Pavan, This is the first that I've heard of the 1.3.x branch - I don't even know how to do this for svn (I did know how to do it for cvs). Is this on the wiki? I looked at http://wiki.mcs.anl.gov/mpich2/index.php/Creating_a_Release , but that suggests that a release is created from the trunk and not updated after that (except for critical fixes in the release), which is why I've tried to get things into the trunk as soon as possible. Anyway, if you can tell me what svn commands to use and what fixes you'd like me to add, I'll be happy to do it. (I'll put in a plea to remember that it is also everyone's responsibility to keep the documentation, both on the release process and the design documents, up to date - that discipline will save a tremendous amount of time for everyone else.)

All,
There will very likely be a 1.3.2 release (and possibly more in the 1.3.x series) given that 1.4 has many planned features and is almost an year away.
So, whenever you commit any bug fixes to trunk, remember that it is your responsibility to merge them into the 1.3.x branch -- do not wait for someone else to do the merge for you. Features that change ABI compatibility (such as adding MPI-3 features) should not go into 1.3.x.
I see that some of the windows commits (r7442, r7443, r7444, r7445) have not been merged, which I'm assuming is intentional.
Bill: r7447 looks like a bug-fix. Can you merge it into the 1.3.x branch?
Dave: r7462 adds the qsort capability to Comm_split. Can you merge it into the 1.3.x branch?
Thanks,
