=============
OpenPA v1.0.3
=============
Major Changes:
* Libtool shared library support for OPA, avoiding shared/static mixed linking problems on some platforms.
* The build system should now work more portably with broken/exotic shells.
* pkg-config support
* Emulated atomics can now be detected by the presence of an OPA_EXPLICIT_EMULATION #define in opa_config.h.
* PPC types are now correctly aligned to 8 bytes instead of 16 bytes.
* many more tests for "make check", fixed missing memory barriers in one test

* update CHANGELOG, etc. for the upcoming 1.0.3 release
* add missing memory barriers to test_primitive.c's stack tests
