demo program: only depend on libdl

[lttng-ust.git] / ChangeLog

2011-06-12 ust 0.14
	* Rename trace_mark() API to ust_marker(). Old macros kept for
	  slow deprecation.
	* Tracepoint API is now private to UST.
	* Introduction of the TRACEPOINT_EVENT API (work in progress).
	  Please use ust_marker() API while we complete TRACEPOINT_EVENT.
	* Privatize many headers which should have always been internal
	  to UST. At the moment, only marker.h should be included by
	  applications. When the TRACEPOINT_EVENT API will be completed,
	  then other headers will be useful for the application
	  (tracepoint_event.h, tracepoint.h and, indirectly, probe.h).
	* Markers: merge fixes from LTTng 0.249 into marker.[ch].
	* Add ust/version.h header file, which exports the UST version
	  installed.
	* Move to liburcu 0.6. Update dependencies.
