RELEASE 2.2.0
-------------
(2005-04-04)
General
-------
* Added makefile targets to build static link versions of the library.
Both MinGW and MSVC. Please note that this does not imply any change
to the LGPL licensing, which still imposes specific conditions on
distributing software that has been statically linked with this library.
* There is a known bug in pthread_once(). Cancellation of the init_routine
exposes a potential starvation (i.e. deadlock) problem if a waiting thread
has a higher priority than the initting thread. This problem will be fixed
in version 3.0.0 of the library.
Bugs fixed
----------
* Fix integer overrun error in sem_timedwait(). sem_timedwait() is also
used by pthread_cond_timedwait().
Kevin Lussier
* Fix preprocessor directives for static linking.
