------------------------------------------------------------------------
The list of most significant changes made over time in
Intel(R) Threading Building Blocks (Intel(R) TBB).

Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 2017 Update 4):
- Added support for Microsoft* Visual Studio* 2017.
- Added graph/matmult example to demonstrate support for compute offload
to Intel(R) Graphics Technology in the flow graph API.
- The "compiler" build option now allows to specify a full path to the
compiler.
Changes affecting backward compatibility:
- Constructors for many classes, including graph nodes, concurrent
containers, thread-local containers, etc., are declared explicit and
cannot be used for implicit conversions anymore.
Bugs fixed:
- Added a workaround for bug 16657 in the GNU C Library (glibc)
affecting the debug version of tbb::mutex.
- Fixed a crash in pool_identify() called for an object allocated in
another thread.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 2017 Update 4
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 9104
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 2017 Update 3):
- Added support for C++11 move semantics in parallel_do.
- Added support for FreeBSD* 11.
Changes affecting backward compatibility:
- Minimal compiler versions required for support of C++11 move semantics
raised to GCC 4.5, VS 2012, and Intel(R) C++ Compiler 14.0.
Bugs fixed:
- The workaround for crashes in the library compiled with GCC 6
(-flifetime-dse=1) was extended to Windows*.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 2017 Update 3
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 9103
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 2017 Update 2):
- Added support for Android* 7.0 and Android* NDK r13, r13b.
Preview Features:
- Added template class gfx_factory to the flow graph API. It implements
the Factory concept for streaming_node to offload computations to
Intel(R) processor graphics.
Bugs fixed:
- Fixed a possible deadlock caused by missed wakeup signals in
task_arena::execute().
Open-source contributions integrated:
- A build fix for Linux* s390x platform by Jerry J.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 2017 Update 2
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 9102
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 2017 Update 1):
- Removed the long-outdated support for Xbox* consoles.
Bugs fixed:
- Fixed the issue with task_arena::execute() not being processed when
the calling thread cannot join the arena.
- Fixed dynamic memory allocation replacement failure on macOS* 10.12.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 2017 Update 1
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 9101
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 2017):
Bugs fixed:
- Fixed dynamic memory allocation replacement failures on Windows* 10
Anniversary Update.
- Fixed emplace() method of concurrent unordered containers to not
require a copy constructor.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 2017
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 9100
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.4 Update 5):
- static_partitioner class is now a fully supported feature.
- async_node class is now a fully supported feature.
- Improved dynamic memory allocation replacement on Windows* OS to skip
DLLs for which replacement cannot be done, instead of aborting.
- Intel TBB no longer performs dynamic memory allocation replacement
for Microsoft* Visual Studio* 2008.
- For 64-bit platforms, quadrupled the worst-case limit on the amount
of memory the Intel TBB allocator can handle.
- Added TBB_USE_GLIBCXX_VERSION macro to specify the version of GNU
libstdc++ when it cannot be properly recognized, e.g. when used
with Clang on Linux* OS. Inspired by a contribution from David A.
- Added graph/stereo example to demostrate tbb::flow::async_msg.
- Removed a few cases of excessive user data copying in the flow graph.
- Reworked split_node to eliminate unnecessary overheads.
- Added support for C++11 move semantics to the argument of
tbb::parallel_do_feeder::add() method.
- Added C++11 move constructor and assignment operator to
tbb::combinable template class.
- Added tbb::this_task_arena::max_concurrency() function and
max_concurrency() method of class task_arena returning the maximal
number of threads that can work inside an arena.
- Deprecated tbb::task_arena::current_thread_index() static method;
use tbb::this_task_arena::current_thread_index() function instead.
- All examples for commercial version of library moved online:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/product-code-samples. Examples are
available as a standalone package or as a part of Intel(R) Parallel
Studio XE or Intel(R) System Studio Online Samples packages.
Changes affecting backward compatibility:
- Renamed following methods and types in async_node class:
Old New
async_gateway_type => gateway_type
async_gateway() => gateway()
async_try_put() => try_put()
async_reserve() => reserve_wait()
async_commit() => release_wait()
- Internal layout of some flow graph nodes has changed; recompilation
is recommended for all binaries that use the flow graph.
Preview Features:
- Added template class streaming_node to the flow graph API. It allows
a flow graph to offload computations to other devices through
streaming or offloading APIs.
- Template class opencl_node reimplemented as a specialization of
streaming_node that works with OpenCL*.
- Added tbb::this_task_arena::isolate() function to isolate execution
of a group of tasks or an algorithm from other tasks submitted
to the scheduler.
Bugs fixed:
- Added a workaround for GCC bug #62258 in std::rethrow_exception()
to prevent possible problems in case of exception propagation.
- Fixed parallel_scan to provide correct result if the initial value
of an accumulator is not the operation identity value.
- Fixed a memory corruption in the memory allocator when it meets
internal limits.
- Fixed the memory allocator on 64-bit platforms to align memory
to 16 bytes by default for all allocations bigger than 8 bytes.
- As a workaround for crashes in the Intel TBB library compiled with
GCC 6, added -flifetime-dse=1 to compilation options on Linux* OS.
- Fixed a race in the flow graph implementation.
Open-source contributions integrated:
- Enabling use of C++11 'override' keyword by Raf Schietekat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Modified graph/fgbzip2 example to remove unnecessary data queuing.
Preview Features:
- Added a Python* module which is able to replace Python's thread pool
class with the implementation based on Intel TBB task scheduler.
Bugs fixed:
- Fixed the implementation of 64-bit tbb::atomic for IA-32 architecture
to work correctly with GCC 5.2 in C++11/14 mode.

