+Intel TBB 4.4 Update 1
+TBB_INTERFACE_VERSION == 9001
+
+Changes (w.r.t. Intel TBB 4.4):
+
+- Added support for Microsoft* Visual Studio* 2015.
+- Intel TBB no longer performs dynamic replacement of memory allocation
+    functions for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and earlier versions.
+- For GCC 4.7 and higher, the intrinsics-based platform isolation layer
+    uses __atomic_* built-ins instead of the legacy __sync_* ones.
+    This change is inspired by a contribution from Mathieu Malaterre.
+- Improvements in task_arena:
+    Several application threads may join a task_arena and execute tasks
+    simultaneously. The amount of concurrency reserved for application
+    threads at task_arena construction can be set to any value between
+    0 and the arena concurrency limit.
+- The fractal example was modified to demonstrate class task_arena
+    and moved to examples/task_arena/fractal.
+
+Bugs fixed:
+
+- Fixed a deadlock during destruction of task_scheduler_init objects
+    when one of destructors is set to wait for worker threads.
+- Added a workaround for a possible crash on OS X* when dynamic memory
+    allocator replacement (libtbbmalloc_proxy) is used and memory is
+    released during application startup.
+- Usage of mutable functors with task_group::run_and_wait() and
+    task_arena::enqueue() is disabled. An attempt to pass a functor
+    which operator()() is not const will produce compilation errors.
+- Makefiles and environment scripts now properly recognize GCC 5.0 and
+    higher.
+
+Open-source contributions integrated:
+
+- Improved performance of parallel_for_each for inputs allowing random
+    access, by Raf Schietekat.
