The major focus of this release was to improve the reliability of large scale
runs. We believe to have achieved this goal as we now can reliably run __hpx__
runs. We believe this goal has been achieved as we now can reliably run __hpx__
applications on up to ~24k cores. We have also shown that HPX can be used with
success for symmetric runs (applications using both, host cores and Intel
Xeon/Phi coprocessors). This is a huge step forward in terms of
the usability of __hpx__. The main focus of this work involed isolating
the causes of the segmentation faults at start up and shut down. Many of
these issues were discovered to be the result of the suspention of threads

This release adds a first implementation of `hpx::vector` which is a distributed
data structure closely aligned to the functionality of `std::vector`. The
difference is that `hpx::vector` stores the data in partitions where the
partitions can be distributed over different localities. We started to work on
allowing to use the parallel algorithms with `hpx::vector`. At this point we have
partitions can be distributed over different localities. We started work on the
ability to use the parallel algorithms with `hpx::vector`. At this point we have
implemented only a few of the parallel algorithms to support distributed data
structures (like `hpx::vector`) for testing purposes (see [issue 1338] for
a documentation of our progress).
