.
    - The linuxio component has been merged back into the linux component.
* Tools
  + lstopo
    - lstopo factorizes objects by default in the graphical output when
      there are more than 4 identical children.
      . New options --no-factorize and --factorize may be used to configure this.
      . Hit the 'f' key to disable factorizing in interactive outputs.
    - Both logical and OS/physical indexes are now displayed by default
      for PU and NUMA nodes.
    - The X11 and Windows interactive outputs support many keyboard
      shortcuts to dynamically customize the attributes, legend, etc.
    - Add --linespacing and change default margins and linespacing.
    - Add --allow for changing allowed sets.
    - Add a native SVG backend. Its graphical output may be slightly less
      pretty than Cairo (still used by default if available) but the SVG
      code provides attributes to manipulate objects from HTML/JS.
      See dynamic_SVG_example.html for an example.
  + Add --nodeset options to hwloc-calc for converting between cpusets and
    nodesets.
  + Add --no-smt to lstopo, hwloc-bind and hwloc-calc to ignore multiple
    PU in SMT cores.
  + hwloc-annotate may annotate multiple locations at once.
  + Add a HTML/JS version of hwloc-ps. See contrib/hwloc-ps.www/README.
  + Add bash completions.
* Misc
  + Add several FAQ entries in "Compatibility between hwloc versions"
    about API version, ABI, XML, Synthetic strings, and shmem topologies.


Version 2.0.4 (also included in 1.11.13 when appropriate)
-------------
* Add support for Linux 5.3 new sysfs cpu topology files with Die information.
* Add support for Intel v2 Extended Topology Enumeration in the x86 backend.
* Tiles, Modules and Dies are exposed as Groups for now.
  + HWLOC_DONT_MERGE_DIE_GROUPS=1 may be set in the environment to prevent
    Die groups from being automatically merged with identical parent or children.
* Ignore NUMA node information from AMD topoext in the x86 backend,
  unless HWLOC_X86_TOPOEXT_NUMANODES=1 is set in the environment.
* Group objects have a new "dont_merge" attribute to prevent them from
  being automatically merged with identical parent or children.


Version 2.0.3 (also included in 1.11.12 when appropriate)
-------------
* Fix build on Cygwin, thanks to Marco Atzeri for the patches.
* Fix a corner case of hwloc_topology_restrict() where children would
  become out-of-order.
* Fix the return length of export_xmlbuffer() functions to always
  include the ending \0.
* Fix lstopo --children-order argument parsing.


Version 2.0.2 (also included in 1.11.11 when appropriate)
-------------
* Add support for Hygon Dhyana processors in the x86 backend,
  thanks to Pu Wen for the patch.
* Fix symbol renaming to also rename internal components,
  thanks to Evan Ramos for the patch.
* Fix build on HP-UX, thanks to Richard Lloyd for reporting the issues.
* Detect PCI link speed without being root on Linux >= 4.13.

  thanks to Gilles Gouaillardet for the suggestion.


Version 2.0.1 (also included in 1.11.10 when relevant)
-------------
* Bump the library soname to 15:0:0 to avoid conflicts with hwloc 1.11.x
  releases. The hwloc 2.0.0 soname was buggy (12:0:0), applications will
  have to be recompiled.
* Serialize pciaccess discovery to fix concurrent topology loads in
  multiple threads.
* Fix hwloc-dump-hwdata to only process SMBIOS information that correspond
  to the KNL and KNM configuration.
* Add a heuristic for guessing KNL/KNM memory and cluster modes when
  hwloc-dump-hwdata could not run as root earlier.
* Add --no-text lstopo option to remove text from some boxes in the
  graphical output. Mostly useful for removing Group labels.
* Some minor fixes to memory binding.


