Mirrors are at (available as they update): http://sources.redhat.com/mirrors.html RELEASE 2.2.0 ------------- (2005-04-04) General ------- * Added makefile targets to build static link versions of the library. Both MinGW and MSVC. Please note that this does not imply any change to the LGPL licensing, which still imposes specific conditions on distributing software that has been statically linked with this library. * There is a known bug in pthread_once(). Cancellation of the init_routine exposes a potential starvation (i.e. deadlock) problem if a waiting thread has a higher priority than the initting thread. This problem will be fixed in version 3.0.0 of the library. Bugs fixed ---------- * Fix integer overrun error in sem_timedwait(). sem_timedwait() is also used by pthread_cond_timedwait(). Kevin Lussier * Fix preprocessor directives for static linking. Dimitar Panayotov RELEASE 2.2.0 ------------- (2005-04-04) Backport of features and bug fixes from 2.2.0.
