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.
