Dear All, 

I am pleased to announce rtnptl-2.1 is out. 

Changes from 2.0
================
* Add --enable-robust-mutex support
* Fix a bug in pthread_mutex_init() to reinitialize a robust mutex.

Rtnpl-2.1 is based on the latest NPTL and the following Real-time
features have been added: 
   - Robust Mutexes
   - Priority Inheritance
   - Priority Protection
   - Robust Condvar

Currently it works on both x86 and ia64.

It is required FUSYN(Fast User SYNChronization) kernel:
http://developer.osdl.org/dev/robustmutexes/fusyn/.

The installation manual can be found at: 
http://developer.osdl.org/dev/robustmutexes/rtnptl/.

You'll need the latest glibc cvs sources.

All the rtnptl patches can be found at
http://developer.osdl.org/dev/robustmutexes/rtnptl/.

TODO
====
- Runtime switch normal mutexes and robust mutexes
- Make lowlevelrtlock.c generic


Good Luck !