Version 2.0.0
-------------
*** The ABI of the library has changed. ***
  For instance some hwloc_obj fields were reordered, added or removed, see below.
  + HWLOC_API_VERSION and hwloc_get_api_version() now give 0x00020000.
  + See "How do I handle ABI breaks and API upgrades ?" in the FAQ
    and "Upgrading to hwloc 2.0 API" in the documentation.
* Major API changes
  + Memory, I/O and Misc objects are now stored in dedicated children lists,
    not in the usual children list that is now only used for CPU-side objects.
    - hwloc_get_next_child() may still be used to iterate over these 4 lists
      of children at once.
    - hwloc_obj_type_is_normal(), _memory() and _io() may be used to check
      the kind of a given object type.
  + Topologies always have at least one NUMA object. On non-NUMA machines,
    a single NUMA object is added to describe the entire machine memory.
    The NUMA level cannot be ignored anymore.
  + The NUMA level is special since NUMA nodes are not in the main hierarchy
    of objects anymore. Its depth is a fake negative depth that should not be
    compared with normal levels.
    - If all memory objects are attached to parents at the same depth,
      it may be retrieved with hwloc_get_memory_parents_depth().
  + The HWLOC_OBJ_CACHE type is replaced with 8 types HWLOC_OBJ_L[1-5]CACHE
    and HWLOC_OBJ_L[1-3]ICACHE that remove the need to disambiguate levels
    when looking for caches with _by_type() functions.
    - New hwloc_obj_type_is_{,d,i}cache() functions may be used to check whether
      a given type is a cache.
  + Reworked ignoring/filtering API
    - Replace hwloc_topology_ignore*() functions with hwloc_topology_set_type_filter()
      and hwloc_topology_set_all_types_filter().
      . Contrary to hwloc_topology_ignore_{type,all}_keep_structure() which
        removed individual objects, HWLOC_TYPE_FILTER_KEEP_STRUCTURE only removes
        entire levels (so that topology do not become too asymmetric).
    - Remove HWLOC_TOPOLOGY_FLAG_ICACHES in favor of hwloc_topology_set_icache_types_filter()
      with HWLOC_TYPE_FILTER_KEEP_ALL.
    - Remove HWLOC_TOPOLOGY_FLAG_IO_DEVICES, _IO_BRIDGES and _WHOLE_IO in favor of
      hwloc_topology_set_io_types_filter() with HWLOC_TYPE_FILTER_KEEP_ALL or
      HWLOC_TYPE_FILTER_KEEP_IMPORTANT.
  + The distance API has been completely reworked. It is now described
    in hwloc/distances.h.
  + Return values
    - Most functions in hwloc/bitmap.h now return an int that may be negative
      in case of failure to realloc/extend the internal storage of a bitmap.
    - hwloc_obj_add_info() also returns an int in case allocations fail.
* Minor API changes
  + Object attributes
    - obj->memory is removed.
      . local_memory and page_types attributes are now in obj->attr->numanode
      . total_memory moves obj->total_memory.
    - Objects do not have allowed_cpuset and allowed_nodeset anymore.
      They are only available for the entire topology using
      hwloc_topology_get_allowed_cpuset() and hwloc_topology_get_allowed_nodeset().
    - Objects now have a "subtype" field that supersedes former "Type" and
      "CoProcType" info attributes.
  + Object and level depths are now signed ints.
  + Object string printing and parsing
    - hwloc_type_sscanf() deprecates the old hwloc_obj_type_sscanf().
    - hwloc_type_sscanf_as_depth() is added to convert a type name into
      a level depth.
    - hwloc_obj_cpuset_snprintf() is deprecated in favor of hwloc_bitmap_snprintf().
  + Misc objects
    - Replace hwloc_topology_insert_misc_object_by_cpuset() with
      hwloc_topology_insert_group_object() to precisely specify the location
      of an additional hierarchy level in the topology.
    - Misc objects have their own level and depth to iterate over all of them.
    - Misc objects may now only be inserted as a leaf object with
      hwloc_topology_insert_misc_object() which deprecates
      hwloc_topology_insert_misc_object_by_parent().
  + hwloc_topology_restrict() doesn't remove objects that contain memory
    by default anymore.
    - The list of existing restrict flags was modified.
  + The discovery support array now contains some NUMA specific bits.
  + XML export functions take an additional flags argument,
    for instance for exporting XMLs that are compatible with hwloc 1.x.
  + Functions diff_load_xml*(), diff_export_xml*() and diff_destroy() in
    hwloc/diff.h do not need a topology as first parameter anymore.
  + hwloc_parse_cpumap_file () superseded by hwloc_linux_read_path_as_cpumask()
    in hwloc/linux.h.
  + HWLOC_MEMBIND_DEFAULT and HWLOC_MEMBIND_FIRSTTOUCH were clarified.
* New APIs and Features
  + Add hwloc/shmem.h for sharing topologies between processes running on
    the same machine (for reducing the memory footprint).
  + Add the experimental netloc subproject. It is disabled by default
    and can be enabled with --enable-netloc.
    It currently brings command-line tools to gather and visualize the
    topology of InfiniBand fabrics, and an API to convert such topologies
    into Scotch architectures for process mapping.
    See the documentation for details.
* Removed APIs and features
  + Remove the online_cpuset from struct hwloc_obj. Offline PUs get unknown
    topologies on Linux nowadays, and wrong topology on Solaris. Other OS
    do not support them. And one cannot do much about them anyway. Just keep
    them in complete_cpuset.
  + Remove the now-unused "System" object type HWLOC_OBJ_SYSTEM,
    defined to MACHINE for backward compatibility.
  + The almost-unused "os_level" attribute has been removed from the
    hwloc_obj structure.
  + Remove the custom interface for assembling the topologies of different
    nodes as well as the hwloc-assembler tools.
  + hwloc_topology_set_fsroot() is removed, the environment variable
    HWLOC_FSROOT may be used for the same remote testing/debugging purpose.
  + Remove the deprecated hwloc_obj_snprintf(), hwloc_obj_type_of_string(),
    hwloc_distribute[v]().
  * Remove Myrinet Express interoperability (hwloc/myriexpress.h).
  + Remove Kerrighed support from the Linux backend.
  + Remove Tru64 (OSF/1) support.
    - Remove HWLOC_MEMBIND_REPLICATE which wasn't available anywhere else.
* Backend improvements
  + Linux
    - OS devices do not have to be attached through PCI anymore,
      for instance enabling the discovery of NVDIMM block devices.
    - Remove the dependency on libnuma.
    - Add a SectorSize attribute to block OS devices.
  + Mac OS X
    - Fix detection of cores and hyperthreads.
    - Add CPUVendor, Model, ... attributes.
  + Windows
    - Add get_area_memlocation().
* Tools
  + lstopo and hwloc-info have a new --filter option matching the new filtering API.
  + lstopo can be given --children-order=plain to force a basic displaying
    of memory and normal children together below their parent.
  + hwloc-distances was removed and replaced with lstopo --distances.
* Misc
  + Exports
    - Exporting to synthetic now ignores I/O and Misc objects.
  + PCI discovery
    - Separate OS device discovery from PCI discovery. Only the latter is disabled
      with --disable-pci at configure time. Both may be disabled with --disable-io.
    - The `linuxpci' component is now renamed into `linuxio'.
    - The old `libpci' component name from hwloc 1.6 is not supported anymore,
      only the `pci' name from hwloc 1.7 is now recognized.
    - The HWLOC_PCI_<domain>_<bus>_LOCALCPUS environment variables are superseded
      with a single HWLOC_PCI_LOCALITY where bus ranges may be specified.
    - Do not set PCI devices and bridges name automatically. Vendor and device
      names are already in info attributes.
  + Components and discovery
    - Add HWLOC_SYNTHETIC environment variable to enforce a synthetic topology
      as if hwloc_topology_set_synthetic() had been called.
    - HWLOC_COMPONENTS doesn't support xml or synthetic component attributes
      anymore, they should be passed in HWLOC_XMLFILE or HWLOC_SYNTHETIC instead.
    - HWLOC_COMPONENTS takes precedence over other environment variables
      for selecting components.
  + hwloc now requires a C99 compliant compiler.

