  • allowed to copy and move construct ViewPlainPtr
  • added support for CUDA atomics using "unsigned long int"

  • renamed all files with *Stl suffix to *StdLib
  • renamed BOOST_ARCH_CUDA_DEVICE to BOOST_ARCH_PTX
  • executors have been renamed due to the upcoming standard C++ feature with a different meaning. All files within alpaka/exec/ have been moved to alpaka/kernel/ and the files and classes have been renamed from Exec* to TaskKernel*. This should not affect users of alpaka but will affect extensions.
