==== Fedora Project ====

 * Updated `perl-MCE` to 1.840 in Rawhide:
 . New Features
  * Added `MCE::Mutex::Channel2` providing two locks using a single channel; the secondary lock is accessible by calling methods with the '`2`' suffix, e.g. primary mutex `->lock`, `->unlock`; secondary mutex `->lock2`, `->unlock2`
  * Added `MCE::Channel` providing queue-like and two-way communication supporting threads and processes
  * Added `MCE::Child` and compatibility with Perl 5.8; `MCE::Child` is based on `MCE::Hobo`, but using `MCE::Channel` for data retrieval without involving a shared-manager process
  * Added `MCE::Channel` examples { `channel1.pl` and `channel2.pl` } using `threads` and `MCE::Child` respectively
 . Enhancements
  * IPC update; removed unnecessary overhead including private methods `_sysseek` and `_syswrite` from `MCE::Util` (no longer needed)
  * Improved `MCE->do`, now callable by workers and the manager process
  * Updated `MCE::{ Flow, Grep, Loop, Map, Step,` and `Stream }` documentation on passing an array reference versus a list for deeply input data
  * Updated and re-organized the top-level `MCE` documentation, particularly improved clarity for the '`MCE Models`' section
  * Removed `MANIFEST.SKIP`
  * Update `MCE::Channel` POD documentation
 * Updated `perl-MCE-Shared` to 1.841 in Rawhide:
  * IPC update; raising reliability across multiple platforms
  * Improved the hack for the Windows platform to `MCE::Shared::Server`
  * Support reading a shared `<DATA>` handle residing in the main script without involving the `IO::FDPass` module
  * Added `barrier` option to `MCE::Shared::Queue` allowing one to disable
  * Added mutex locking for all shared objects, previously just condvars
  * Added `void_context` option to `MCE::Hobo`
  * Renamed POD method headers from '`=item`' to '`=head2`' in `Shared` classes
  * Bumped `MCE` dependency to 1.839
  * Removed `MANIFEST.SKIP`
