This file contains the main features as well as overviews of specific
bug fixes (and other actions) for each version of Open MPI since
version 1.0.

.. error:: GP - move elsewhere and refer to software versioning here.

    As more fully described in the "Software Version Number" section in
    the README file, Open MPI typically releases two separate version
    series simultaneously.  Since these series have different goals and
    are semi-independent of each other, a single NEWS-worthy item may be
    introduced into different series at different times.  For example,
    feature F was introduced in the vA.B series at version vA.B.C, and was
    later introduced into the vX.Y series at vX.Y.Z.

    The first time feature F is released, the item will be listed in the
    vA.B.C section, denoted as:

       (** also to appear: X.Y.Z) -- indicating that this item is also
                                     likely to be included in future release
                                     version vX.Y.Z.

    When vX.Y.Z is later released, the same NEWS-worthy item will also be
    included in the vX.Y.Z section and be denoted as:

       (** also appeared: A.B.C)  -- indicating that this item was previously
                                     included in release version vA.B.C.
