UMF 1.0.0

The Unified Memory Framework (UMF) is a library for constructing allocators and memory pools. It also contains broadly useful abstractions and utilities for memory management. UMF allows users to manage multiple memory pools characterized by different attributes, allowing certain allocation types to be isolated from others and allocated using different hardware resources as required.

While this is the first UMF release with the backward compatibility guarantee, part of the library's API (at the moment: CTL, memspace, memtarget, and mempolicy) is still experimental and may change in future releases.

Due to cleanup and improvements there have been some API changes made:

• add const qualifier to parameters, where applicable (#1257, #1266)
• unify return values (#1387, #1370)
• make pool get name an obligatory pool function (#1398)
• make out parameters the last functions' arguments (#1408)

This release contains also:

• new experimental CTL API (i.a. #913, #1073, #1206)
• add umfPoolGetName (#1320)
• use multiple arenas in Jemalloc pool (#1214)
• make umfInit thread-safe (#1399)
• add umfd debug library on Windows (#1219, #1238)
• deprecate UMF_DISABLE_HWLOC CMake build option (#1308)
• fix: numanode index retrieval (#1309)
• fix: reset base allocator destroy flag (#1326)