    Thanks to Grzegorz Andrejczuk.
  + Add HWLOC_PLUGINS_BLACKLIST environment variable to prevent some plugins
    from being loaded. Thanks to Alexandre Denis for the suggestion.
  + Small improvements for various Windows build systems,
    thanks to Jonathan L Peyton and Marco Atzeri.


Version 1.11.2
--------------
* Improve support for Intel Knights Landing Xeon Phi on Linux:
  + Group local NUMA nodes of normal memory (DDR) and high-bandwidth memory
    (MCDRAM) together through "Cluster" groups so that the local MCDRAM is
    easy to find.
    - See "How do I find the local MCDRAM NUMA node on Intel Knights
      Landing Xeon Phi?" in the documentation.
    - For uniformity across all KNL configurations, always have a NUMA node
      object even if the host is UMA.
  + Fix the detection of the memory-side cache:
    - Add the hwloc-dump-hwdata superuser utility to dump SMBIOS information
      into /var/run/hwloc/ as root during boot, and load this dumped
      information from the hwloc library at runtime.
    - See "Why do I need hwloc-dump-hwdata for caches on Intel Knights
      Landing Xeon Phi?" in the documentation.
  Thanks to Grzegorz Andrejczuk for the patches and for the help.
* The x86 and linux backends may now be combined for discovering CPUs
  through x86 CPUID and memory from the Linux kernel.
  This is useful for working around buggy CPU information reported by Linux
  (for instance the AMD Bulldozer/Piledriver bug below).
  Combination is enabled by passing HWLOC_COMPONENTS=x86 in the environment.
* Fix L3 cache sharing on AMD Opteron 63xx (Piledriver) and 62xx (Bulldozer)
  in the x86 backend. Thanks to many users who helped.
* Fix the overzealous L3 cache sharing fix added to the x86 backend in 1.11.1
  for AMD Opteron 61xx (Magny-Cours) processors.
* The x86 backend may now add the info attribute Inclusive=0 or 1 to caches
  it discovers, or to caches discovered by other backends earlier.
  Thanks to Guillaume Beauchamp for the patch.
* Fix the management on alloc_membind() allocation failures on AIX, HP-UX
  and OSF/Tru64.
* Fix spurious failures to load with ENOMEM on AIX in case of Misc objects
  below PUs.
* lstopo improvements in X11 and Windows graphical mode:
  + Add + - f 1 shortcuts to manually zoom-in, zoom-out, reset the scale,
    or fit the entire window.
  + Display all keyboard shortcuts in the console.
* Debug messages may be disabled at runtime by passing HWLOC_DEBUG_VERBOSE=0
  in the environment when --enable-debug was passed to configure.
* Add a FAQ entry "What are these Group objects in my topology?".

