+RELEASE 1.4.0
+-------------
+(2005-03-16)
+
+General
+-------
+
+Version 2.0.0 is being released and version 1.4.0 back-ports the
+functionality included in that release. In future, bug fixes
+will be back-ported if possible and where appropriate, however,
+this will be at the maintainer's descretion. New features will
+not generally be back-ported, although some may if they
+provide major improvements in compatibility with the standard.
+
+This is intended as a courtesy to application developers, but as
+time moves on, the imperative will fade.
+
+The package naming has changed, replacing the snapshot date with
+the version number + descriptive information. E.g. this
+release is "pthreads-w32-1-4-0-release".
+
+Bugs fixed
+----------
+
+* pthread_setcancelstate() no longer checks for a pending
+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
+---------
+
+* Agressively test pthread_once() init_routine cancellability.
