differentiate release versions from beta versions etc. when
appropriate.]

RELEASE 2.0.0
-------------
(2005-03-16)
General
-------
This release represents an ABI change and the DLL version naming has
incremented from 1 to 2, e.g. pthreadVC2.dll.
Version 1.4.0 back-ports the new functionality included in this
release. Please distribute DLLs built from that version with updates
to applications built on pthreads-win32 version 1.x.x.
The package naming has changed, replacing the snapshot date with
the version number + descriptive information. E.g. this
release is "pthreads-w32-2-0-0-release".
Bugs fixed
----------
* pthread_setcancelstate() no longer checks for a pending
async cancel event if the library is using alertable async
cancel. See the README file (Prerequisites section) for info
on adding alertable async cancellation.
New features
------------
* pthread_once() now supports init_routine cancellability.
New tests
---------
* Aggressively test pthread_once() init_routine cancellability.
