Here's what the version numbers were for v1.5.3: libmpi_so_version=1:1:0 libmpi_cxx_so_version=1:1:0 libmpi_f77_so_version=1:1:0 libmpi_f90_so_version=1:1:0 libopen_rte_so_version=2:0:0 libopen_pal_so_version=2:0:0
Here's what I think they should be for v1.5.4 -- can someone sanity check me? libmpi_so_version=1:2:0 --> None of the C MPI API calls have changed (which is what we defined as the only interfaces that matter here), but some internal code did change. libmpi_cxx_so_version=1:1:0 --> No interface or code changes (same number as v1.5.3) libmpi_f77_so_version=1:2:0 --> Minor fixes to some logic, but no interfaces changed libmpi_f90_so_version=2:0:1 --> New (correct) interfaces for MPI_SCATTERV were added. The old (incorrect) interfaces were kept for ABI reasons. libopen_rte_so_version=3:0:0 --> The app_idx change breaks compatibility with older versions libopen_pal_so_version=3:0:0 --> The DDT changes break compatibility with older versions -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
