  * harbour/include/hbstack.h
    % enable assembler inline function to access HVM thread stack pointer
      without native compiler TLS support even if HB_STACK_PRELOAD is not
      defined in MinGW builds. It gives some additional small speed
      improvement in MT mode

  * harbour/source/rtl/idle.c
    * unlock HVM inside hb_releaseCPU() function

  * harbour/contrib/hbwin/win_ole.c
    ! fixed casting and C++ compilation in some compilers

  * harbour/include/Makefile
  + harbour/contrib/examples/rdddbt/hbrdddbt.h
  - harbour/include/hbrdddbt.h
    ! moved hbrdddbt.h to correct location

  * harbour/include/Makefile
    ! added missinf hbthread.h

  * harbour/tests/rddtest/rddmktst.prg
  * harbour/tests/rddtest/adscl52.prg
  * harbour/tests/rddtest/adscl53.prg
  * harbour/tests/rddtest/ntxcl52.prg
  * harbour/tests/rddtest/ntxcl53.prg
  * harbour/tests/rddtest/cdxcl52.prg
  * harbour/tests/rddtest/rddtst.prg
  * harbour/tests/rddtest/cdxcl53.prg
    ! fixed description in header I wrongly copied without updating
      from other files

  + harbour/tests/hsxtest.prg
    + added test code for HiPer-SEEK indexes

  * harbour/source/rtl/filesys.c
    + added new functions: hb_fsExtName(), hb_fsReadAt(), hb_fsWriteAt(),
      hb_fsTruncAt() to use with shared file handles.
      Please test it in other *nixes. I used pread[64]()/pwrite[64]()
      POSIX functions but I do not know if they are available by default
      in other supported platforms like MacOSX, BSD, HPUX, SunOS.
      If not they I will have to implement some workaround.

  * harbour/common.mak
  * harbour/source/rtl/Makefile
  * harbour/include/hbapifs.h
  + harbour/source/rtl/filebuf.c
    + added set of new file functions (hb_file*()) which are designed to
      use with shared file handles and locks (buffers in the future):
      hb_fileExtOpen(), hb_fileCreateTemp(), hb_fileClose(), hb_fileLock(),
      hb_fileReadAt(), hb_fileWriteAt(), hb_fileTruncAt(), hb_fileSize(),
      hb_fileCommit(), hb_fileHandle()
      These functions operate on PHB_FILE structure instead of HB_FHANDLE.
      Now in POSIX systems they share file handle between aliased or
      simultaneously open by other thread work areas. It resolves the
      problem with releasing all process FCNTL locks by any close()
      operation even on duplicated or open() separately handle.
      Now DOS deny flags emulation works in single process even if
      BSD locks are disabled (non Linux *nixes).
      They also keep internal file lock list what allows to synchronize
      threads and aliases with file locks in POSIX systems. In the future
      it will be used also for internal locking to synchronize threads
      without OS level locks - pseudo exclusive mode in cloned WA.
      Finally these structures will be used also for file buffers
      which will be shared between aliased WA and threads.

  * harbour/include/hbrdddbf.h
  * harbour/include/hbrddcdx.h
  * harbour/include/hbrddntx.h
  * harbour/include/hbrdddel.h
  * harbour/include/hbrddsdf.h
  * harbour/source/rdd/dbf1.c

  * harbour/source/rdd/hsx/hsx.c
  * harbour/contrib/hbbmcdx/bmdbfcdx.c
  * harbour/contrib/hbbmcdx/hbbmcdx.h
    * use PHB_FILE and hb_file*() functions instead of HB_FHANDLE (hb_fs*())
      to access files.

  + harbour/tests/aliaslck.prg
    + added test code for file lock synchronization between aliased
      work areas
