No, 1.5.5 was the end of that line. Let me explain our versioning: - 1.odd numbers (1.5.x) are "Feature" series. - 1.even numbers (1.6.x) are "Stable" series. 1.6 is just a re-naming from the 1.5 series (i.e., it's not a new branch from the trunk). It represents the maturity of a feature series. Once it transitions to 1.6/stable, no new features can be added/removed -- only bug fixes. See http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/versions/ if you care for more info. So I committed the ARM patch against the trunk and filed a CMR for 1.6. -- Jeff Squyres [email protected] For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
