Threading developers have been active behind the scenes though not much has been visible. Real Life(TM) has been hard on us as a group however.

Marcel and Davidxu have both (individually) been looking at the support for debugging threaded programs. David has a set of patches that allow gdb to correctly handle KSE programs and patches are being considerred for libthr based processes. MArcell added a Thread ID to allow debugging code to unambiguously specify a thread to debug.

Dan Eischen continues to support people migrating to libpthreads and it seems to be going well.

Doug Rabson has done his usual miracle work and produced a set of preliminary pathces to implement TLS (Thread Local Storage) for the i386 platform.
