-Release 0.9:
-- more ports (SH, IA-64, s390)
-- many bug fixes
-- timed sync object wait functions
-- barrier implementation
-- spinlocks implementation
-- thread register on x86
-- variable stack size and position on some platforms
-
-Release 0.8:
-(ehmm, forgot to update, don't know anymore)
-
-Release 0.7:
-- Destructors for thread-specific data now conform to the POSIX semantics
- (call destructors again if non-NULL TSD remains after a round of
- destruction).
-- Implemented thread-specific data as a sparse array, allows more TSD keys
- and smaller thread descriptors (Ulrich Drepper).
-- Added "error checking" mutexes.
-- Protect against multiple sigwait() on the same signals.
-- Simplified implementation of semaphores when compare_and_swap is
- not available.
-- Fixed bug in fork() where stdin was closed if fork() was called before
- the first pthread_create().
-- Fixed bug in the gethostby*_r functions (bad result if null bytes
- in addresses).
-- Typos in manual pages corrected.
-- First cut at a PowerPC port (not working yet, runs into problems
- with gcc and with the C library).
-
-Release 0.6:
-- Validation of thread identifiers: no more crashes when operating on
- a thread that has exited (based on Pavel Krauz's ideas).
-- Added fallback implementation of semaphores for the 386 and the
- Sparc.
-- Fixed a bug in signal handling causing false restarts of suspended
- threads.
-- Fixed a bug in realtime scheduling causing all threads to have
- default scheduling on Ix86 with libc5.
-- With realtime scheduling, unlocking a mutex now restarts the
- highest priority thread waiting on the mutex, not the
- first-suspended thread (Richard Neitzel).
-- Timing a process now returns cumulative times for all threads, not
- just times for the initial thread (suggested by Wolfram Gloger).
-- Cleaned up name space (internal defs prefixed by __, weak aliases
- for non-portable extensions).
-- MIPS port (contributed by Ralf Baechle).
-
-Release 0.5:
-- Signal-safe semaphores a la POSIX 1003.1b added.
-- Locking bug in pthread_mutex_trylock over recursive mutexes fixed.
-- Race conditions in thread cancellation fixed.
-- Sparc port (contributed by Miguel de Icaza).
-- Support for getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r.
-- Added pthread_kill_other_threads_np to be used in conjunction with
- exec*().
-
-Release 0.4:
-- Manual pages for all functions.
-- Synchronization bug causing accumulation of zombie processes fixed.
-- Race condition in pthread_cond_timedwait fixed.
-- Recursive mutexes are back by popular demand.
-- Partial support for realtime scheduling (initiated by Richard Neitzel).
-- pthread.h cleaned up a lot: now C++ compatible, added missing "const"
- qualifiers, added short documentation, put to GNU libc standards
- for name space pollution (Ulrich Drepper).
-- Motorola 68k port (contributed by Andreas Schwab).
-- Interaction with fork(2) cleaned up a lot.
-
-Release 0.3:
-- Thread creation and reclaimation now performed by a centralized
- "thread manager" thread.
-- Removed recursive mutexes to make regular mutexes more efficient.
-- Now available as a shared library (contributed by Richard Henderson).
-- Alpha port (contributed by Richard Henderson).
-- Fixed many small discrepancies with Posix 1003.1c.
-- Put under the LGPL instead of the GPL.
-
-Release 0.2:
-- Reentrant libc functions (adapted from libc 5.3.9 by Peeter Joot)
-- pthread_cond_wait did not reacquire the mutex correctly on return
-- More efficient pthread_cond_broadcast
-
-Release 0.1:
-- First public release
