* upgrading of Linux kernel to 2.6.20 with enhancements for preemptive scheduling of SPE tasks, SPE logical affinity support, and improved performance via 64 KB Local Store page mapping.
* standardization on the new SPE Run-time Management Library (libspe2). The older and less functional libspe 1.x is being deprecated in this release.
* migration of example libraries and code to libspe2. A migration guide is provided to help move existing applications to libspe2.
* enhancements and improvements to the Accelerator Library and Framework (ALF), including additional examples that use ALF
* improvements and additions to SIMD math library
* addition of SIMD MASS and vector MASS libraries for SPE
* addition of example benchmarking code to measure and report on the performance of a representative set of DMA operations
* addition of GNU GCC, XL C/C++ compiler, and Full-System Simulator support for an enhanced CBEA-compliant processor with a fully-pipelined, double-precision SPE
* addition of a sample DMA channel profiling tool
* support for cycle count-profiling of code running on the SPE using OProfile
* addition of the Cell Performance Counter utility, which can be used to monitor and count cell performance events
* improved PPE model in the Full-System Simulator for better performance correlation across the Cell Broadband Engine
* improved integration between Full-System Simulator and Eclipse IDE for Cell Broadband Engine
* addition of Linux man pages for some libraries and tools
* upgrading of XL C/C++ compiler version to 0.8.2
* upgrading of binutils version to 2.18 prerelease