communications between the flow graph and external asynchronous
activities.
- async_node modified to support use with C++03 compilers.
Bugs fixed:
- Fixed a bug in dynamic memory allocation replacement for Windows* OS.
- Fixed excessive memory consumption on Linux* OS caused by enabling
zero-copy realloc.

auto_partitioner.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 4.4 Update 3
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 9003
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.4 Update 2):
- Modified parallel_sort to not require a default constructor for values
and to use iter_swap() for value swapping.
- Added support for creating or initializing a task_arena instance that
is connected to the arena currently used by the thread.
- graph/binpack example modified to use multifunction_node.
- For performance analysis, use Intel(R) VTune(TM) Amplifier XE 2015
and higher; older versions are no longer supported.
- Improved support for compilation with disabled RTTI, by omitting its use
in auxiliary code, such as assertions. However some functionality,
particularly the flow graph, does not work if RTTI is disabled.
- The tachyon example for Android* can be built using Android Studio 1.5
and higher with experimental Gradle plugin 0.4.0.
Preview Features:
- Added class opencl_subbufer that allows using OpenCL* sub-buffer
objects with opencl_node.

TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 9002
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.4 Update 1):
- Improved interoperability with Intel(R) OpenMP RTL (libiomp) on Linux:
OpenMP affinity settings do not affect the default number of threads
used in the task scheduler. Intel(R) C++ Compiler 16.0 Update 1
or later is required.
- Added a new flow graph example with different implementations of the
Cholesky Factorization algorithm.
Preview Features:
- Added template class opencl_node to the flow graph API. It allows a
flow graph to offload computations to OpenCL* devices.
- Extended join_node to use type-specified message keys. It simplifies
the API of the node by obtaining message keys via functions
associated with the message type (instead of node ports).
- Added static_partitioner that minimizes overhead of parallel_for and
parallel_reduce for well-balanced workloads.
- Improved template class async_node in the flow graph API to support
user settable concurrency limits.
Bugs fixed:
- Fixed a possible crash in the GUI layer for library examples on Linux.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 4.4 Update 1
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 9001
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.4):
- Added support for Microsoft* Visual Studio* 2015.

