Changed

  • cmake_minimum_required version from 3.3 to 3.5

[1.3.0] - 2023-05-25

Added

  • the native flush support (required support in the kernel and in an RNIC's driver)
  • missing unit tests for rpma_mr_atomic_write()
  • a check if librpma uses rdma-core installed from sources

  • internal APIs:
    • rpma_utils_ibv_context_is_flush_capable() - checks if kernel supports the native flush

  • some wrong and misleading comments in tests/unit/peer/peer-mr_reg.c
  • OS version in the Coverity CI build
