It is my pleasure to announce the availability of OmniThreadLibrary 3.0 beta. The main focus of this release is on the 64-bit support. Every part of OmniThreadLibrary is now compatible with the Windows 64-bit platform!
The current status of the code is “It works on my machine”. That is not pretty encouraging and I would really like to see some external testing. If you are using OTL, please get the fresh copy from the SVN and check if your applications are still working. 64-bit bugs are not a big problem right now – they will be squashed before any 64-bit OTL code goes into production – but I’d really like not to break existing code. Thanks!
Congratulations! It was fun reading your "counting to 64" posts
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you deleted SpinLock with the last commit. Certainly my version complains about it missing, although that could have just been me being stupid with SVN. I copied in the file from 2.2 and it installs the package now.
ReplyDeleteYes, SpinLock is gone (not 64-bit compatible and critical sections are very fast on modern Windows anyway) and I haven't updated all packages yet. Will be fixed in the official release.
