[Mpi-forum] MPI 4.1 Git Repository

[Wes Bland]

Hi all,

I want to update folks on the status of the MPI standard document repository. As discussed in the July 2023 meeting, we’re now in “release candidate mode”, which means that between now and the release of the MPI 4.1 document, we won’t be merging any more changes into the mpi-4.x branch until the document has been ratified (or we start the process over). This means that all changes from this point on need to be based on the mpi-41-rc branch. I created the branch this morning and it’s now available in the GitHub repository.

From a practical perspective, this means that if you’re making any further edits to address minor issues, you should start from the mpi-41-rc branch on your laptop. When you push your changes to GitHub as a pull request, it will automatically use the mpi-41-rc branch as I’ve made it the default.

If there are any outstanding changes that are already in pull requests, I haven’t changed any existing PRs. You can do that yourself, if you’d like, by opening your pull requests’s page, clicking the “edit” button in the top right corner, then clicking the “base” dropdown underneath the PR title. Choose mpi-41-rc and GitHub should do the rest for you and let you know if there’s a problem.

If you have any issues, please let me know.

If you’d like to see the compiled MPI 4.1 RC1 document, it’s available (or will be in a few minutes as the site was just published) on the docs page on the website: https://www.mpi-forum.org/docs/

Thanks,
Wes
