History
Version 1.0 was introduced by Intel on August 29, 2006, the year after the introduction of Intel's first dual-core x86 processor, the Pentium D.
Version 1.1 was introduced on April 10, 2007. This version introduced auto_partitioner which offered an automatic alternative to specifying a grain size parameter to estimate the best granularity for particular tasks. This version was added to the Intel C++ Compiler 10.0 with the new Professional Edition later that year on June 5.
Version 2.0 was introduced on July 24, 2007. This version included the release of the source code and the creation of an open source project. The license used for open source is the same as the one previously used by the GNU Compiler Collection C++ standard library, a GPLv2 with a "runtime exception" (because of being template heavy code that usually becomes part of the executable after compilation). TBB is still available in a commercial version (without source code) with support but with no differences in functionality from the open source version.
Version 2.1 was introduced on July 22, 2008. Version 2.1 features included task-to-thread affinity, cancellation support, exception handling, and a portable thread wrapper. Version 2.2 features support for lambda functions in C++0x.
Version 3.0 was introduced on May 4, 2010. It has a number of improvements, see (http://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2010/05/04/tbb-30-new-today-version-of-intel-threading-building-blocks/)
Version 4.0 was introduced on September 8, 2011. It has several new features, see (http://threadingbuildingblocks.org/whatsnew.php)
Version 4.1 was introduced on September 5, 2012. It has improvements in TBB memory allocator, full support of parallel_deterministic_reduce template function and other updates, see (http://threadingbuildingblocks.org/uploads/77/188/4.1/CHANGES.txt)

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the black man’s right to his body, or woman’s right to her soul.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
