\label{chap:history}

\section{Changes from 4.0.2 to 4.5.0}
\begin{itemize}
\item Reorganized into chapters of major topics
\item Included file extensions in example labels to indicate source type
\item Applied the explicit \code{map(tofrom)} for scalar variables 
in a number of examples to comply with 
the change of the default behavior for scalar variables from 
\code{map(tofrom)} to \code{firstprivate} in the 4.5 specification
\item Added the following new examples:
\begin{itemize}
\item \code{linear} clause in loop constructs (\specref{sec:linear_in_loop})
\item task priority (\specref{sec:task_priority})
\item \code{taskloop} construct (\specref{sec:taskloop})
\item \plc{directive-name} modifier in multiple \code{if} clauses on
a combined construct (\specref{subsec:target_if})
\item unstructured data mapping (\specref{sec:target_enter_exit_data})
\item \code{link} clause for \code{declare}~\code{target} directive 
(\specref{subsec:declare_target_link})
\item asynchronous target execution with \code{nowait} clause (\specref{sec:async_target_exec_depend})
\item device memory routines and device pointers
(\specref{subsec:target_mem_and_device_ptrs})
\item doacross loop nest (\specref{sec:doacross})
\item locks with hints (\specref{sec:locks})
\item C/C++ array reduction (\specref{sec:reduction})
\item C++ reference types in data sharing clauses (\specref{sec:cpp_reference})
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}

\section{Changes from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2}

\begin{itemize}
\item Names of examples were changed from numbers to mnemonics
\item Added SIMD examples (\specref{sec:SIMD})
\item Applied miscellaneous fixes in several source codes
\item Added the revision history
\end{itemize}

\section{Changes from 4.0 to 4.0.1}

Added the following new examples:
\begin{itemize}
\item the \code{proc\_bind} clause (\specref{sec:affinity})
\item the \code{taskgroup} construct (\specref{sec:taskgroup})
\end{itemize}

\section{Changes from 3.1 to 4.0}

Beginning with OpenMP 4.0, examples were placed in a separate document
from the specification document.

Version 4.0 added the following new examples:
\begin{itemize}
\item task dependences (\specref{sec:task_depend})
\item \code{target} construct (\specref{sec:target})
\item \code{target} \code{data} construct (\specref{sec:target_data})
\item \code{target} \code{update} construct (\specref{sec:target_update})
\item \code{declare} \code{target} construct (\specref{sec:declare_target})
\item \code{teams} constructs (\specref{sec:teams})
\item asynchronous execution of a \code{target} region using tasks
 (\specref{subsec:async_target_with_tasks})
\item array sections in device constructs (\specref{sec:array_sections})
\item device runtime routines (\specref{sec:device})
\item Fortran ASSOCIATE construct (\specref{sec:associate})
\item cancellation constructs (\specref{sec:cancellation})
\end{itemize}
