New in 2022.1.3 Product Release for Windows* only

  • Fixed integration issue with Microsoft* Visual Studio* 2022 version 17.1.x.

KNOWN ISSUE
When a user installs oneAPI BaseKit 2022.1.3 over oneAPI BaseKit 2022.1.2 with VS2022 version 17.1.x installed, the installer updates and does not crash. But some components of oneAPI BaseKit 2022.1.2 are not removed during the update process.

WORKAROUND

  1. Deinstall all Visual Studio instances.
  2. Deinstall oneAPI Toolkits 2022.1.2.
  3. Reinstall Visual Studio 2022 version 17.1.x.
  4. Install BaseKit 2022.1.3 and other Toolkits needed.

If you have any questions and have access to Priority Support, create a case at Online Service Center. Otherwise, post a message on the Intel oneAPI Registration Forum.

New in 2022.1.2 Product Release for Windows* only

  • For customers who installed Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit 2022.1.2 and applied the workaround described in Known Issues and Limitations section of Release Notes for that release:
    • Install Intel oneAPI HPC Toolkit 2022.1.2 and remove previously applied workaround.

KNOWN ISSUE
On Windows, the installation of Intel oneAPI Toolkits versions 2022.1 and 2022.1.2 and standalone components will fail using Microsoft* Visual Studio* 2022 version 17.1.x. 

There are 2 possible workarounds. Prior to installing a oneAPI toolkit or component:
•    Uninstall Visual Studio 2022 version 17.1.x and install the older version 17.0.6 from here Visual Studio 2022 Release History | Microsoft Docs.
•    Replace Microsoft.VisualStudio.Setup.Configuration.Native.dll with same dll from a Visual Studio 2022 17.0.x release. For example, from version 17.0.6 see Visual Studio 2022 Release History | Microsoft Docs.

We are striving to provide a new release in the weeks ahead to address this installation issue.

New in 2022.1.2 Product Release for Linux* only

Installation Instructions

Please see the Installation Guide for oneAPI Toolkits.

Known Issues

  • For users who have a supported version of Visual Studio* installed, the installation of IDE integration can be very slow. It may take 30+ minutes just for the IDE integrations installation sometimes. Please be extra patient and it will be eventually installed. 
  • Installing oneAPI 2022.1, then installing oneAPI 2022.2, and subsequently uninstalling oneAPI 2022.1 will lead to gdb_oneapi.zip and com.intel.samples.update-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip plugins being unable to be found in the <installdir>/etc/eclipse directory.  Workarounds:
     

    1. Take the plugins from their original locations:

      <installdir>/debugger/latest/ide_support/eclipse/gdb_oneapi.zip
      <installdir>/dev-utilities/latest/ide-support/eclipse/com.intel.samples.update-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip

      where <installdir> is /opt/intel/oneapi by default, if the directory was changed during installation, please use it here

    2. Manually restore the symlinks:

      ONEAPI_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/intel/oneapi    # if the directory was changed during installation, please use it here
      ln -sT $ONEAPI_INSTALL_DIR/dev-utilities/latest/ide-support/eclipse/com.intel.samples.update-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip $ONEAPI_INSTALL_DIR/etc/eclipse/com.intel.samples.update-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip
      ln -sT $ONEAPI_INSTALL_DIR/debugger/latest/ide_support/eclipse/gdb_oneapi.zip $ONEAPI_INSTALL_DIR/etc/eclipse/gdb_oneapi.zip

    3. Repair oneAPI 2022.2 using the Installer app: <installdir>/oneapi/installer/installer

  • Latest GPU driver available at https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/ introduces an Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) build issue for OpenMP offload applications running on Gen9 iGPU when using oneAPI compilers. A fix for this issue will be available in the upcoming driver release. 
    For assistance with downgrading to a version of driver which does not have this issue, contact us via Graphics - Intel Communities.
  • Users who installed 2021.1 packages for Linux* via package managers YUM/DNF or Zypper may encounter errors during the upgrade process.  Please see https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/news/yum-dnf-apt-zypper-packages-oneapi-2021-1-gold.html for details.
  • If you have chosen to download the Get Started Guide to use offline, viewing it in Chrome, may cause the text to disappear when the browser window is resized. To fix this problem, resize your browser window again, or use a different browser.
  • Diagnostics Utility for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits:
    • Diagnostics utility supports to run executing checkers only in .sh format.
    • Diagnostics utility may not find oneAPI system check if they installed in some custom directory.
    • Diagnostics utility doesn't run oneAPI system checks with root privileges.
    • If you would like to run all checks from a single checker and some check has dependency checks from other checker (checks that must be run before the desired check):
      • By the --single_checker option - the tool will not be able to find the dependencies and check will not be run.
      • By the --config and --filter options - the tool will not be able to find the dependencies and check will not be run. Workaround: Add dependency checks to run list.
      • The oneAPI products detection check will not find products version, if oneAPI installer cache was removed.

Deprecated/Removed Features

  • Support for Intel® Xeon Phi™ Processor x200 “Knights Landing (KNL)” and Intel® Xeon Phi™ Processors “Knights Mill (KNM)” is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.  Intel® Xeon Phi™ customers should continue to use compilers, libraries, and tools from the Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2020 and older PSXE releases, or compilers from the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit and Intel® oneAPI HPC Toolkit versions 2021.2 or 2021.1.
  • Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2017* is deprecated in this release and will be removed in a future version.
  • Intel® C++ Compiler Classic (icc) is deprecated and will be removed in a oneAPI release in the second half of 2023. Intel recommends that customers transition now to using the LLVM-based Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler (icx) for continued Windows* and Linux* support, new language support, new language features, and optimizations. Note that starting with release 2021.7, macOS* support is limited to Mac* computers with Intel® Processors.
