parallel-pprocess (0.4.1-0ubuntu1) hoary; urgency=low

  * Fixed the get_number_of_cores function to work with

    /proc/cpuinfo where the "physical id" field is missing.

  * Changed the Map class to permit incremental access to

    received results from completed parts of the sequence of

    inputs, also adding an iteration interface.

  * Added an example, simple_pmap_iter.py, to demonstrate

    iteration over maps.

parallel-pprocess (0.4-0ubuntu1) hoary; urgency=low

  * Added support for persistent/background processes.

  * Added a utility function to detect and return the number

    of processor cores available.

  * Added missing documentation stylesheet.

  * Added support for Solaris using pipes instead of socket

    pairs, since the latter do not apparently work properly

    with poll on Solaris.

parallel-pprocess (0.3.1-0ubuntu1) hoary; urgency=low

  * Moved the reference material out of the module docstring

    and into a separate document, converting it to XHTML in

    the process.

  * Fixed the project name in the setup script.

parallel-pprocess (0.3-0ubuntu1) hoary; urgency=low

  * Added managed callables: wrappers around callables which

    cause them to be automatically managed by the exchange

    from which they were acquired.

  * Added MakeParallel: a wrapper instantiated around a

    normal function which sends the result of that function

    over the supplied channel when invoked.

  * Added MakeReusable: a wrapper like MakeParallel which

    can be used in conjunction with the newly-added reuse

    capability of the Exchange class in order to reuse

    processes and channels.

  * Added a Map class which attempts to emulate the built-in

    map function, along with a pmap function using this

    class.

  * Added a Queue class which provides a simpler

    iterator-style interface to data produced by created

    processes.

  * Added a create method to the Exchange class and an exit

    convenience function to the module.

  * Changed the Exchange implementation to not block when

    attempting to start new processes beyond the process

    limit: such requests are queued and performed as running

    processes are completed. This permits programs using

    the start method to proceed to consumption of results

    more quickly.

  * Extended and updated the examples. Added a tutorial.

  * Added Ubuntu Feisty (7.04) package support.

parallel-pprocess (0.2.5-0ubuntu1) hoary; urgency=low

  * Added a start method to the Exchange class for more

    convenient creation of processes.

  * Relicensed under the LGPL (version 3 or later) - this

    also fixes the contradictory situation where the GPL was

    stated in the pprocess module (which was not, in fact,

    the intention) and the LGPL was stated in the

    documentation.

parallel-pprocess (0.2.4-0ubuntu1) hoary; urgency=low

  * Set buffer sizes to zero for the file object wrappers

    around sockets: this may prevent deadlock issues.

parallel-pprocess (0.2.3-0ubuntu1) hoary; urgency=low

  * Added convenient message exchanges, offering methods

    handling common situations at the cost of having to

    define a subclass of Exchange.

  * Added a simple example of performing a parallel

    computation.

  * Improved the PyGmy raytracer example to use the newly

    added functionality.

parallel-pprocess (0.2.2-0ubuntu1) hoary; urgency=low

  * Changed the status testing in the Exchange class,

    potentially fixing the premature closure of channels

    before all data was read.

  * Fixed the PyGmy raytracer example's process accounting

    by relying on the possibly more reliable Exchange

    behaviour, whilst also preventing erroneous creation of

    "out of bounds" processes.

  * Added a removed attribute on the Exchange to record

    which channels were removed in the last call to the

    ready method.

parallel-pprocess (0.2.1-0ubuntu1) hoary; urgency=low

  * Added a PyGmy raytracer example.

  * Updated copyright and licensing details (FSF address,

    additional works).

parallel-pprocess (0.2-0ubuntu1) hoary; urgency=low

  * Changed the parallel module to pprocess.

parallel-module (0.1-0ubuntu1) hoary; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
