* Added the rocm component to support performance counters on AMD GPUs.
* Added the rocm_smi component; SMI is System Management Interface to monitor power usage on AMD GPUs, which is also writeable by the user, e.g. to reduce power consumption on non-critical operations.
* Added \'io\' component to expose I/O statistics exported by the Linux kernel (/proc/self/io).
* Added \'SDE\' component, Software Defined Events, which allows HPC software layers to expose internal performance-critical behavior via Software Defined Events (SDEs) through the PAPI interface.
* Added \'SDE API\' to register performance-critical events that originate from HPC software layers, and which are recognized as \'PAPI counters\' and, thus, can be monitored with the standard PAPI interface.
* Added powercap_ppc component to support monitoring and capping of power usage on IBM PowerPC architectures (Power9 and later) using the powercap interface exposed through the Linux kernel.
* Added \'sensors_ppc\' component to support monitoring of system metrics on IBM PowerPC architectures (Power9 and later) using the opal/exports sysfs interface.
* Retired infiniband_umad component, it is superseded by infiniband.
* Revived PAPI\'s \'high-level API\' to make it more intuitive and effective for novice users and quick event reporting.
* Added \'counter_analysis_toolkit\' sub-directory (CAT): A tool to assist with native performance counter disambiguation through micro-benchmarks, which are used to probe different important aspects of modern CPUs, to aid the classification of native performance events.
* Other Changes include:
* Standardized our environment variables and implemented a simplified, unified approach for specifying libraries necessary for components, with overrides possible for special circumstances. Eliminated component level \'configure\' requirements.
* Corrected TLS issues (Thread Local Storage) and race conditions.
* Several bug fixes, documentation fixes and enhancements, improvements to README files for user instruction and code comments. - Other Changes:
