Enhancement - Improved network handling for compute nodes. Any interface may be used for the "private network", and will be renamed 'eth0'. Improved support for additional network cards in the database.
Enhancement - Wide-Area Frontend kickstart capability. Allows frontend installs without the use of CDs.
Enhancement - Full support for cross-architecture clusters. Some power-users have done this before, however in this release support is built in and more extensively tested. Frontend will automatically detect compute node's architecture and use correct (most-native) distribution.
Bug Fix - 411: more robust alerts for changed files. Correct Makefile encrypts login files on frontend first-boot.
Enhancement - New Myrinet MPICH version 1.2.5..12.
