  SMPI
   - New algorithm to privatize globals: dlopen, with dynamic loading tricks
   - New option: smpi/keep-temps to not cleanup temp files
+  - New option : smpi/shared-malloc-blocksize . Relevant only when global shared 
+    mallocs mode is used, allows to change the size of the fake file used
+    (default 1MB), to potentially limit the number of mappings for large runs.
   - Support for sparse privatized malloc with SMPI_PARTIAL_SHARED_MALLOC()
+  - Fortran ifort and flang compilers support
+  - New RMA calls supported (experimental) :
+      - MPI_Win_allocate, MPI_Win_create_dynamic, MPI_Win_attach
