What's the current status of multiprocessing in the Windows environment? I
haven't seen anything for a month or so, & I'm really keen to try rollouts
on multiple PCs. I've been holding off some large rollouts in the hope
that this would be available soon. Should I not my hopes up?
I'm sorry to say that it won't be too soon that it will work on Windows.
Olivier and I had some extensive debugging sessions (since he doesn't have
access to a Windows PC) which fixed a few things. But there is still
missing something in the thread handling. (The worker thread runs fine but
doesn't signal well/isn't collected.)
Another problem is that the current code still uses polling which puts a
big load on the machine.
I think on Unix it works already (apart from the last issue). So get
yourself Linux. ;-)
And last, Olivier is on vacation right now, but should return soon.

P.S. I have a pre-compiled version for Windows on my site. But the
multi-processing does NOT work! If you want to have a look install it
somewhere else.
