[BUG FIXES]
Die handlers (in MCE::Signal and MCE::Core::Worker) are finally 100%.
Furthermore, eval { die ... } statements behave correctly while running
MCE itself inside an eval block. Thus, MCE on iPerl on top of iPython
is possible via Devel::IPerl.Fixed queues stalling from running (MCE::Queue fast => 1) on Linux.
MCE models now set $MCE::FREEZE, $MCE::THAW, and $MCE::TMP_DIR when
overriding freeze, thaw, and tmp_dir respectively at load time.Pressing CTRL-D now ends STDIN the first time.
[ENHANCEMENTS]
Added seven names to CREDITS; David Farrell, Demian Riccardi,
Hisham Eldai, Joel Berger, Oleksandr Kharchenko, Wei Shen, and
Zakariyya Mughal.Refactored ->print, ->printf, and ->say. Optimized ->print some more.
Shorten $_queue to $_Q in Queue. ID is always sent first during IPC.
The init method in MCE models can now take an array of options.
Optimized memory consumption in Handle.pm, Iterator.pm, and Request.pm.
Optimized memory consumption for ->sendto, ->do, and ->gather.
Optimized memory consumption for overall IPC in general.
Refreshed the MCE->new method.
[NEW FEATURES]
Added a new module; MCE::Mutex providing simple semaphore.
Added ->relay_recv, ->relay, and ->relay_final methods to the Core API.
Refreshed cat.pl and findnull.pl examples to relay the number of lines
read. Workers output exclusively and orderly to STDOUT in cat.pl.Added several examples; biofasta (folder), mutex.pl, and relay.pl.
The FASTA examples process by records "\n>", not by lines.MCE applies additional logic when RS begins with a newline character;
e.g. RS => "\n>". It trims away characters after the newline and
prepends them to the next record. This happens automatically when not
slurping. Otherwise, the logic is applied to the first and last records
only. This is illustrated in the Core API documentation.Updated the Core API documentation (RS, added relay methods).
