Mirrors are at (available as they update): http://sources.redhat.com/mirrors.html RELEASE 2.0.0 ------------- (2005-03-16) General ------- This release represents an ABI change and the DLL version naming has incremented from 1 to 2, e.g. pthreadVC2.dll. Version 1.4.0 back-ports the new functionality included in this release. Please distribute DLLs built from that version with updates to applications built on pthreads-win32 version 1.x.x. The package naming has changed, replacing the snapshot date with the version number + descriptive information. E.g. this release is "pthreads-w32-2-0-0-release". Bugs fixed ---------- * pthread_setcancelstate() no longer checks for a pending async cancel event if the library is using alertable async cancel. See the README file (Prerequisites section) for info on adding alertable async cancellation. New features ------------ * pthread_once() now supports init_routine cancellability. New tests --------- * Aggressively test pthread_once() init_routine cancellability.
