 ===================================
     Library
     -------
+
+    - Dropped support for MPI-2
+
+      The MPI-2 supporting artifacts have been removed due to the cessation
+      of MPI-2 maintenance and testing since version HDF5 1.12.

     - Fixed a bug with the way the Subfiling VFD assigns I/O concentrators
 
       During a file open operation, the Subfiling VFD determines the topology
