Atratus 0.5
Atratus runs binaries built on Linux binaries on WIndows. It consists of an ELF binary loader, a libc implementation, and a system call translator. It is currently in pre-alpha; however, fork() and exec(), which is difficult on Windows, is working for simple cases.
Release Notes: Various Linux console games are now working, including robotfindskitten, robots, hangman, and snake. vt100 support is vastly improved, and IPv4 socket support is in progress.

Concurrency Kit 0.2.14
Concurrency Kit provides a plethora of concurrency primitives and lock-less and lock-free data structures designed to aid in the design and implementation of high performance scalable concurrent systems. It was designed to minimize dependencies on operating system-specific interfaces, and most of the interface relies only on a strict subset of the standard library and more popular compiler extensions.
Release Notes: This release includes a bugfix to ck_bytelock.h and a bugfix to ck_queue.h. The ck_bytelock bug affects users who downgrade a write acquisition to a read-side acquisition. The ck_queue bug affects users who are using CK_LIST_INSERT_HEAD followed by CK_LIST_REMOVE to non-head elements. This execution sequence causes incorrect removal of nodes. This release also includes improved unit test coverage to x86-32.
