Changes for version 0.04

  • Hopefully fixed problem in streaming caused by some stupid thread inertia problem. Problem was caused by the dispatcher assigning the jobid rather than the "job" method. Things could get out of sync before the dispatcher was reached.
  • Added "join" method to allow intermediate cleanup of removed worker threads. Fixed up "shutdown" to call "join".
  • Internally changed dispatcher system: there are now different dispatchers for streaming and random access mode.
  • Method "done" now only counts jobs by removed threads. Job counts are now kept in local thread space and only made shared when the worker thread is removed.
  • Gone back to not detaching threads. Detached threads cannot be waited for, which is a major PITA.
