|---|
| 8 | It should also work on any single threaded system. |

| 25 | Changes from prior releases (in revered chronological order): |
|---|
| 26 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | * Fixed bug in copy part of sarray_realloc. I had an < which should |
|---|
| 29 | have been <=. (Bug report from Scott). |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | * Support for DEC OSF/1 is definitely broken. My programs always |
|---|
| 34 | seg-fault when I link with libpthreads.a. |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | * Thread id's are no longer int's, but are instead of type |
|---|
| 37 | _objc_thread_t which is typedef'ed from a void *. An invalid thread |
|---|
| 38 | id is denoted by NULL and not -1 as before. |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | * Renamed thread-winnt.c to thread-win32.c to better reflect support |
|---|
| 43 | for the API on both Windows NT and Windows 95 platforms. |
|---|
| 44 | (Who knows, maybe even Win32s :-). |
|---|
| 45 | |
|---|
| 46 | * Fixed bugs in Win32 support as per report from Scott Christley. |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | * Fixed bug in sarray_get as per report from Scott Christley. |
