<div class="textblock"><p>BREAKING: Removed the use of the compatibility library to automatically generate macros and workaround for older compilers. The important compatibility workarounds like the <code>__builtin_clz</code> extension are still used, but workarounds for missing C++11 library features have been removed. In particular, the library now requires compiler support for <code>noexcept</code>, <code>constexpr</code>, <code>alignof</code> and <code>thread_local</code>. This means that GCC 4.8 and Visual Studio version 12.0 (both released in 2013), are now longer supported.</p>

Adapter</h1>
<p>BREAKING: Remove <code>Mutex</code> support from <code>allocator_reference</code> and consequently from <code>std_allocator</code>, <code>allocator_deleter</code>, ... Embedding the <code>Mutex</code> with the reference was <em>fundamentally</em> broken and unusable to ensure thread safety. Use a reference to a <code>thread_safe_allocator</code> instead, which actually guarantees thread safety.</p>
