River stage zero No dependents

Changes for version 6.14

  • Stopped using "Sys::Mmap" and switched to the more stable "File::Map" which is very thread friendly. No need to allocate a separate object for each thread now. One will do it for all just fine as the "threaded_slideshow.pl" example script shows.
  • Which brings us to a new example script "threaded_slideshow.pl". It is similar in how you run it as the single threaded "slideshow.pl", but it has the unique ability to divide the screen up by how many threads you request and dedicate a thread to that region and have a slide show managed by as many threads as requested. Quite interesting to watch. It doesn't have the "--full" switch as it doesn't apply for how it works.
  • "Makefile.PL" has undergone an overhaul. It has a friendlier output and no longer throws a weird licensing error.
  • The test scripts have been culled of all but the necessary, and the main test script given double buffering for 16 bit displays. This doesn't affect 32 bit displays.
