-We are pleased to announce the availability of a new release of
-Pthreads4w (a.k.a. Pthreads-win32), an Open Source Software implementation of the
-Threads component of the SUSV3 Standard for Microsoft's
-Windows (x86 and x64). Some relevant functions from other sections
-of SUSV3 are also supported including semaphores and scheduling
-functions. See the Conformance section below for details.
+We are pleased to announce the availability of a new release of Pthreads4w
+(a.k.a. Pthreads-win32), an Open Source Software implementation of
+the Threads component of the SUSV3 Standard for Microsoft's Windows
+(x86 and x64). Some relevant functions from other sections of SUSV3 are
+also supported including semaphores and scheduling functions. See the
+Conformance section below for details.
 
 Some common non-portable functions are also implemented for
 additional compatibility, as are a few functions specific
 to pthreads4w for easier integration with Windows applications.
 
-Pthreads4w is free software, distributed under the GNU Lesser
-General Public License (LGPL).
+Pthreads4w is free software. Version 3.0.0 is distributed under the
+Apache License version 2.0 (APLv2). The APLv2 is compatible with the GPLv3
+and LGPLv3 licenses and therefore this code may continue to be legally
+included within GPLv3 and LGPLv3 projects.
 
-For those who want to try the most recent changes, the SourceForge Git repository
-is the one to use. The Sourceware CVS repository is synchronised much less often
-and may be abandoned altogether.
+All version 1 and 2 releases will remain LGPL but version 2.11 will be
+released under v3 of that license so that any modifications to pthreads4w
+version 3 code that we backport to v2 will not pollute that code.
 
-Release 2.9.1 was probably the last to provide pre-built libraries. The supported
-compilers are now all available free for personal use. The MSVS version should
-build out of the box using nmake. The GCC versions now make use of GNU autoconf
-to generate a configure script which in turn creates a custom config.h for the
-environment you use: MinGW or MinGW64, etc.
+Because this license compatibility is not reciprocal, future
+modifications to pthreads4w will only be accepted to version 3 (or
+later), i.e. the APLv2 code-base.

 Application Development Environments
 ------------------------------------
 
 See the README file for more information.
-
-MSVC:
-MSVC using SEH works. Distribute pthreadVSE.dll with your application.
-MSVC using C++ EH works. Distribute pthreadVCE.dll with your application.
-MSVC using C setjmp/longjmp works. Distribute pthreadVC.dll with your application.
-
-
-Mingw32:
-See the FAQ, Questions 6 and 10.
-
-Mingw using C++ EH works. Distribute pthreadGCE.dll with your application.
-Mingw using C setjmp/longjmp works. Distribute pthreadGC.dll with your application.
-
-
-Cygwin: (http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/)
-Developers using Cygwin do not need pthreads-win32 since it has POSIX threads
-support. Refer to its documentation for details and extent.
-
-
-UWIN:
-UWIN is a complete Unix-like environment for Windows from AT&T. Pthreads-win32
-doesn't currently support UWIN (and vice versa), but that may change in the
-future.
-
-Generally:
-For convenience, the following pre-built files are available on the FTP site
-(see Availability above):
-
-	pthread.h	- for POSIX threads
-	semaphore.h	- for POSIX semaphores
-	sched.h 	- for POSIX scheduling
-	pthreadVCE.dll	- built with MSVC++ compiler using C++ EH
-	pthreadVCE.lib
-	pthreadVC.dll	- built with MSVC compiler using C setjmp/longjmp
-	pthreadVC.lib
-	pthreadVSE.dll	- built with MSVC compiler using SEH
-	pthreadVSE.lib
-	pthreadGCE.dll	- built with Mingw32 G++ 2.95.2-1
-	pthreadGC.dll	- built with Mingw32 GCC 2.95.2-1 using setjmp/longjmp
-	libpthreadGCE.a - derived from pthreadGCE.dll
-	libpthreadGC.a	- derived from pthreadGC.dll
-	gcc.dll 	- needed if distributing applications that use
-			  pthreadGCE.dll (but see the FAQ Q 10 for the latest
-			  related information)
-
-These are the only files you need in order to build POSIX threads
-applications for Win32 using either MSVC or Mingw32.

BUGS

-3. The Borland Builder 5.5 version of the library produces memory read exceptions

-
-4. pthread_barrier_wait() can deadlock if the number of potential calling
-threads for a particular barrier is greater than the barrier count parameter
-given to pthread_barrier_init() for that barrier.
-
-This is due to the very lightweight implementation of pthread-win32 barriers.
-To cope with more than "count" possible waiters, barriers must effectively
-implement all the same safeguards as condition variables, making them much
-"heavier" than at present.
-
-The workaround is to ensure that no more than "count" threads attempt to wait
-at the barrier.
-
-5. Canceling a thread blocked on pthread_once appears not to work in the MSVC++
-version of the library "pthreadVCE.dll". The test case "once3.c" hangs. I have no
-clues on this at present. All other versions pass this test ok - pthreadsVC.dll,
-pthreadsVSE.dll, pthreadsGC.dll and pthreadsGCE.dll.

 General

-PTW32_* to __PTW32_*, etc.
