The ABI should be stable since 1.3.2. OMPI 1.4.x does set the libtool version info; Versions where bumped to 0.0.1 for libmpi which has no effect for dynamic linking. Could you please elaborate on what needs to be addressed? Debian does not have 1.4.1 yet though I'm planning to upload it really soon. The ABI did not change (also not in an incompatible way, AFAICS). If you know of any issues, I'd be glad if you could tell us, so we can find a solution before any damage is done. Thanks in advance!
