 RELEASE 1.11.0
 -------------
-(in CVS)
+(2005-06-04)
 
 General
 -------
+Pthread_once has been re-implemented using the same MCS lock implementation
+as version 2.7.0. The size of pthread_once_t has not changed and the
+initialisation values in PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT have not changed. However,
+applications that peek inside pthread_once_t, which is meant to be opaque,
+will break. Versions 1 and 2 remain incompatible even though they are
+now identical in performance and functionality.
+
 This release is a back-port of the bug fixes and new features in release
 2.7.0. To date, version 1 releases remain fully functionally equivalent to
-version 2 releases, including all bug fixes and enhanced compliance. The
-difference is that the version 1 pthread_once routine may be significantly
-less efficient in some situations.
+version 2 releases, including all bug fixes and improved compliance.
