About:
GNU Portable Threads (Pth) is a very portable POSIX/ANSI-C based library for Unix platforms providing non-preemptive priority-based scheduling for multiple threads of execution ("multithreading") inside server applications. All threads run in the same address space, but each thread has its own individual program-counter, run-time stack, signal mask and errno variable. The scheduling is done in a cooperative way, i.e. the threads are dispatched based on priority and pending events. The event facility allows threads to wait until various types of events occur, including pending I/O on filedescriptors, elapsed timers, pending I/O on message ports, thread and process termination, and even customized callback functions.
Release focus: Minor bugfixes
Changes:
The build environment has been upgraded from GNU shtool 2.0.3 to 2.0.6 and from GNU libtool 1.5.20 to 1.5.22. This release lets AC_CHECK_PTH use "pth-config --libs --all" instead of just "pth-config --libs" to allow it to work under platforms like Solaris where additional libraries are required.
