just::thread C++0x Thread Library V1.4 (FCD Edition) Released

I am pleased to announce that version 1.4 (the FCD edition) of just::thread, our C++0x Thread Library has just been released.

With the release of the "FCD edition", just::thread provides the first complete implementation of the multithreading facilities from the Final Committee Draft (FCD) of the C++0x standard.

Changes include:

New promise::set_value_at_thread_exit, promise::set_exception_at_thread_exit, and packaged_task::make_ready_at_thread_exit member functions to defer unblocking waiting threads until the notifying thread exits
New notify_all_at_thread_exit function for notifying condition variables when the notifying thread exits
The wait_for and wait_until member functions of future, shared_future and atomic_future return a future_status enum rather than bool to indicate whether the future is ready, the wait timed out, or the future contains a deferred async function
The destructor of the last future associated with an async function waits for that function to complete.
New ATOMIC_VAR_INIT macro for initializing atomic objects
The callable object for a packaged_task is destroyed with the packaged_task rather than being kept alive until the future is destroyed

Purchase your copy and get started with the C++0x thread library NOW.

As usual, existing customers are entitled to a free upgrade to V1.4.0 from all earlier versions.
