-3)
+1) The "minimum_patch_load" optional input parameter in load balancing classes
+CascadePartitioner and TreeLoadBalance has been changed to
+"artificial_minimum_load".  This parameter, if used, sets a value that
+gives an artificially larger load value to small boxes that are provided
+to or created by the load balancer classes.  If a box's size is less than
+the value given by this parameter, the load balancer algorithm will treat
+it as if its size is the artificial minimum load value.
+
+The purpose of this parameter is to reduce the likelihood of gathering large
+numbers of small patches on individual ranks.  A user may use this parameter
+in situations when they may prefer a more equal balance of the patch count
+across ranks and are willing to create an unequal balance of the zone count
+to achieve that goal.