* Fix hwloc_bitmap_isincluded() in case of infinite sets.
* Change hwloc-ls.desktop into a lstopo.desktop and only install it if
  lstopo is built with Cairo/X11 support. It cannot work with a non-graphical
  lstopo or hwloc-ls.
* Add support for the renaming of Socket into Package in future releases.
* Add support for the replacement of HWLOC_OBJ_NODE with HWLOC_OBJ_NUMANODE
  in future releases.

Version 1.10.0
--------------
* API
  + Add hwloc_topology_export_synthetic() to export a topology to a
    synthetic string without using lstopo. See the Synthetic topologies
    section in the documentation.
  + Add hwloc_topology_set/get_userdata() to let the application save
    a private pointer in the topology whenever it needs a way to find
    its own object corresponding to a topology.
  + Add hwloc_get_numanode_obj_by_os_index() and document that this function
    as well as hwloc_get_pu_obj_by_os_index() are good at converting
    nodesets and cpusets into objects.
  + hwloc_distrib() does not ignore any objects anymore when there are
    too many of them. They get merged with others instead.
    Thanks to Tim Creech for reporting the issue.
* Tools
  + hwloc-bind --get <command-line> now executes the command after displaying
    the binding instead of ignoring the command entirely.
    Thanks to John Donners for the suggestion.
  + Clarify that memory sizes shown in lstopo are local by default
    unless specified (total memory added in the root object).
* Synthetic topologies
  + Synthetic topology descriptions may now specify attributes such as
    memory sizes and OS indexes. See the Synthetic topologies section
    in the documentation.
  + lstopo now exports in this fully-detailed format by default.

* Misc
  + Work around buggy Linux kernels reporting 2 sockets instead
    1 socket with 2 NUMA nodes for each Xeon E5 v3 (Haswell) processor.
  + pciutils/libpci support is now removed since libpciaccess works
    well and there's also a Linux-specific PCI backend. For the record,
    pciutils was GPL and therefore disabled by default since v1.6.2.
  + Add --disable-cpuid configure flag to work around buggy processor
    simulators reporting invalid CPUID information.
    Thanks for Andrew Friedley for reporting the issue.
  + Fix a racy use of libltdl when manipulating multiple topologies in
    different threads.

Version 1.9.0
-------------
* API
  + Add hwloc_obj_type_sscanf() to extend hwloc_obj_type_of_string() with
    type-specific attributes such as Cache/Group depth and Cache type.
    hwloc_obj_type_of_string() is moved to hwloc/deprecated.h.
  + Add hwloc_linux_get_tid_last_cpu_location() for retrieving the
    last CPU where a Linux thread given by TID ran.
  + Add hwloc_distrib() to extend the old hwloc_distribute[v]() functions.
    hwloc_distribute[v]() is moved to hwloc/deprecated.h.
  + Don't mix total and local memory when displaying verbose object attributes
    with hwloc_obj_attr_snprintf() or in lstopo.
* Backends
  + Add CPUVendor, CPUModelNumber and CPUFamilyNumber info attributes for
    x86, ia64 and Xeon Phi sockets on Linux, to extend the x86-specific
    support added in v1.8.1. Requested by Ralph Castain.
  + Add many CPU- and Platform-related info attributes on ARM and POWER
    platforms, in the Machine and Socket objects.
  + Add CUDA info attributes describing the number of multiprocessors and
    cores and the size of the global, shared and L2 cache memories in CUDA
    OS devices.
  + Add OpenCL info attributes describing the number of compute units and
    the global memory size in OpenCL OS devices.
  + The synthetic backend now accepts extended types such as L2Cache, L1i or
    Group3. lstopo also exports synthetic strings using these extended types.
* Tools
  + lstopo
    - Do not overwrite output files by default anymore.
      Pass -f or --force to enforce it.
    - Display OpenCL, CUDA and Xeon Phi numbers of cores and memory sizes
      in the graphical output.
    - Fix export to stdout when specifying a Cairo-based output type
      with --of.
  + hwloc-ps
    - Add -e or --get-last-cpu-location to report where processes/threads
      run instead of where they are bound.
    - Report locations as likely-more-useful objects such as Cores or Sockets
      instead of Caches when possible.
  + hwloc-bind
    - Fix failure on Windows when not using --pid.
    - Add -e as a synonym to --get-last-cpu-location.
  + hwloc-distrib
    - Add --reverse to distribute using last objects first and singlify
      into last bits first. Thanks to Jirka Hladky for the suggestion.
  + hwloc-info
    - Report unified caches when looking for data or instruction cache
      ancestor objects.
* Misc
  + Add experimental Visual Studio support under contrib/windows.
    Thanks to Eloi Gaudry for his help and for providing the first draft.
  + Fix some overzealous assertions and warnings about the ordering of
    objects on a level with respect to cpusets. The ordering is only
    guaranteed for complete cpusets (based on the first bit in sets).
  + Fix some memory leaks when importing xml diffs and when exporting a
    "too complex" entry.


