@section release-3-5-0_summary Release Summary
This release introduces a new data-parallel pipeline programming model,
solves the busy-waiting problem in our work-stealing scheduler,
and adds a new text-based feature for profiler report.
@section release-3-5-0_new_features New Features
@subsection release-3-5-0_taskflow_core Taskflow Core
+ Added tf::WorkerInterface to allow changing properties of workers upon their creations
+ Added tf::Executor::loop_until to allow looping a worker with a custom stop predicate
+ Added tf::DataPipeline to implement data-parallel algorithms
+ See @ref DataParallelPipeline
+ Extended tf::Executor to include tf::WorkerInterface
+ Improved parallel algorithms (e.g., tf::Taskflow::for_each) with tail optimization
+ Resolved the busy-waiting problem in our work-stealing algorithm ([#400](https://github.com/taskflow/taskflow/pull/440))
@subsection release-3-5-0_cudaflow cudaFlow
This release has no update on tf::cudaFlow.
@subsection release-3-5-0_utilities Utilities
+ Added tf::unroll to unroll loops using template techniques
+ Added tf::CachelineAligned to create a cacheline-aligned object
+ Replaced std::aligned_union (deprecated in C++23) with a custom byte type ([#445](https://github.com/taskflow/taskflow/issues/445))
@subsection release-3-5-0_profiler Taskflow Profiler (TFProf)
+ Added a new feature to generate a profile summary report
+ See @ref ProfilerDisplayProfileSummary
@section release-3-5-0_bug_fixes Bug Fixes
+ Fixed the compilation error in taking move-only types for tf::Taskflow::transform_reduce
+ Fixed the compilation error in the graph pipeline benchmark
+ Fixed the compilation error in unknown OS (replaced with @c TF_OS_UNKNOWN)
