The changes post version 1.1.3 reached a critical mass after about 9 months and it was time to cut a new release.
There are a lot changes all over the board:
o upgraded NPB support to use version 3.2.1
o added PSNAP OS noise measurement code from LANL
o added STREAM2 benchmark
o added the 'stress' UNIX OS system stress testing utility and
included it in the standard NODEHWTEST...
