Hello Everyone,

I’d like to announce the following tickets for voting at the MPI Forum in 
Albuquerque. They are separate tickets for the solutions that were discussed 
for safe string handling with MPI for Info strings for the readings in Zurich 
and Chicago.

Minor changes (if any) on the tickets since their last readings are included in 
a single commit, linked to at the bottom of each ticket. It is intended that 
Ticket #146 will be voted on first and if it passes, ticket #133 will be 
withdrawn (not voted on). There are minimal clarifying changes to the text that 
do not impact the behavior of the proposals in any way. These will require a 
no-no vote.

Ticket #146: https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-issues/issues/146 This solution 
uses a single function MPI_Info_get_string to both provide required buffer 
lengths and the value string itself.

Ticket #133: https://github.com/mpi-forum/mpi-issues/issues/133 This solution 
proposes two new functions for safely handling string MPI_Info_get_string and 
MPI_Info_get_buflen

Ticket #147: Deprecates the existing functions of MPI_Info_get and 
MPI_Info_get_valuelen that were unsafe in C

Best Regards,
Ryan