Version 1.8.1
-------------
* Fix the cpuid code on Windows 64bits so that the x86 backend gets
  enabled as expected and can populate CPU information.
  Thanks to Robin Scher for reporting the problem.

  Thanks to Jeff Becker for reporting the problem and testing the patch.
* Add a name to the lstopo graphical window. Thanks to Michael Prokop
  for reporting the issue.


Version 1.8.0
-------------
* New components
  + Add the "linuxpci" component that always works on Linux even when
    libpciaccess and libpci aren't available (and even with a modified
    file-system root). By default the old "pci" component runs first
    because "linuxpci" lacks device names (obj->name is always NULL).
* API
  + Add the topology difference API in hwloc/diff.h for manipulating
    many similar topologies.
  + Add hwloc_topology_dup() for duplicating an entire topology.
  + hwloc.h and hwloc/helper.h have been reorganized to clarify the
    documentation sections. The actual inline code has moved out of hwloc.h
    into the new hwloc/inlines.h.
  + Deprecated functions are now in hwloc/deprecated.h, and not in the
    official documentation anymore.
* Tools
  + Add hwloc-diff and hwloc-patch tools together with the new diff API.
  + Add hwloc-compress-dir to (de)compress an entire directory of XML files
    using hwloc-diff and hwloc-patch.
  + Object colors in the graphical output of lstopo may be changed by adding
    a "lstopoStyle" info attribute. See CUSTOM COLORS in the lstopo(1) manpage
    for details. Thanks to Jirka Hladky for discussing the idea.
  + hwloc-gather-topology may now gather I/O-related files on Linux when
    --io is given. Only the linuxpci component supports discovering I/O
    objects from these extended tarballs.
  + hwloc-annotate now supports --ri to remove/replace info attributes with
    a given name.
  + hwloc-info supports "root" and "all" special locations for dumping
    information about the root object.
  + lstopo now supports --append-legend to append custom lines of text
    to the legend in the graphical output. Thanks to Jirka Hladky for
    discussing the idea.
  + hwloc-calc and friends have a more robust parsing of locations given
    on the command-line and they report useful error messages about it.
  + Add --whole-system to hwloc-bind, hwloc-calc, hwloc-distances and
    hwloc-distrib, and add --restrict to hwloc-bind for uniformity among
    tools.
* Misc
  + Calling hwloc_topology_load() or hwloc_topology_set_*() on an already
    loaded topology now returns an error (deprecated since release 1.6.1).
  + Fix the initialisation of cpusets and nodesets in Group objects added
    when inserting PCI hostbridges.
  + Never merge Group objects that were added explicitly by the user with
    hwloc_custom_insert_group_object_by_parent().
  + Add a sanity check during dynamic plugin loading to prevent some
    crashes when hwloc is dynamically loaded by another plugin mechanisms.
  + Add --with-hwloc-plugins-path to specify the install/load directories
    of plugins.
  + Add the MICSerialNumber info attribute to the root object when running
    hwloc inside a Xeon Phi to match the same attribute in the MIC OS device
    when running in the host.


Version 1.7.2
-------------
* Do not create invalid block OS devices on very old Linux kernel such
  as RHEL4 2.6.9.
* Fix PCI subvendor/device IDs.

  Thanks to Jirka Hladky for reporting the problem.
* Fix embedding breakage caused by libltdl.
  Thanks to Pavan Balaji for reporting the problem.
* Always use the system-wide libltdl instead of shipping one inside hwloc.
* Document issues when enabling plugins while embedding hwloc in another
  project, in the documentation section Embedding hwloc in Other Software.
* Add a FAQ entry "How to get useful topology information on NetBSD?"
  in the documentation.

