I am pleased to announce that version 1.6 (the FDIS edition) of
just::thread, our C++0x Thread Library has just been released.

Changes include:

* Support for gcc 4.6 on Ubuntu Natty (using the packages from the
 Ubuntu Toolchain PPA) and Fedora 15.

* Support for thread-local variables with non-trivial constructors and
 destructors using the JSS_THREAD_LOCAL macro in place of the new
 thread_local keyword (which is not supported in any current
 compilers).

* The std::hash<std::thread::id> specialization has been added.

* The new constexpr and noexcept keywords are used where supported (gcc
 4.6 in -std=c++0x mode.)

* The return type of lambda functions is correctly deduced in std::async
 in both gcc 4.5 and 4.6 and MSVC 2010.

* Various optimizations, including reduction in thread creation code and
 the overhead of std::async.

* Added std::chrono::system_clock::from_time_t in place of
 std::chrono::system_clock::to_time_point.

Purchase your copy from http://www.stdthread.co.uk/order.html and get
started with the C++0x thread library NOW.

As usual, existing customers are entitled to a free upgrade to V1.6.0
from all earlier versions.
