A new release of MARS is now available.

Release v1.1.5
==============
Minor Update Release

Major Changes
-------------
* add host callback framework API test cases

Major Bugs
----------
* Fedora 12: inconsistencies between the kernel version and libnuma version
  may cause libnuma to fail resulting in MARS context creation error. This
  is not a MARS bug and needs to be fixed by the Linux distro maintainers.

---
MARS is a multi-tasking runtime system for multi-core processors.
The current implementation is for the Cell BE. The system is
co-processor centric, in that the co-processors each run a micro
kernel that generally runs independent of the host processor.
