Changes for version 0.25

  • Bug fixes *****
  • Updated internal PID tracking to U32 size for increased portability across different kernels and kernel configurations. This corrects irregular issues with locks on such systems.
  • Rewrote signal handling engine to be more portable and stable. Changes eliminated behavior on BSD kernels that would cause processes to improperly exit with an ABRT-triggered core dump.
  • Miscellaneous changes *****
  • Added some protections in test suite for non-mixed fork/thread safe Test::More module.
  • Added tests for new signal handling engine.
