MCE 1.867

on Perl CPAN

Bug fix for UTF-8 issues during inter-process communication.
This update required undoing optimizations specific to scalar args.
Essentially, IPC involves serialization for everything going forward.
Install Sereal::Encoder and Sereal::Decoder for better performance
in Perl 5.8.8+.

MCE options flush_stdout, flush_stderr, and flush_file now default to
enabled for the MCE->print, MCE->printf, and MCE->say output routines.

Improved MCE::Child with threads-like detach capability. See POD.

Improved IPC in MCE::Queue with permanent fast-like dequeue including
dequeue_nb. Going forward, the fast and barrier options are silently
ignored if specified (i.e. no-op).

Improved IPC performance on Linux.
