90 2011-07-21 Userspace RCU 0.6.4
91 * uatomic: Fix ARM build errors in uatomic.
92 * urcu tests: hold mutex across use of custom allocator.
93 * Portability fixes to support FreeBSD 8.2.
94
95 2011-06-27 Userspace RCU 0.6.3
96 * uatomic: Fix i386 compatibility build errors in uatomic.
97
98 2011-06-13 Userspace RCU 0.6.2
99 * Fix build on powerpc.
100
101 2011-06-13 Userspace RCU 0.6.1
102 * Add missing headers into release tarball:
103 urcu-call-rcu-impl.h and urcu-defer-impl.h
104
105 2011-06-10 Userspace RCU 0.6.0
106 * Added call_rcu() support, graciously contributed by Paul E. McKenney.
107 * Added urcu/cds.h and merged all "Concurrent Data Containers" (CDS)
108 into a single .so: liburcu-cds.so to have a single header/shared
109 object holding all concurrency-aware data containers. It provides
110 support for RCU lists, queues and stacks at the moment.
111 * liburcu 0.6.0 now allows linking a single application with multiple
112 flavors of RCU. This required a library API change which is
113 incompatible with older 0.5.x liburcu. The .so version number
114 is therefore bumped from 0 to 1 (e.g. liburcu.so.1).
115 * Added "atfork" handling API, documented in README. Only useful for
116 processes using fork() without following exec().
117 * Renaming the following files, keeping the old files (producing a
118 compiler warning):
119 urcu/uatomic_arch.h -> urcu/uatomic.h
120 urcu/urcu-futex.h -> urcu/futex.h
121 urcu/urcu_ref.h -> urcu/ref.h
122
123 2011-03-04 Userspace RCU 0.5.4
124 * urcu-bp: Update fork() handling
125
126 Introduce
127
128 extern void rcu_bp_before_fork(void);
129 extern void rcu_bp_after_fork_parent(void);
130 extern void rcu_bp_after_fork_child(void);
131
132 to handle fork gracefully. These disable signals and hold
133 the registry mutex across forks. (this flavor of the liburcu
134 library ("bp" for "bulletproof") is mainly used by UST, the
135 user-space tracer).
136
137 2011-03-03 Userspace RCU 0.5.3
138 * Add support for older ARM single-CPU architecturess (pre-ARMv7)
139 (thanks to Jason Wessel from WindRiver).
140 * Fix ARMv7 cmm_rmb/cmm_wmb primitives (use a dmb barrier).
141 * Remove leftover list_t type from urcu/list.h (namespace cleanup).
142 * urcu_defer: handle malloc error value.
143 * Update README file to describe urcu interaction with fork() when not
144 * followed
145 by an exec() system call.
146
147 2010-11-18 Userspace RCU 0.5.2
148 * Fix renaming error introduced in 0.5.0.
149
150 2010-11-18 Userspace RCU 0.5.1
151 * Fix renaming error introduced in 0.5.0. (incomplete fix)
152
153 2010-11-18 Userspace RCU 0.5.0
154 * Version 0.5.0 changes the API presented by memory model,
155 architecture abstraction and data structure primitives in
156 headers. The prefixes are, respectively:
157 - cmm_ : Concurrent Memory Model
158 - caa_ : Concurrent Architecture Abstraction
159 - cds_ : Concurrent Data Structures
160
161 2010-03-04 Userspace RCU 0.4.2
162 * Add generic uatomic ops support.
163 * Bugfix in urcu-bp. (rare garbage collection bug occurring in
164 multithreaded environment). Only affects urcu-bp users (UST).
165
166 2010-02-12 Userspace RCU 0.4.1
167 * s390: compilation fix.
168
169 2010-01-30 Userspace RCU 0.4.0
170 * API change: SIGURCU -> SIGRCU
171 * API changes: standardize on rcu_ prefix.
172 * API change: urcu_init -> rcu_init.
173 * urcu/config.h options renamed to CONFIG_RCU_HAVE_FENCE,
174 CONFIG_RCU_HAVE_FUTEX, CONFIG_RCU_SMP, CONFIG_RCU_COMPAT_ARCH.
175 ((moving from URCU -> RCU).
176 * library names changes: liburcu becomes the "default" version, using
177 sys_membarrier() when available, and using liburcu-mb as a
178 fallback.
179 * The signal-based liburcu is renamed from liburcu to
180 liburcu-signal. People previously using the signal-based
181 "liburcu" will automatically be moved to the "default" liburcu
182 version.
183
184 2009-11-16 Userspace RCU 0.3.1
185 * Add support for sparcv9 32-bit build.
186 * Update build system to use --host instead of --target.
187
188 2009-11-03 Userspace RCU 0.3.0
189 * API change for the "deferred work" interface.
190
191 2009-10-14 Userspace RCU 0.2.3
192 * Move to autotools.
193 * Automated architecture detection, with i386 fallback.
194 * Detect if NR_futex is on the system, fallback on portable
195 alternatives.
196 * Add configure mode for UP-only systems.
197
198 2009-10-02 Userspace RCU 0.2.2
199 * Phases out rcu_publish_content() api.
200 * Adds type checking to urcu-pointer.h pointer exchange primitives.
201
202 2009-10-02 Userspace RCU 0.2.1
203 * small header dependency fix for rculist.h.
204 * new "liburcu-bp.so" : "Bulletproof RCU", made especially for
205 the UST userspace tracer. It's a library that sacrifices a bit
206 of read-side performance for automatically monitoring thread
207 creation/removal. See README for details.
208
209 2009-10-01 Userspace RCU 0.2
210 * Clarify usage of rcu_cmpxchg_pointer, rcu_xchg_pointer,
211 rcu_set_pointer.
212
213 2009-09-29 Userspace RCU 0.1
214 * Initial release.