functions for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and earlier versions.
- For GCC 4.7 and higher, the intrinsics-based platform isolation layer
uses __atomic_* built-ins instead of the legacy __sync_* ones.
This change is inspired by a contribution from Mathieu Malaterre.
- Improvements in task_arena:
Several application threads may join a task_arena and execute tasks
simultaneously. The amount of concurrency reserved for application
threads at task_arena construction can be set to any value between
0 and the arena concurrency limit.
- The fractal example was modified to demonstrate class task_arena
and moved to examples/task_arena/fractal.
Bugs fixed:
- Fixed a deadlock during destruction of task_scheduler_init objects
when one of destructors is set to wait for worker threads.
- Added a workaround for a possible crash on OS X* when dynamic memory
allocator replacement (libtbbmalloc_proxy) is used and memory is
released during application startup.
- Usage of mutable functors with task_group::run_and_wait() and
task_arena::enqueue() is disabled. An attempt to pass a functor
which operator()() is not const will produce compilation errors.
- Makefiles and environment scripts now properly recognize GCC 5.0 and
higher.
Open-source contributions integrated:
- Improved performance of parallel_for_each for inputs allowing random
access, by Raf Schietekat.

libstdc++, specify stdlib=libstdc++ in the make command line.
Preview Features:
- Added a new example, graph/fgbzip2, that shows usage of
tbb::flow::async_node.
- Modification to the low-level API for memory pools:
added a function for finding a memory pool by an object allocated
from that pool.
- tbb::memory_pool now does not request memory till the first allocation
from the pool.
Changes affecting backward compatibility:
- Internal layout of flow graph nodes has changed; recompilation is
recommended for all binaries that use the flow graph.
- Resetting a tbb::flow::source_node will immediately activate it,
unless it was created in inactive state.
Bugs fixed:
- Failure at creation of a memory pool will not cause process
termination anymore.

impact applications that expected a flow graph to make progress
without calling wait_for_all(), which is no longer guaranteed. See
the documentation for more details.
- Changed the return values of the scalable_allocation_mode() function.
Bugs fixed:
- Fixed a leak of parallel_reduce body objects when execution is
cancelled or an exception is thrown, as suggested by Darcy Harrison.

allow some concurrency to be reserved strictly for application
threads.

Intel TBB 4.1 Update 2
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 6102
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.1 Update 1):
- Objects up to 128 MB are now cached by the tbbmalloc. Previously
the threshold was 8MB. Objects larger than 128 MB are still
processed by direct OS calls.
- concurrent_unordered_multiset and concurrent_unordered_multimap
have been added, based on Microsoft* PPL prototype.
- Ability to value-initialize a tbb::atomic<T> variable on construction
in C++11, with const expressions properly supported.
Community Preview Features:
- Added a possibility to wait until all worker threads terminate.
This is necessary before calling fork() from an application.
Bugs fixed:
- Fixed data race in tbbmalloc that might lead to memory leaks
for large object allocations.
- Fixed task_arena::enqueue() to use task_group_context of target arena.
- Improved implementation of 64 bit atomics on ia32.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel TBB 4.1 Update 1
TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 6101
Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.1):
- concurrent_vector class now supports initialization/assignment
via C++11 initializer list feature (std::initializer_list<T>)
- Added implementation of the platform isolation layer based on
Intel compiler atomic built-ins; it is supposed to work on
any platform supported by compiler version 12.1 and newer.
- Using GetNativeSystemInfo() instead of GetSystemInfo() to support
more than 32 processors for 32-bit applications under WOW64.
- The following form of parallel_for:
parallel_for(first, last, [step,] f[, context]) now accepts an
optional partitioner parameter after the function f.
Backward-incompatible API changes:
- The library no longer injects tuple in to namespace std.
In previous releases, tuple was injected into namespace std by
flow_graph.h when std::tuple was not available. In this release,
flow_graph.h now uses tbb::flow::tuple. On platforms where
std::tuple is available, tbb::flow::tuple is typedef'ed to
std::tuple. On all other platforms, tbb::flow::tuple provides
a subset of the functionality defined by std::tuple. Users of
flow_graph.h may need to change their uses of std::tuple to
tbb::flow::tuple to ensure compatibility with non-C++11 compliant
compilers.
Bugs fixed:
- Fixed local observer to be able to override propagated CPU state and
to provide correct value of task_arena::current_slot() in callbacks.
