Hi,

I am pleased to announce that version 1.3 of just::thread, our C++0x
Thread Library has just been released. With just::thread you can use the
multithreading facilities from the new C++0x standard with your existing
compiler.

This release is the first to feature support for the new std::async
function for starting asynchronous tasks. This provides a higher-level
interface for managing threads than is available with std::thread, and
allows your code to easily take advantage of the available hardware
concurrency without excessive oversubscription.

This is also the first release to support 64-bit Windows.

The linux port is available for 32-bit and 64-bit Ubuntu linux, and
takes full advantage of the C++0x support available from g++ 4.3 and g++
4.4. The Windows port is available for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 for
both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.
