I am pleased to announce the release of V1.3 of just::thread for both Ubuntu Linux and Windows.
This release includes the following changes:
- Support for the new std::async function for launching asynchronous tasks with return values. This allows you to quickly and easily take advantage of the available hardware concurrency without excessive oversubscription.
- Support for the new std::atomic_future class template which allows a single reference to a shared future value to be updated from multiple threads.
- Support for 64-bit Windows has been added to the Portability Bundle
- The <cstdatomic> header has been renamed to <atomic>
- The std::unique_future class template has been renamed to std::future
- Plus various other small changes to bring the code into line with the current C++0x working draft
