New Libraries

  • Process: Process library by Klemens D. Morgenstern, that provides cross platorm ways to allows you to:
    • create child processes
    • setup streams for child processes
    • communicate with child processes through streams (synchronously or asynchronously)
    • wait for processes to exit (synchronously or asynchronously)
    • terminate processes
    Broken feature:
