Changes in tbb 2017:

• 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.
• Enabling use of C++11 'override' keyword by Raf Schietekat.
• 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.

Backwards-incompatible changes in tbb 2017:

• Renamed following methods and types in async_node class:
  • 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.

The other packages are rebuilds due to backwards incompatible changes in tbb.
