SmartThreadPool code comes from http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/7933/Smart-Thread-Pool
This version implements thread abort (via WorkItem.Cancel(true)), threadpool naming, max thread stack, etc. so we no longer need to manually patch those.
However, two changes have been made to stock 2.2.3.
Major change: WorkItem.Cancel(bool abortExecution) in our version does not succeed if the work item was in progress and thread abort was not specified.
This is to match previous behaviour where we handle co-operative termination via another mechanism rather than checking WorkItem.IsCanceled.
Minor change: Did not add STP's StopWatch implementation as this is only used WinCE and Silverlight and causes a build clash with System.Diagnostics.StopWatch
The reason for updating is to see if this improves http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=6557 and http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=6586
This is mostly Bluewall's work but I am also bumping the general version number
OpenSimulator 0.7.5 remains in the release candidate stage.
I'm doing this because master is significantly adding things that will not be in 0.7.5
This update should not cause issues with existing external binary DLLs because our DLLs do not have strong names
and so the exact version match requirement is not in force.
* Only initialize Util's SmartThreadPool if it is actually being used
* No longer initializing Util's SmartThreadPool with a custom max stack size. From MSDN: "Avoid using this constructor overload. The default stack size used by the Thread(ThreadStart) constructor overload is the recommended stack size for threads."
