paulb@147 | 1 | pprocess (0.4-0ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low |
paulb@136 | 2 | |
paulb@147 | 3 | * Added support for persistent/background processes. |
paul@153 | 4 | * Added a utility function to detect and return the number |
paul@153 | 5 | of processor cores available. |
paulb@139 | 6 | * Added missing documentation stylesheet. |
paul@153 | 7 | * Added support for Solaris using pipes instead of socket |
paul@153 | 8 | pairs, since the latter do not apparently work properly |
paul@153 | 9 | with poll on Solaris. |

paulb@131 | 15 | * Moved the reference material out of the module docstring |
paulb@131 | 16 | and into a separate document, converting it to XHTML in |
paulb@131 | 17 | the process. |
paulb@131 | 18 | * Fixed the project name in the setup script. |

paulb@123 | 22 | pprocess (0.3-0ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low |
paulb@102 | 23 | |
paulb@102 | 24 | * Added managed callables: wrappers around callables which |
paulb@102 | 25 | cause them to be automatically managed by the exchange |
paulb@102 | 26 | from which they were acquired. |
paulb@102 | 27 | * Added MakeParallel: a wrapper instantiated around a |
paulb@102 | 28 | normal function which sends the result of that function |
paulb@102 | 29 | over the supplied channel when invoked. |
paulb@122 | 30 | * Added MakeReusable: a wrapper like MakeParallel which |
paulb@122 | 31 | can be used in conjunction with the newly-added reuse |
paulb@122 | 32 | capability of the Exchange class in order to reuse |
paulb@122 | 33 | processes and channels. |
paulb@102 | 34 | * Added a Map class which attempts to emulate the built-in |
paulb@102 | 35 | map function, along with a pmap function using this |
paulb@102 | 36 | class. |
paulb@102 | 37 | * Added a Queue class which provides a simpler |
paulb@102 | 38 | iterator-style interface to data produced by created |
paulb@102 | 39 | processes. |
paulb@102 | 40 | * Added a create method to the Exchange class and an exit |
paulb@102 | 41 | convenience function to the module. |
paulb@102 | 42 | * Changed the Exchange implementation to not block when |
paulb@102 | 43 | attempting to start new processes beyond the process |
paulb@102 | 44 | limit: such requests are queued and performed as running |
paulb@102 | 45 | processes are completed. This permits programs using |
paulb@102 | 46 | the start method to proceed to consumption of results |
paulb@102 | 47 | more quickly. |
paulb@102 | 48 | * Extended and updated the examples. Added a tutorial. |
paulb@102 | 49 | * Added Ubuntu Feisty (7.04) package support. |

paulb@102 | 54 | |
paulb@102 | 55 | * Added a start method to the Exchange class for more |
paulb@102 | 56 | convenient creation of processes. |
paulb@102 | 57 | * Relicensed under the LGPL (version 3 or later) - this |
paulb@102 | 58 | also fixes the contradictory situation where the GPL was |
paulb@102 | 59 | stated in the pprocess module (which was not, in fact, |
paulb@102 | 60 | the intention) and the LGPL was stated in the |
paulb@102 | 61 | documentation. |

paulb@102 | 74 | * Added convenient message exchanges, offering methods |
paulb@102 | 75 | handling common situations at the cost of having to |
paulb@102 | 76 | define a subclass of Exchange. |
paulb@102 | 77 | * Added a simple example of performing a parallel |
paulb@102 | 78 | computation. |
paulb@102 | 79 | * Improved the PyGmy raytracer example to use the newly |
paulb@102 | 80 | added functionality. |

paulb@102 | 86 | * Changed the status testing in the Exchange class, |
paulb@102 | 87 | potentially fixing the premature closure of channels |
paulb@102 | 88 | before all data was read. |
paulb@102 | 89 | * Fixed the PyGmy raytracer example's process accounting |
paulb@102 | 90 | by relying on the possibly more reliable Exchange |
paulb@102 | 91 | behaviour, whilst also preventing erroneous creation of |
paulb@102 | 92 | "out of bounds" processes. |
paulb@102 | 93 | * Added a removed attribute on the Exchange to record |
paulb@102 | 94 | which channels were removed in the last call to the |
paulb@102 | 95 | ready method. |
