All, The BOLT/Argobots team is pleased to announce the availability of new release versions of BOLT and Argobots (bolt-v1.0rc1 and argobots-v1.0rc1). These contain several new features, and performance optimizations, and bug fixes over the previous 1.0b1 releases. Among the biggest features are the BOLT upgrade to LLVM OpenMP 7.0, supporting most of OpenMP 4.5, and production integration of the new Argobots dynamic promotion technique (which will presented at SC'18). We encourage users to upgrade to these latest releases. Tarballs can be found either on the BOLT and Argobots websites (bolt-omp.org and argobots.org), on GitHub (pmodels/bolt and pmodels/argobots), or on the SOLLVE website. Best regards, The BOLT/Argobots Team
