- thanks to Alberto Ornaghi:
- parameter
dec_mp_reset_signals - restores the default behavior of signal handlers on multiprocessing
fork - suitible especially for
FastAPIandUvicorn
- 2024-01-10:
- thanks to fayak:

- explicitly export methods in
__init__.py

2022-06-01: update to github actions checkout@v3 and setup-python@v3
2022-05-23: update requirements.txt
- 2022-05-23:
- set dill version < 0.3.5 on windows, because decorating class methods fails with dill 0.3.5 upwards
- update tests to the latest python versions
2022-04-26: add tests for thread lock
2022-04-26: preserve Signature of the decorator
2022-03-29: remedy mypy Untyped decorator makes function "cli_info" untyped
2022-03-28: extend time on test_timeout_decorator_arg - github macos seems to be slow, so sometimes that test fails
2022-03-25: fix github actions windows test
2022-03-23: extend time on test_timeout_ok_timeout_as_kwarg - github macos seems to be slow, so sometimes that test fails
2022-03-10: extend time on test_timeout_alternate_exception - github macos seems to be slow, so sometimes that test fails
2022-03-01: github actions pipeline, codestyle black, fix requirements
2019-09-02: strict mypy static type checking, housekeeping
2019-05-03: pointing out caveats when using signals, the decorator defaults now to NOT using Signals !
2019-05-03: support nested decorators, mypy static type checking
2019-04-23: import multiprocess as multiprocess, not as multiprocessing - that might brake other packages
2019-04-09: initial PyPi release
2019-04-03: added pickle analyze convenience function
2019-03-27: added OsX and Windows tests, added parameter dec_hard_timeout for Windows, 100% Code Coverage
2019-02-26: complete refractoring and code cleaning
2019-02-25: fix pickle detection, added some tests, codecov now correctly combining the coverage of all tests
2019-02-24: fix pickle detection when use_signals = False, drop Python2.6 support since wrapt dropped it.
2018-09-13: use multiprocessing.pipe instead of queue If we are not able to use signals, we need to spawn a new process. This was done in the past by pickling the target function and put it on a queue - now this is done with a half-duplex pipe.
- it is faster
- it probably can work on Amazon AWS, since there You must not use queues
2017-12-02: automatic detection if we are in the main thread. Signals can only be used in the main thread. If the decorator is running in a subthread, we automatically disable signals.
2017-11-30: using dill and multiprocess to enhance windows functionality
2017-11-10: Initial public release