  + Add co-processor OS devices such as "opencl0d0" for OpenCL GPU devices
    on the AMD OpenCL implementation.
  + Add GPU OS devices such as ":0.0" for NVIDIA X11 displays.
  + Add GPU OS devices such as "nvml0" for NVIDIA GPUs.
    Thanks to Marwan Abdellah and Stefan Eilemann for helping.
  These new OS devices have some string info attributes such as CoProcType,
  GPUModel, etc. to better identify them.
  See the I/O Devices and Attributes documentation sections for details.
* New components
  + Add the "opencl", "cuda", "nvml" and "gl" components for I/O device
    discovery.
  + "nvml" also improves the discovery of NVIDIA GPU PCIe link speed.
  All of these new components may be built as plugins. They may also be
  disabled entirely by passing --disable-opencl/cuda/nvml/gl to configure.
  See the I/O Devices, Components and Plugins, and FAQ documentation
  sections for details.
* API
  + Add hwloc_topology_get_flags().
  + Add hwloc/plugins.h for building external plugins.
    See the Adding new discovery components and plugins section.
* Interoperability
  + Add hwloc/opencl.h, hwloc/nvml.h, hwloc/gl.h and hwloc/intel-mic.h
    to retrieve the locality of OS devices that correspond to AMD OpenCL
    GPU devices or indexes, to NVML devices or indexes, to NVIDIA X11
    displays, or to Intel Xeon Phi (MIC) device indexes.
  + Add new helpers in hwloc/cuda.h and hwloc/cudart.h to convert
    between CUDA devices or indexes and hwloc OS devices.
  + Add hwloc_ibv_get_device_osdev() and clarify the requirements
    of the OpenFabrics Verbs helpers in hwloc/openfabrics-verbs.h.

    dumps information about objects given on the command-line.
* Documentation
  + Add a section "Existing components and plugins".
  + Add a list of common OS devices in section "Software devices".
  + Add a new FAQ entry "Why is lstopo slow?" about lstopo slowness
    issues because of GPUs.
  + Clarify the documentation of inline helpers in hwloc/myriexpress.h
    and hwloc/openfabrics-verbs.h.
* Misc
  + Improve cache detection on AIX.
  + The HWLOC_COMPONENTS variable now excludes the components whose
    names are prefixed with '-'.
  + lstopo --ignore PU now works when displaying the topology in
    graphical and textual mode (not when exporting to XML).
  + Make sure I/O options always appear in lstopo usage, not only when
    using pciutils/libpci.
  + Remove some unneeded Linux specific includes from some interoperability
    headers.
  + Fix some inconsistencies in hwloc-distrib and hwloc-assembler-remote
    manpages. Thanks to Guy Streeter for the report.
  + Fix a memory leak on AIX when getting memory binding.
  + Fix many small memory leaks on Linux.
  + The `libpci' component is now called `pci' but the old name is still
    accepted in the HWLOC_COMPONENTS variable for backward compatibility.


Version 1.6.2
-------------
* Use libpciaccess instead of pciutils/libpci by default for I/O discovery.
  pciutils/libpci is only used if --enable-libpci is given to configure
  because its GPL license may taint hwloc. See the Installation section
  in the documentation for details.
* Fix get_cpubind on Solaris when bound to a single PU with
  processor_bind(). Thanks to Eugene Loh for reporting the problem
  and providing a patch.


Version 1.6.1
-------------
* Fix some crash or buggy detection in the x86 backend when Linux
  cgroups/cpusets restrict the available CPUs.
* Fix the pkg-config output with --libs --static.
  Thanks to Erik Schnetter for reporting one of the problems.
* Fix the output of hwloc-calc -H --hierarchical when using logical
  indexes in the output.
* Calling hwloc_topology_load() multiple times on the same topology
  is officially deprecated. hwloc will warn in such cases.
* Add some documentation about existing plugins/components, package
  dependencies, and I/O devices specification on the command-line.


