## RTEMS 6.1 Release Notes

### RTEMS Improvements

In this section, we discuss public API level changes as well as improvements to
the implementation of those API routines.

Public API changes usually fall into one of the following categories:

* Addition of new methods

* Modifications to prototypes

* Deletion of obsoleted methods

Implementation improvements usually fall into one of the following categories:

* Algorithm improvements in execution time or memory usage

* Critical section reduction

### API Changes

* TBD

#### API Additions

* `RTEMS_ALIGN_UP()`

* `RTEMS_ALIGN_DOWN()`

* `rtems_task_config`

* `rtems_task_construct()`

* `RTEMS_TASK_STORAGE_SIZE`

* `RTEMS_TASK_STORAGE_ALIGNMENT`

#### API Implementation Improvements

* TBD

#### API Deprecations

* `rtems_iterate_over_all_threads()`.  Use `rtems_task_iterate()` instead.

* `rtems_get_current_processor()`.  Use `rtems_scheduler_get_processor()` instead.

* `rtems_get_processor_count()`.  Use `rtems_scheduler_get_processor_maximum()` instead.

* `boolean` is deprecated.  Use `bool` instead.

* `single_precision` is deprecated.  Use `float` instead.

* `double_precision` is deprecated.  Use `double` instead.

* `proc_ptr` is deprecated.  Use a proper function pointer type.

* rtems_context
