Changes for version 1.517 - 2014-10-23

  • BUG FIXES
    • Correction applied to MCE::Util::get_ncpu for Tru64 UNIX. This method will emit a warning (not croak) whenever the OS is unknown.
    • Changed ${^CHILD_ERROR_NATIVE} to $? in examples/pipe2.pl. This was missed in the previous release.
  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • Added support for DragonFly BSD, SCO OpenServer 5, SCO OpenServer 6 and SCO UnixWare 7 to MCE::Util::get_ncpu.
    • Also, validated MCE on FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, PC-BSD and JabirOS. No further changes needed to MCE::Util::get_ncpu.
