Summary: GNU Pth - GNU Portable Threads.
Description:
Pth is a very portable POSIX/ANSI-C based library for Unix platforms
which provides non-preemptive priority-based scheduling for multiple
threads of execution ("multithreading") inside server applications.
All threads run in the same address space of the server application,
but each thread has it's own individual program-counter, run-time
stack, signal mask and errno variable.

Requires:

%CHANGELOG
* Mon Mar 26 2001 Ryan Weaver <ryanw falsehope com>

[pth-1.4.0-1]
- Added PTHREAD_PRIO_XXXX definitions to pthread.h for
  conformance to the POSIX/SUSv2 Pthread API.
- Implemented the pthread_{set,get}concurrency() API parts of
  POSIX/SUSv2, although internally we are (allowed to be) free to not
  do anything based on the requested level.
- Adjusted all pthread_attr_getXXXX() functions to use a "const
  pthread_attr_t *" as the first argument instead of "pthread_attr_t
  *" to fully-conform to POSIX/SUSv2.
- Added ENOSYS-stubs for pthread_attr_{set,get}guardsize()
  to the Pthread API to be more complete with POSIX/SUSv2 specs. 
- Added still missing soft system call mapping to Pth and Pthread
  APIs for functions recv(2), send(2), recvfrom(2) and sendto(2).
- Upgraded to GNU shtool 1.5.2
- Fixed an even-manager bug which causes a thread that calls
  pth_nap() to never woke up if the only elapsed event was a timer.
- Added `#define _BITS_SIGTHREAD_H' to pthread.h to avoid inclusion
  of bits/sigthread.h (from signal.h) on Linux running glibc6 2.2. 
- Added support to Makefile.in for DESTDIR variable. This allows
  easier rolling of installation tarballs (for instance from within 
  RPM or similar facilities) by using "make install DESTDIR=/tmp/pth".
- Implemented a pth_system(3) function which is a thread-aware
  clone of the POSIX system(2) function.
- Fixed typos in pth.pod: "fd" -> "s" for pth_connect/pth_accept.
- Make --disable-shared the default under Solaris-2.[78]/x86, because
  it is known to segfault sporadically if Pth is built as a DSO.  As
  traces showed, it is not a Pth problem, but it looks like a problem with
  the dynamic linker on Solaris/x86.  The same Solaris versions on SPARC
  don't have this problem.
- Updated copyright messages to cover new year 2001.
- Fixed quoting in configure.in
- Let pth_sleep(3) and pth_usleep(3) immediately return
  if an argument of zero is given.
- Fixed pthread.pod: the newer pod2man versions seems to dislike
  embedded comments, so I moved them to the top of the file.
- Changed CVS URL in HACKING document.
- Mention http://www.mail-archive.com/pth-users gnu org/ in pth.pod
  and SUPPORT document.

* Sun Jul 30 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw infohwy com>

[pth-1.3.7-1]
- Upgraded to GNU shtool 1.5.1. This fixes especially the
  compilation problems under Solaris which were caused by a too
  unportable `shtool version' command from 1.5.0.
- Fixed (unused) pth_time_mul() function: operator & replaced by %

* Tue Jul 04 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw infohwy com>

[pth-1.3.6-1]
- Upgraded to GNU Shtool 1.5.0
- Added OS/390 support to config.sub.
- Upgraded rse-pmt.ps paper to latest version as it was
  published on USENIX 2000.
- Upgraded to GNU libtool 1.3.5
- Allow for convinience reasons pth_usleep() to accept also
  arguments greater than 1000000.
