-// General Information about an assembly is controlled through the following 
-// set of attributes. Change these attribute values to modify the information
-// associated with an assembly.
-//
-[assembly: AssemblyTitle("")]
-[assembly: AssemblyDescription("")]
-[assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")]
-[assembly: AssemblyCompany("")]
-[assembly: AssemblyProduct("")]
-[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("")]
-[assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")]
-[assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]

-[assembly: CLSCompliant(true)]

-//
-// Version information for an assembly consists of the following four values:
-//
-//      Major Version
-//      Minor Version 
-//      Build Number
-//      Revision
-//
-// You can specify all the values or you can default the Revision and Build Numbers 
-// by using the '*' as shown below:
-
-[assembly: AssemblyVersion("0.7.6.*")]
-
-//
-// In order to sign your assembly you must specify a key to use. Refer to the 
-// Microsoft .NET Framework documentation for more information on assembly signing.
-//
-// Use the attributes below to control which key is used for signing. 
-//
-// Notes: 
-//   (*) If no key is specified, the assembly is not signed.
-//   (*) KeyName refers to a key that has been installed in the Crypto Service
-//       Provider (CSP) on your machine. KeyFile refers to a file which contains
-//       a key.
-//   (*) If the KeyFile and the KeyName values are both specified, the 
-//       following processing occurs:
-//       (1) If the KeyName can be found in the CSP, that key is used.
-//       (2) If the KeyName does not exist and the KeyFile does exist, the key 
-//           in the KeyFile is installed into the CSP and used.
-//   (*) In order to create a KeyFile, you can use the sn.exe (Strong Name) utility.
-//       When specifying the KeyFile, the location of the KeyFile should be
-//       relative to the project output directory which is
-//       %Project Directory%\obj\<configuration>. For example, if your KeyFile is
-//       located in the project directory, you would specify the AssemblyKeyFile 
-//       attribute as [assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("..\\..\\mykey.snk")]
-//   (*) Delay Signing is an advanced option - see the Microsoft .NET Framework
-//       documentation for more information on this.

 // 14 Sep 2004 - Bug fixes 
+//
 // 15 Oct 2004 - Added new features
-//        - Work items return result.
-//        - Support waiting synchronization for multiple work items.
-//        - Work items can be cancelled.
-//        - Passage of the caller thread’s context to the thread in the pool.
-//        - Minimal usage of WIN32 handles.
-//        - Minor bug fixes.
+//              - Work items return result.

+//              - Removed static constructors.
 //      - Added finalizers.
-//        - Changed Exceptions so they are serializable.
-//        - Fixed the bug in one of the SmartThreadPool constructors.
-//        - Changed the SmartThreadPool.WaitAll() so it will support any number of waiters.

+//              - Fixed the bug in one of the SmartThreadPool constructors.
+//              - Changed the SmartThreadPool.WaitAll() so it will support any number of waiters. 
 //        The SmartThreadPool.WaitAny() is still limited by the .NET Framework.

+//              - Added PostExecute with options on which cases to call it.
 //      - Added option to dispose of the state objects.
 //      - Added a WaitForIdle() method that waits until the work items queue is empty.
 //      - Added an STPStartInfo class for the initialization of the thread pool.
 //      - Changed exception handling so if a work item throws an exception it 
 //        is rethrown at GetResult(), rather then firing an UnhandledException event.
 //        Note that PostExecute exception are always ignored.
