+
+Intel TBB 4.4 Update 4
+TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 9004
+
+Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.4 Update 3):
+
+- Removed a few cases of excessive user data copying in the flow graph.
+- Improved robustness of concurrent_bounded_queue::abort() in case of
+    simultaneous push and pop operations.
+
+Preview Features:
+
+- Added tbb::flow::async_msg, a special message type to support
+    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.
+- Fixed performance regression on Intel(R) Xeon Phi(tm) coprocessor with
+    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.
+- Class global_control supports the value of 1 for
+    max_allowed_parallelism.
+
+Bugs fixed:
+
+- Fixed a race causing "TBB Warning: setaffinity syscall failed" message.
+- Fixed a compilation issue on OS X* with Intel(R) C++ Compiler 15.0.
+- Fixed a bug in queuing_rw_mutex::downgrade() that could temporarily
+    block new readers.
+- Fixed speculative_spin_rw_mutex to stop using the lazy subscription
+    technique due to its known flaws.
+- Fixed memory leaks in the tool support code.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Intel TBB 4.4 Update 2
+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.
+- Intel TBB no longer performs dynamic replacement of memory allocation
+    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.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Intel TBB 4.4
+TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 9000
+
+Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.3 Update 6):
+
+- The following features are now fully supported:
+    tbb::flow::composite_node;
+    additional policies of tbb::flow::graph_node::reset().
+- Platform abstraction layer for Windows* OS updated to use compiler
+    intrinsics for most atomic operations.
+- The tbb/compat/thread header updated to automatically include
+    C++11 <thread> where available.
+- Fixes and refactoring in the task scheduler and class task_arena.
+- Added key_matching policy to tbb::flow::join_node, which removes
+    the restriction on the type that can be compared-against.
+- For tag_matching join_node, tag_value is redefined to be 64 bits
+    wide on all architectures.
+- Expanded the documentation for the flow graph with details about
+    node semantics and behavior.
+- Added dynamic replacement of C11 standard function aligned_alloc()
+    under Linux* OS.
+- Added C++11 move constructors and assignment operators to
+    tbb::enumerable_thread_specific container.
+- Added hashing support for tbb::tbb_thread::id.
+- On OS X*, binaries that depend on libstdc++ are not provided anymore.
+    In the makefiles, libc++ is now used by default; for building with
+    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.
+
+Open-source contributions integrated:
+
+- Supported building TBB with Clang on AArch64 with use of built-in
+    intrinsics by David A.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------

+
+- Supported zero-copy realloc for objects >1MB under Linux* via
+    mremap system call.
+- C++11 move-aware insert and emplace methods have been added to
+    concurrent_hash_map container.
+- install_name is set to @rpath/<library name> on OS X*.
+
+Preview Features:
+
+- Added template class async_node to the flow graph API. It allows a
+    flow graph to communicate with an external activity managed by
+    the user or another runtime.
+- Improved speed of flow::graph::reset() clearing graph edges.
+    rf_extract flag has been renamed rf_clear_edges.
+- extract() method of graph nodes now takes no arguments.
+
+Bugs fixed:
+
+- concurrent_unordered_{set,map} behaves correctly for degenerate
+    hashes.
+- Fixed a race condition in the memory allocator that may lead to
+    excessive memory consumption under high multithreading load.

+- Added class global_control for application-wide control of allowed
+    parallelism and thread stack size.
+- memory_pool_allocator now throws the std::bad_alloc exception on
+    allocation failure.
+- Exceptions thrown for by memory pool constructors changed from
+    std::bad_alloc to std::invalid_argument and std::runtime_error.
+
+Bugs fixed:
+
+- scalable_allocator now throws the std::bad_alloc exception on
+    allocation failure.
+- Fixed a race condition in the memory allocator that may lead to
+    excessive memory consumption under high multithreading load.
+- A new scheduler created right after destruction of the previous one
+    might be unable to modify the number of worker threads.
+
+Open-source contributions integrated:
+
+- (Added but not enabled) push_front() method of class tbb::task_list
+    by Raf Schietekat.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Intel TBB 4.3 Update 4
+TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 8004
+
+Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.3 Update 3):
+
+- Added a C++11 variadic constructor for enumerable_thread_specific.
+    The arguments from this constructor are used to construct
+    thread-local values.
+- Improved exception safety for enumerable_thread_specific.
+- Added documentation for tbb::flow::tagged_msg class and
+    tbb::flow::output_port function.
+- Fixed build errors for systems that do not support dynamic linking.
+- C++11 move-aware insert and emplace methods have been added to
+    concurrent unordered containers.
+
+Preview Features:
+
+- Interface-breaking change: typedefs changed for node predecessor and
+    successor lists, affecting copy_predecessors and copy_successors
+    methods.
+- Added template class composite_node to the flow graph API. It packages
+    a subgraph to represent it as a first-class flow graph node.
+- make_edge and remove_edge now accept multiport nodes as arguments,
+    automatically using the node port with index 0 for an edge.
+
+Open-source contributions integrated:
+
+- Draft code for enumerable_thread_specific constructor with multiple
+    arguments (see above) by Adrien Guinet.
+- Fix for GCC invocation on IBM* Blue Gene*
+    by Jeff Hammond and Raf Schietekat.
+- Extended testing with smart pointers for Clang & libc++
+    by Raf Schietekat.
