Linux-Event-Fork-0.006

Changes for version 0.006 - 2026-02-18

  • Timeout escalation: on timeout, send SIGTERM, then optionally escalate to SIGKILL after timeout_kill seconds if the child is still running.
  • Canonicalized timeout options: timeout and timeout_kill are the only supported keys (removed internal/accidental *_s variants).
  • Bounded parallelism and queueing: improved runtime configuration via $loop->fork_helper(max_children => ...); tests updated accordingly.
  • Public API introspection: standardized on running() / queued() / max_children().
  • Internal cleanup: tightened watcher/timer cancellation to prevent stalls or leaked timers when children exit or are detached.
  • Documentation: clarified execution model (callbacks run in parent; child runs exec/callback only) and expanded SYNOPSIS/options coverage.
