Mirrors are at: http://sources.redhat.com/mirrors.html (available as they update) RELEASE 2.6.0 ------------- (2005-05-19) General ------- All of the bug fixes and new features in this release have been back-ported in release 1.10.0. To date, version 1 releases remain fully functionally equivalent to version 2 releases, including all bug fixes and enhanced compliance. The difference is that the version 1 pthread_once routine may be significantly less efficient in some situations. Testing and verification ------------------------ This release has been tested (passed the test suite) on both uni-processor and multi-processor systems. Thanks to Tim Theisen at TomoTherapy for exhaustively running the MP tests and for providing crutial observations and data when faults are detected. Bugs fixed ---------- * pthread_detach() now reclaims remaining thread resources if called after the target thread has terminated. Previously, this routine did nothing in this case. New tests --------- * detach1.c - tests that pthread_detach properly invalidates the target thread, which indicates that the thread resources have been reclaimed. Ross
