#region Release History

// Smart Thread Pool
// 7 Aug 2004 - Initial release
//
// 14 Sep 2004 - Bug fixes 
//
// 15 Oct 2004 - Added new features
//		- Work items return result.
//		- Support waiting synchronization for multiple work items.
//		- Work items can be cancelled.
//		- Passage of the caller thread’s context to the thread in the pool.
//		- Minimal usage of WIN32 handles.
//		- Minor bug fixes.
//
// 26 Dec 2004 - Changes:
//		- Removed static constructors.
//      - Added finalizers.
//		- Changed Exceptions so they are serializable.
//		- Fixed the bug in one of the SmartThreadPool constructors.
//		- Changed the SmartThreadPool.WaitAll() so it will support any number of waiters. 
//        The SmartThreadPool.WaitAny() is still limited by the .NET Framework.
//		- Added PostExecute with options on which cases to call it.
//      - Added option to dispose of the state objects.
//      - Added a WaitForIdle() method that waits until the work items queue is empty.
//      - Added an STPStartInfo class for the initialization of the thread pool.
//      - Changed exception handling so if a work item throws an exception it 
//        is rethrown at GetResult(), rather then firing an UnhandledException event.
//        Note that PostExecute exception are always ignored.
//
// 25 Mar 2005 - Changes:
//		- Fixed lost of work items bug
//
// 3 Jul 2005: Changes.
//      - Fixed bug where Enqueue() throws an exception because PopWaiter() returned null, hardly reconstructed. 
//
// 16 Aug 2005: Changes.
//		- Fixed bug where the InUseThreads becomes negative when canceling work items. 
//
// 31 Jan 2006 - Changes:
//		- Added work items priority
//		- Removed support of chained delegates in callbacks and post executes (nobody really use this)
//		- Added work items groups
//		- Added work items groups idle event
//		- Changed SmartThreadPool.WaitAll() behavior so when it gets empty array
//		  it returns true rather then throwing an exception.
//		- Added option to start the STP and the WIG as suspended
//		- Exception behavior changed, the real exception is returned by an 
//		  inner exception
//		- Added option to keep the Http context of the caller thread. (Thanks to Steven T.)
//		- Added performance counters
//		- Added priority to the threads in the pool
//
// 13 Feb 2006 - Changes:
//		- Added a call to the dispose of the Performance Counter so
//		  their won't be a Performance Counter leak.
//		- Added exception catch in case the Performance Counters cannot 
//		  be created.
//
// 17 May 2008 - Changes:
//      - Changed the dispose behavior and removed the Finalizers.
//      - Enabled the change of the MaxThreads and MinThreads at run time.
//      - Enabled the change of the Concurrency of a IWorkItemsGroup at run 
//        time If the IWorkItemsGroup is a SmartThreadPool then the Concurrency 
//        refers to the MaxThreads. 
//      - Improved the cancel behavior.
//      - Added events for thread creation and termination. 
//      - Fixed the HttpContext context capture.
//      - Changed internal collections so they use generic collections
//      - Added IsIdle flag to the SmartThreadPool and IWorkItemsGroup
//      - Added support for WinCE
//      - Added support for Action<T> and Func<T>
//
// 07 April 2009 - Changes:
//      - Added support for Silverlight and Mono
//      - Added Join, Choice, and Pipe to SmartThreadPool.
//      - Added local performance counters (for Mono, Silverlight, and WindowsCE)
//      - Changed duration measures from DateTime.Now to Stopwatch.
//      - Queues changed from System.Collections.Queue to System.Collections.Generic.LinkedList<T>.
//
// 21 December 2009 - Changes:
//      - Added work item timeout (passive)
//
// 20 August 2012 - Changes:
//      - Added set name to threads
//      - Fixed the WorkItemsQueue.Dequeue. 
//        Replaced while (!Monitor.TryEnter(this)); with lock(this) { ... }
//      - Fixed SmartThreadPool.Pipe
//      - Added IsBackground option to threads
//      - Added ApartmentState to threads
//      - Fixed thread creation when queuing many work items at the same time.
//
// 24 August 2012 - Changes:
//      - Enabled cancel abort after cancel. See: http://smartthreadpool.codeplex.com/discussions/345937 by alecswan
//      - Added option to set MaxStackSize of threads
