*********************************************************************
* Release 5.0.1 of the MRNet Multicast/Reduction OverlayNetwork *
*********************************************************************
The new 5.0.1 release of MRNet is now available. This release of MRNet
includes a source distribution for Unix/Linux and Windows platforms,
plus pre-built binaries for Windows. The release also includes
associated manuals.
Improvements made to MRNet since version 5.0 have been incorporated into
version 5.0.1.
MRNet is a customizable, high-performance software infrastructure for
building scalable tools and applications. It supports efficient
multicast and data aggregation functionality using a tree of processes
between the tool's front-end and back-ends. MRNet-based tools may use
these internal processes to distribute many important tool activities,
for example to reduce data analysis time and keep tool front-end loads
manageable.
Technical papers about MRNet can be found in the 'Middleware' section at:

The new features and fixes include:
* Fixed hanging issues with loading of filter functions.
* Lightweight lowfat library should now produce shared object libraries
which do not include hard links to dependency libraries.
* Build system fixes when cross compiling MRNet for other architectures
* Lightweight infrastructure-bootstrapping infrastructure (LIBI) header
dependencies within MRNet removed.
* Numerous additional bug related fixes

MRNet is designed to be a highly-portable system. The source code has
been compiled using both GNU GCC and native platform compilers. We
have successfully tested MRNet components on the following platforms:
- Linux : x86, x86_64, powerpc64, Cray XT, ARM64
- Windows : x86, x86_64
