== History ==
NPTL first was first released in [[Red Hat]] 9.0. Old-style POSIX threading is known for having trouble with threads that refuse to yield to the system occasionally because it does not take the opportunity to preemptively yield them when it arises, something that Windows was known to do better at the time. Red Hat claimed that NPTL fixed this problem in an article on the [[Java programming language|Java]] website about Java on Red Hat 9.
NPTL has been part of [[Red Hat Enterprise Linux]] since version 3, and is now a fully integrated part of [[glibc]].
