Hi!

I would like to know why the Github repository has been changed from https://github.com/intel/tbb to https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneTBB.

Also, the check for v2020.0 does not match between the new URL and the old one. If it's a source code snapshot and follow the same tag, why does is it different?

From Github:

After unpacking these packages this looks like so now:

oneTBB-2019_U9 oneTBB-2020 oneTBB-2020_U1

This means that the middle version the oneTBB-2020 no longer has a '.0' version.


Thus,  not only the repository has been changed, but also the TBB version. Is there any reason for this?

I apologize for this not being addressed sooner. The changes between TBB and oneTBB are around a TBB revamp. Please see https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/tbb-revamp.html for details on the changes. The old repository was migrated to the new repository in order to maintain consistency between all parts of the Intel oneAPI implementation and to avoid having two separate TBB repositories.
