+findmpi-overhaul
+----------------
+
+* :module:`FindMPI` gained a number of new features, including:
+
+ * Language-specific components have been added to the module.
+ * Many more MPI environments are now supported.
+ * The environmental support for Fortran has been improved.
+ * A user now has fine-grained control over the MPI selection process,
+ including passing custom parameters to the MPI compiler.
+ * The version of the implemented MPI standard is now being exposed.
+ * MPI-2 C++ bindings can now be detected and also suppressed if so desired.
+ * The available Fortran bindings are now being detected and verified.
+ * Various MPI-3 information can be requested, including the library version
+ and Fortran capabilities of the individual bindings.
+ * Statically linked MPI implementations are supported.
