ForkAndReturn 0.1.1 is released.

ForkAndReturn implements a couple of methods that simplify  
running a block of code in a subprocess. The result (Ruby  
object or exception) of the block will be available in the  
parent process.

ForkAndReturn also enriches Enumerable with a couple of methods  
(e.g. Enumerable#concurrent\_collect()), in order to simplify  
the concurrent execution of a block for a collection of objects.

0.1.1 (19-07-2008)

- Added example.txt.

- at\_exit blocks defined in the child itself will be executed  
in the child, whereas at\_exit blocks defined in the parent  
won‘t be executed in the child. (In the previous version,  
the at\_exit blocks defined in the child weren‘t be executed  
at all.)

- Added File#chmod(0600), so the temporary file with the  
intermediate results can‘t be read by other people.
