-incremented from 1 to 2, e.g. pthreadVC2.dll.

-Version 1.4.0 back-ports the new functionality included in this
-release. Please distribute DLLs built from that version with updates

-async cancel event if the library is using alertable async
-cancel. See the README file (Prerequisites section) for info
-on adding alertable async cancelation.
-
-New features
-------------
-
-* pthread_once() now supports init_routine cancellability.
-
-New tests

+RELEASE 2.2.0
+-------------
+(2005-04-04)
+
+General
+-------
+
+* Added makefile targets to build static link versions of the library.
+Both MinGW and MSVC. Please note that this does not imply any change
+to the LGPL licensing, which still imposes psecific conditions on
+distributing software that has been statically linked with this library.
+
+* There is a known bug in pthread_once(). Cancellation of the init_routine
+exposes a potential starvation (i.e. deadlock) problem if a waiting thread
+has a higher priority than the initting thread. This problem will be fixed
+in version 3.0.0 of the library.
+
+Bugs fixed
+----------
+
+* Fix integer overrun error in sem_timedwait().
+Kevin Lussier
+
+* Fix preprocessor directives for static linking.
