Subject: Re: [RELEASE] Userspace RCU 0.7.2

There goes 0.7.2, fixing an unforeseen library binary compatibility
issue between 0.6.x lib versions and 0.7.x (we did not intend to break
binary compatibility between those two).

2012-05-24 Userspace RCU 0.7.2
        * Fix library compatibility

Thanks for everyone reporting issues,

Mathieu
