multiprocessing.Process.is_alive() now removes the process from the
_children set if the process completed.
The change prevents leaking "dangling" processes.
* bpo-26732: fix too many fds in processes started with the "forkserver" method
A child process would inherit as many fds as the number of still-running children.
* Add blurb and test comment
* bpo-19896: Add typcodes 'q' and 'Q' to multiprocessing.sharedctypes. Patch by Antony Lee.
* Add NEWS entry.
* Slightly tweak NEWS entry
Make it clear this is more of a fix rather than a new feature.
* bpo-30794: added kill() method to multiprocessing.Process
* Added entries to documentation and NEWS
* Refactored test_terminate and test_kill
* Fix SIGTERM and SIGKILL being used on Windows for the tests
* Added "versionadded" marker to the documentation
* Fix trailing whitespace in doc
multiprocessing.Queue.join_thread() now waits until the thread
completes, even if the thread was started by the same process which
created the queue.
Fix the following warning which occurs randomly when running
test_handle_called_with_mp_queue of test_logging.QueueListenerTest:
Warning -- threading_cleanup() failed to cleanup -1 threads after 4 sec (count: 0, dangling: 1)
* Clear potential ref cycle between Process and Process target
Besides Process.join() not being called, this was an indirect cause of bpo-30775.
The threading module already does this.
* Add issue reference
* Fix bpo-30596: Add close() method to multiprocessing.Process
* Raise ValueError if close() is called before the Process is finished running
* Add docs
* Add NEWS blurb
* bpo-24484: Avoid race condition in multiprocessing cleanup
The finalizer registry can be mutated while inspected by multiprocessing
at process exit.
* Use test.support.start_threads()
* Add Misc/NEWS
* Fix race condition in signal wakeup in forkserver (followup to PR #1989)
There's an admittedly well-known race condition where ECHILD can arrive
just before the C function epoll_wait() and the latter wouldn't therefore
return EINTR. The solution is to use set_wakeup_fd(), which was designed
to avoid such race conditions.
* Reset wakeup fd in child
multiprocessing.Queue.get() with a timeout now polls its reader in
non-blocking mode if it succeeded to aquire the lock but the acquire
took longer than the timeout.

* bpo-16500: Allow registering at-fork handlers
* Address Serhiy's comments
* Add doc for new C API
* Add doc for new Python-facing function
* Add NEWS entry + doc nit
* bpo-30414: multiprocesing.Queue._feed do not break from main loop on exc
Queue background running thread was not handling exceptions correctly.
Any exception occurred inside thread (putting unpickable object) cause
feeder to finish running. After that every message put into queue is
silently ignored.

Queue background running thread was not handling exceptions correctly.

* bpo-29861: release references to multiprocessing Pool tasks
Release references to tasks, their arguments and their results as soon
as they are finished, instead of keeping them alive until another task
arrives.
* Comments in test
* multiprocessing: open file with closefd=False to avoid ResourceWarning
* _test_multiprocessing: open file with O_EXCL to detect bugs in tests (if a
previous test forgot to remove TESTFN)
* test_sys_exit(): remove TESTFN after each loop iteration
