#. It is now possible to register a thread with the MPS multiple times
on OS X, thus supporting the use case where a program that does not
use the MPS is calling into MPS-using code from multiple threads.
(This was already supported on other platforms.) See job003559_.

#. When the MPS collects a set of :term:`generations`, it
:term:`condemns` only the :term:`blocks` in those generations.
Previously, it also condemned blocks that happened to share a
region of memory with blocks currently or formerly allocated in
those generations. See job004000_.
