While working to solve problems with PT and this blog, I made some improvements to MT-Dispatch since version 1.4. I’ve decided to produce version 1.5 with the new changes, while I wait for the cluster to finish my simulations. (Ancestral selection graphs are cool!)
Download version 1.5.—View documentation.
Changes in this Release
- If PERL_UNICODE is set, MT-Dispatch will decode all CGI parameters under the assumption that they are UTF-8 strings. The parameter ‘file’ is skipped because it is used for uploading binary data.
- After a worker is finished serving the CGI page, it will run any waiting periodic tasks. This allows one to use the background publishing queue without running the periodic daemon.
- The default maximum requests is now 100.
- If PERL_FCGI_LOG is not set, stderr will be used instead. (Suggested by Hirotaka Ogawa)