Version 1.6.0
-------------
* Major changes
  + Reorganize the backend infrastructure to support dynamic selection
    of components and dynamic loading of plugins. For details, see the
    new documentation section Components and plugins.
    - The HWLOC_COMPONENTS variable lets one replace the default discovery
      components.
    - Dynamic loading of plugins may be enabled with --enable-plugins
      (except on AIX and Windows). It will build libxml2 and libpci
      support as separated modules. This helps reducing the dependencies
      of the core hwloc library when distributed as a binary package.
* Backends
  + Add CPUModel detection on Darwin and x86/FreeBSD.
    Thanks to Robin Scher for providing ways to implement this.
  + The x86 backend now adds CPUModel info attributes to socket objects
    created by other backends that do not natively support this attribute.
  + Fix detection on FreeBSD in case of cpuset restriction. Thanks to
    Sebastian Kuzminsky for reporting the problem.
* XML
  + Add hwloc_topology_set_userdata_import/export_callback(),
    hwloc_export_obj_userdata() and _userdata_base64() to let
    applications specify how to save/restore the custom data they placed
    in the userdata private pointer field of hwloc objects.
* Tools
  + Add hwloc-annotate program to add string info attributes to XML
    topologies.
  + Add --pid-cmd to hwloc-ps to append the output of a command to each
    PID line. May be used for showing Open MPI process ranks, see the
    hwloc-ps(1) manpage for details.
  + hwloc-bind now exits with an error if binding fails; the executable
    is not launched unless binding suceeeded or --force was given.
  + Add --quiet to hwloc-calc and hwloc-bind to hide non-fatal error
    messages.
  + Fix command-line pid support in windows tools.
  + All programs accept --verbose as a synonym to -v.
* Misc
  + Fix some DIR descriptor leaks on Linux.
  + Fix I/O device lists when some were filtered out after a XML import.
  + Fix the removal of I/O objects when importing a I/O-enabled XML topology
    without any I/O topology flag.
  + When merging objects with HWLOC_IGNORE_TYPE_KEEP_STRUCTURE or
    lstopo --merge, compare object types before deciding which one of two
    identical object to remove (e.g. keep sockets in favor of caches).
  + Add some GUID- and LID-related info attributes to OpenFabrics
    OS devices.
  + Only add CPUType socket attributes on Solaris/Sparc. Other cases
    don't report reliable information (Solaris/x86), and a replacement
    is available as the Architecture string info in the Machine object.
  + Add missing Backend string info on Solaris in most cases.
  + Document object attributes and string infos in a new Attributes
    section in the documentation.
  + Add a section about Synthetic topologies in the documentation.


Version 1.5.2 (some of these changes are in 1.6.2 but not in 1.6)
-------------
* Use libpciaccess instead of pciutils/libpci by default for I/O discovery.
  pciutils/libpci is only used if --enable-libpci is given to configure
  because its GPL license may taint hwloc. See the Installation section
  in the documentation for details.
* Fix get_cpubind on Solaris when bound to a single PU with
  processor_bind(). Thanks to Eugene Loh for reporting the problem
  and providing a patch.
* Fix some DIR descriptor leaks on Linux.
* Fix I/O device lists when some were filtered out after a XML import.
* Add missing Backend string info on Solaris in most cases.
* Fix the removal of I/O objects when importing a I/O-enabled XML topology
  without any I/O topology flag.
* Fix the output of hwloc-calc -H --hierarchical when using logical
  indexes in the output.

  Thanks to Erik Schnetter for reporting one of the problems.


Version 1.5.1
-------------

Version 1.5.0
-------------
* Backends
  + Do not limit the number of processors to 1024 on Solaris anymore.
  + Gather total machine memory on FreeBSD. Thanks to Cyril Roelandt.
  + XML topology files do not depend on the locale anymore. Float numbers
    such as NUMA distances or PCI link speeds now always use a dot as a
    decimal separator.
  + Add instruction caches detection on Linux, AIX, Windows and Darwin.
  + Add get_last_cpu_location() support for the current thread on AIX.
  + Support binding on AIX when threads or processes were bound with
    bindprocessor(). Thanks to Hendryk Bockelmann for reporting the issue
    and testing patches, and to Farid Parpia for explaining the binding
    interfaces.
  + Improve AMD topology detection in the x86 backend (for FreeBSD) using
    the topoext feature.
* API
  + Increase HWLOC_API_VERSION to 0x00010500 so that API changes may be
    detected at build-time.
  + Add a cache type attribute describind Data, Instruction and Unified
    caches. Caches with different types but same depth (for instance L1d
    and L1i) are placed on different levels.
  + Add hwloc_get_cache_type_depth() to retrieve the hwloc level depth of
    of the given cache depth and type, for instance L1i or L2.
    It helps  disambiguating the case where hwloc_get_type_depth() returns
    HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_MULTIPLE.
  + Instruction caches are ignored unless HWLOC_TOPOLOGY_FLAG_ICACHES is
    passed to hwloc_topology_set_flags() before load.
  + Add hwloc_ibv_get_device_osdev_by_name() OpenFabrics helper in
    openfabrics-verbs.h to find the hwloc OS device object corresponding to
    an OpenFabrics device.
* Tools
  + Add lstopo-no-graphics, a lstopo built without graphical support to
    avoid dependencies on external libraries such as Cairo and X11. When
    supported, graphical outputs are only available in the original lstopo
    program.
    - Packagers splitting lstopo and lstopo-no-graphics into different
      packages are advised to use the alternatives system so that lstopo
      points to the best available binary.
  + Instruction caches are enabled in lstopo by default. Use --no-icaches
    to disable them.
  + Add -t/--threads to show threads in hwloc-ps.
* Removal of obsolete components
  + Remove the old cpuset interface (hwloc/cpuset.h) which is deprecated and
    superseded by the bitmap API (hwloc/bitmap.h) since v1.1.
    hwloc_cpuset and nodeset types are still defined, but all hwloc_cpuset_*
    compatibility wrappers are now gone.
  + Remove Linux libnuma conversion helpers for the deprecated and
    broken nodemask_t interface.
  + Remove support for "Proc" type name, it was superseded by "PU" in v1.0.
  + Remove hwloc-mask symlinks, it was replaced by hwloc-calc in v1.0.
* Misc
  + Fix PCIe 3.0 link speed computation.
  + Non-printable characters are dropped from strings during XML export.
  + Fix importing of escaped characters with the minimalistic XML backend.
  + Assert hwloc_is_thissystem() in several I/O related helpers.
  + Fix some memory leaks in the x86 backend for FreeBSD.
  + Minor fixes to ease native builds on Windows.
  + Limit the number of retries when operating on all threads within a
    process on Linux if the list of threads is heavily getting modified.


