now that its released, hopefully it'll make F22 Alpha

I have downloaded this version on MacOS X and I have compiled the OpenMP runtime.
But when I use OpenMP, I'm stuck with a number of threads of one.
It doesn't change anything if I'm calling om_set_num_threads or setting the environment variable OMP_NUM_THREADS ?

Can you tell us if OpenMP works properly on Linux ?

The status page

https://github.com/clang-omp/clang/wiki/Status-of-supported-OpenMP-constructs

seems to indicate that the official release 3.6 has a LOT of holes in the OMP support, suggesting that it's basically there for the team to test. Various features are in place, but no guarantees that they will work together.

The GitHub version seems to be a lot more feature complete if you want to actually use OpenMP today.
The release notes indicate that complete OpenMP is hoped for 3.7
