+Other changes
+-------------
+Certain POSIX macros have changed.
+
+These changes are intended to conform to the Single Unix Specification version 3,
+which states that, if set to 0 (zero) or not defined, then applications may use
+sysconf() to determine their values at runtime. Pthreads-win32 does not
+implement sysconf().
+
+The following macros are no longer undefined, but defined and set to -1
+(not implemented):
+
+ _POSIX_THREAD_ATTR_STACKADDR
+ _POSIX_THREAD_PRIO_INHERIT
+ _POSIX_THREAD_PRIO_PROTECT
+ _POSIX_THREAD_PROCESS_SHARED
+
+The following macros are defined and set to 200112L (implemented):
+
+ _POSIX_THREADS
+ _POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS
+ _POSIX_THREAD_ATTR_STACKSIZE
+ _POSIX_THREAD_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING
+ _POSIX_SEMAPHORES
+ _POSIX_READER_WRITER_LOCKS
+ _POSIX_SPIN_LOCKS
+ _POSIX_BARRIERS
+
+The following macros are defined and set to appropriate values:
+
+ _POSIX_THREAD_THREADS_MAX
+ _POSIX_SEM_VALUE_MAX
+ _POSIX_SEM_NSEMS_MAX
+ PTHREAD_DESTRUCTOR_ITERATIONS
+ PTHREAD_KEYS_MAX
+ PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
+ PTHREAD_THREADS_MAX
