New features¶

• The transform_mpi sender adaptor has been simplified internally to reduce debug bloat. (#1433)

Breaking changes¶

• The set_error and set_stopped CPOs now use member functions instead of tag_invoke to better align with std::execution. (#1369, #1434)

Bugfixes¶

• Compilation with APEX and MPI enabled at the same time has been fixed. (#1424)

• Compilation with Boost 1.88 has been fixed. (#1428)

• Removed unnecessary -Wl,-z,-defs flags that were exposed to consumers of pika. (#1431)

0.33.0 (2025-04-02)¶

New features¶

• The signal handlers were refactored and documented. There is now only one environment variable to enable pika’s signal handlers (PIKA_INSTALL_SIGNAL_HANDLERS) and they are always available to enable at runtime. (#1411, #1412)

• async_rw_mutex has been significantly refactored to avoid locking and unnecessary yielding. Some use cases may see better performance. Move and copy semantics of senders from async_rw_mutex have also been fixed. (#1379)

• Further relax the requirements for constness on argc and argv passed to pika::init and pika::start. (#275)

Breaking changes¶

• If a process mask is set the pika runtime now uses the mask by default to restrict the number of threads. The command-line option --pika:use-process-mask which was previously used to enable this behaviour has been removed along with the corresponding configuration option. The process mask can be explicitly ignored with the command-line option --pika:ignore-process-mask or the configuration option pika.ignore_process_mask. (#242)

• Missing includes to transform_mpi.hpp have now been added. (#176)

• Remove unnecessary Boost dependencies when PIKA_WITH_GENERIC_CONTEXT_COROUTINES=ON. (#185)

• The segmentation fault in the shared priority queue scheduler has now been fixed. (#210)

0.3.0 (2022-04-06)¶

New features¶

• Using pika::mpi::experimental::transform_mpi in debug mode now checks that polling has been enabled. (#142)

• pika_main no longer requires non-const argc and argv. (#146)

Breaking changes¶

• pika::execution::experimental::ensure_started no longer sends const references to receivers, like pika::execution::experimental::split. It now sends values by rvalue reference. (#143)

• All serialization support has been removed. (#145, #150)

• pika::bind_front no longer unwraps std::reference_wrappers to match the behaviour of std::bind_front. (#140)

• Cleaned up various modules and moved minor functionality into detail namespaces. (#152, #153, #155, #158, #160)

• Move pika::execution::experimental::sync_wait to pika::this_thread::experimental::sync_wait to match the namespace of sync_wait in P2300. (#159)

Bugfixes¶

• pika::execution::experimental::make_future releases its operation state as soon as the wrapped sender has signaled completion. (#139)

• pika::cuda::experimental::then_with_stream now correctly checks for invocability of the given callable with lvalue references. (#144)

• pika::mpi::experimental::transform_mpi now stores the values sent from the predecessor in the operation state to ensure stable references. (#156)

• pika::cuda::experimental::then_with_stream now stores the values sent from the predecessor in the operation state to ensure stable references. (#162)

• Tasks scheduled with pika::execution::experimental::thread_pool_scheduler now use the annotation of the spawning task as a fallback if no explicit annotation has been given. (#173)

0.2.0 (2022-03-08)¶

New features¶

• Added a P2300 cuda_scheduler along with various helper functionalities. (#37, #128)

• Re-enabled support for APEX. (#104)

• Added P2300 scheduler queries. (#102)

• Added top-level API headers for CUDA, MPI, and added thread manager, resource partitioner functionality to pika/runtime.hpp header. (#117, #123)

• Added when_all_vector, a variant of when_all that works with vectors of senders. (#109, #132)

Breaking changes¶

• Bumped the minimum required compiler versions to GCC 9 and clang 9. (#70)

• Removed the filesystem compatibility layer based on Boost.Filesystem. std::filesystem support is now required from the standard library. (#70)

• Changed the default value of the configuration option pika.exception_verbosity to 1 (previously 2). Exceptions will now by default not print the pika configuration and environment variables. (#99)

• Yielding of pika threads is now disallowed with uncaught exceptions (with an assertion) to prevent hard-to-debug errors when thread stealing is enabled. (#112)

Bugfixes¶

• pika threads are now again rescheduled on the worker thread where they are suspended. (#110)

• Fixed a bug in the reference counting of the shared state in ensure_started and split that prevented it from being freed. (#111)

• Fixed deadlocks in stop_token. (#113)

0.1.0 (2022-01-31)¶

This is the first release of pika.
