- 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
- Improved MCE::Hobo with threads-like detach capability (see POD)
- Resolved MCE::Hobo stalling MCE::Shared::Server during global clean-up
- Improved IPC in MCE::Shared::Queue with permanent fast-like dequeue
including dequeue_nb; going forward, the fast and barrier options are
