Hi,
This is a release announcement for the liburcu project. Those releases are bugfix only releases within each of the currently supported branches: 0.12.1, 0.11.2, 0.10.3, 0.9.7.
Note that the 0.9.7 and 0.10.3 releases mark the end of life of the stable-0.9 and stable-0.10 branches. Users should upgrade to 0.11.x or 0.12.x for an actively maintained liburcu.
* Noteworthy in these releases
One relevant fix included in all of those releases applies to tls-compat.h. It fixes use-cases where liburcu is compiled with a compiler detecting that _Thread_local should be used for TLS, but an application using tls-compat.h uses an older compiler which does not support _Thread_local.
The 0.10.3 and 0.11.2 releases include a fix for a hang when using the RCU lock-free hash table with the signal-based urcu flavor. (urcu-signal)
liburcu is a LGPLv2.1 userspace RCU (read-copy-update) library. This data synchronization library provides read-side access which scales linearly with the number of cores. It does so by allowing multiple copies of a given data structure to live at the same time, and by monitoring the data structure accesses to detect grace periods after which memory reclamation is possible.
liburcu-cds provides efficient data structures based on RCU and lock-free algorithms. Those structures include hash tables, queues, stacks, and doubly-linked lists.

Enjoy!