Version 1.4.3
-------------
* This release is only meant to fix the pciutils license issue when upgrading
  to hwloc v1.5 or later is not possible. It contains several other minor
  fixes but ignores many of them that are only in v1.5 or later.
* Use libpciaccess instead of pciutils/libpci by default for I/O discovery.
  pciutils/libpci is only used if --enable-libpci is given to configure
  because its GPL license may taint hwloc. See the Installation section
  in the documentation for details.

Version 1.1.0
-------------

* API
  + Increase HWLOC_API_VERSION to 0x00010100 so that API changes may be
    detected at build-time.
  + Add a memory binding interface.
  + The cpuset API (hwloc/cpuset.h) is now deprecated. It is replaced by
    the bitmap API (hwloc/bitmap.h) which offers the same features with more
    generic names since it applies to CPU sets, node sets and more.
    Backward compatibility with the cpuset API and ABI is still provided but
    it will be removed in a future release.
    Old types (hwloc_cpuset_t, ...) are still available as a way to clarify
    what kind of hwloc_bitmap_t each API function manipulates.
    Upgrading to the new API only requires to replace hwloc_cpuset_ function
    calls with the corresponding hwloc_bitmap_ calls, with the following
    renaming exceptions:
    - hwloc_cpuset_cpu -> hwloc_bitmap_only
    - hwloc_cpuset_all_but_cpu -> hwloc_bitmap_allbut
    - hwloc_cpuset_from_string -> hwloc_bitmap_sscanf
  + Add an `infos' array in each object to store couples of info names and
    values. It enables generic storage of things like the old dmi board infos
    that were previously stored in machine specific attributes.
  + Add linesize cache attribute.
* Features
  + Bitmaps (and thus CPU sets and node sets) are dynamically (re-)allocated,
    the maximal number of CPUs (HWLOC_NBMAXCPUS) has been removed.
  + Improve the distance-based grouping code to better support irregular
    distance matrices.
  + Add support for device-tree to get cache information (useful on Power
    architectures).
* Helpers
  + Add NVIDIA CUDA helpers in cuda.h and cudart.h to ease interoperability
    with CUDA Runtime and Driver APIs.
  + Add Myrinet Express helper in myriexpress.h to ease interoperability.
* Tools
  + lstopo now displays physical/OS indexes by default in graphical mode
    (use -l to switch back to logical indexes). The textual output still uses
    logical by default (use -p to switch to physical indexes).
  + lstopo prefixes logical indexes with `L#' and physical indexes with `P#'.
    Physical indexes are also printed as `P#N' instead of `phys=N' within
    object attributes (in parentheses).
  + Add a legend at the bottom of the lstopo graphical output, use --no-legend
    to remove it.
  + Add hwloc-ps to list process' bindings.
  + Add --membind and --mempolicy options to hwloc-bind.
  + Improve tools command-line options by adding a generic --input option
    (and more) which replaces the old --xml, --synthetic and --fsys-root.
  + Cleanup lstopo output configuration by adding --output-format.
  + Add --intersect in hwloc-calc, and replace --objects with --largest.
  + Add the ability to work on standard input in hwloc-calc.
  + Add --from, --to and --at in hwloc-distrib.
  + Add taskset-specific functions and command-line tools options to
    manipulate CPU set strings in the format of the taskset program.
  + Install hwloc-gather-topology.sh on Linux.
