- New upstream release 1.868
- Bug fix for UTF-8 issues during inter-process communication:
- This update required undoing optimizations specific to scalar args
- Essentially, IPC involves serialization for everything going forward
- Install Sereal::Encoder and Sereal::Decoder for better performance in
Perl 5.8.8+
- MCE options flush_stdout, flush_stderr, and flush_file now default to
enabled for the MCE->print, MCE->printf, and MCE->say output routines
- Improved MCE::Child with threads-like detach capability (see POD)
- Improved IPC in MCE::Queue with permanent fast-like dequeue including
dequeue_nb; going forward, the fast and barrier options are silently
ignored if specified (i.e. no-op)
- Improved IPC performance on Linux
- Completed threads-like detach capability in MCE::Child
- Resolved MCE::Channel failing when calling dequeue multiple times on an
ended channel
- MCE->say, MCE->print, and MCE->printf now return 1
