[mpi-21] MPI 2.1 Versions history

[Rolf Rabenseifner]

This is the currently proposed Versions History as shown on the 
back-page of the title page

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2.1: <date>, 2008.   This document combines the previous 
documents MPI 1.3 (????, 2008) and MPI-2.0 (July 18, 1997). 
Certain parts of MPI 2.0, such as some sections of Chapter 4, 
Miscellany, and Chapter 7, Extended Collective Operations have 
been merged into the Chapters of MPI 1.3. Additional errata and 
clarifications collected by the MPI Forum are also included in 
this document.

Version 1.3: <date>, 2008.   This document combines the previous 
documents MPI 1.1 (June 12, 1995) and the MPI 1.2 Chapter in MPI-2 
(July 18, 1997). Additional errata collected by the MPI Forum 
referring to MPI 1.1 and MPI 1.2 are also included in this 
document.

Version 2.0: <date>, 1997.   Beginning after the release of 
MPI 1.1, the MPI Forum began meeting to consider corrections and 
extensions. MPI-2 has been focused on process creation and 
management, one-sided communications, extended collective 
communications, external interfaces and parallel I/O. A miscellany 
chapter discusses items that don't fit elsewhere, in particular 
language interoperability.

Version 1.2: July 18, 1997.   The MPI-2 Forum introduced MPI 1.2 ...

Version 1.1: June, 1995.   Beginning in March, 1995, the Message ...

Version 1.0: June, 1994.   The Message Passing Interface Forum ...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It is based on the existing text from MPI 1.1
(For completness, I repeated the already voted text about MPI 1.3)
The words "Version x.x: date, year" will be printed bold face
(as shown in MPI 1.1 on the second frontmatter page).

Are there proposals for modifications?

Discussion should be done through the new mailing list
mpi-21_at_cs.uiuc.edu.

I have sent out this mail with CC through the old general list
mpi-21_at_[hidden]
