Changes for version 0.20 - 2005-06-03
- This release introduces another major change in the architecture. The client side no longer requires threads, which should enable clients to run on Windows machines. The server side workers each run their run() method in a separate thread, communicating with the master when needed through thread-safe queues. Clients can request that a method be run on the server, for instance to get parameters without having their own copy of a configuration file.
