3.0.0 -- 13 Nov 2022
--------------------
.. important:: This release represents a major update to the PRRTE
               code base from prior releases. Many of the changes will be
               transparent to the user. However, there are a few key areas that
               may (likely) impact users. These include:

                 - changes to the cmd line interpreter. PRRTE has provided an
                   abstraction layer that allows programming library developers
                   and environment vendors to customize the cmd line of PRRTE
                   binaries (e.g., prterun and prun). This is governed by the
                   detection of a "personality" that is to be used for defining
                   the cmd line options. The personality can be set either directly
                   on the cmd line itself (via the "--personality foo" option) or
                   is detected by PRRTE thru the environment.
                 - a more extensive "--help" support system.
                 - reduction in the "--rank-by" options.
                 - addition of new "--output" options
                 - removal of the "mindist" mapper due to lack of a maintainer

               There are quite a few more changes than listed here, but they mostly
               pertain to code internals. However, these dictate that PRRTE v3.0.0
               require use of PMIx v4.2 or above to compile. Note that this doesn't
               impact the PMIx level associated with any applications executed by
               PRRTE - the only requirement is that applications link against a
               PMIx version that meets the PMIx cross-version requirements (i.e., a
               minimum of PMIx v2.5).

Detailed changes include:

- PR #1412: Restrict PRRTE to PMIx v4.2+
- PR #1410: Remove schizo/hydra component
- PR #1409: Add new output options to help string
- PR #1407: Support a broader range of IO output formats
- PR #1404: Fix a hang in daemon callback
- PR #1402: Cleanup race condition in daemon reports
- PR #1399: Multiple commits
   - Allow mapping in overload scenario if bind not specified
   - Ensure rankfile and seq mappers computer local and app ranks
- PR #1394: Add forwarding of stdin to indirect example
- PR #1391: Change the default mapping for --bind-to none option to BYSLOT.
