Changes for version 1.522 - 2014-12-25

  • BUG FIXES
    • Applied fix to MCE->shutdown so that MCE Models do not err when receiving signal to terminate.
    • Optimization for MCE->print, MCE->printf, MCE->say and MCE->sendto. This was calling fileno unnecessarily. MCE->print('STDERR', ...) is not supported. Do this instead; MCE->print(\*STDERR, ...)
  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • Inserts the actual lib-path at the head of @INC in example files.
    • Massive documentation updates throughout the entire distribution.
    • Renamed barrier_sync.pl to sync.pl; scaling_pings.pl to ping.pl.
    • Updated requires in META.yml, Makefile.PL and perl-MCE.spec.
    • Updated comment in MCE::Queue test scripts.
    • Updated the README file.
  • NEW FEATURES
    • Added sampledb examples demonstrating DBI and SQLite with MCE.
    • Added step_demo.pl to examples.
