Changes for version 1.839 - 2019-07-07

  • NEW FEATURES
    • Added MCE::Mutex::Channel2 providing two locks using a single channel. The secondary lock is accessible by calling methods with the '2' suffix. E.g. primary mutex ->lock, ->unlock; secondary mutex ->lock2, ->unlock2
    • Added MCE::Channel providing queue-like and two-way communication supporting threads and processes.
    • Added MCE::Child and compatibility with Perl 5.8. MCE::Child is based on MCE::Hobo, but using MCE::Channel for data retrieval without involving a shared-manager process.
    • Added MCE::Channel examples { channel1.pl and channel2.pl } using threads and MCE::Child respectively. https://github.com/marioroy/mce-examples/tree/master/chameneos
  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • IPC update; removed unnecessary overhead including private methods _sysseek and _syswrite from MCE::Util (no longer needed).
    • Improved MCE->do, now callable by workers and the manager process.
    • Updated MCE::{ Flow, Grep, Loop, Map, Step, and Stream } documentation on passing an array reference versus a list for deeply input data.
    • Updated and re-organized the top-level MCE documentation, particularly improved clarity for the 'MCE Models' section.
    • Removed MANIFEST.SKIP.
