Darshan 2.3.1-pre2 is now available on the download page for testing and feedback. The most significant changes since 2.3.1-pre1 are better support for recent MPICH releases, examples and documentation for the -profile hooks in MPICH, and the addition of a regression testing framework. Our plan is to feature freeze at this point and focus on platform testing for the final 2.3.1 release.
The full changelog since 2.3.0 is as follows:
darshan-2.3.1-pre2
=============
* added documentation and example configuration files for using the -profile or $MPICC_PROFILE hooks to add instrumentation to MPICH-based MPI
implementations without generating custom wrapper scripts
* Add wrappers for mkstemp(), mkostemp(), mkstemps(), and mkostemps() (reported by Tom Peterka)
* Change OPEN_TIMESTAMP field to report timestamp right before open() is invoked rather than after timestamp after open is completed. NOTE: updated log format version to 2.06 to reflect this change.
