Cuemon 2.7.2014.2940

This package has no dependencies.

This release contains several new improvements including internal refactoring.
The following work was completed for this release:

- New interface, ISynchronization, in the Cuemon.Threading namespace that provides asynchronous communication between objects about events
- New sealed class, ThreadPoolSettings, in the Cuemon.Threading namespace that specifies a set of features to apply directly on the static ThreadPool object
- New sealed class, ThreadPoolInfo, in the Cuemon.Threading namespace that provides information about available threads in the statuc ThreadPool object
- New static class, ParallelThread, in the Cuemon.Threading namespace that provides ways to encapsulate and re-use existing code while adding support for parallel loops and regions using Thread as backing strategy
- New static class, ParallelThreadPool, in the Cuemon.Threading namespace that provides ways to encapsulate and re-use existing code while adding support for parallel loops and regions using ThreadPool as backing strategy
- New sealed class, PartitionCollection<T>, in the Cuemon.Collections.Generic namespace that represents an IEnumerable<T> partitioned data sequence
- New sealed class, SecurityTokenSettings, in the Cuemon.Security namespace that specifies a set of features to support on the SecurityToken object created by the SecurityToken.Create method

- Refactored the CountdownEvent class in the Cuemon.Threading namespace to three new classes; CountdownEventBase, CountdownEvent and CountdownEventBaseSlim
- Refactored the SecurityToken class in the Cuemon.Security namespace to support the new SecurityTokenSettings class

- Improved the ThreadUtility class in the Cuemon.Threading namespace to include a DefaultNumberOfConcurrentWorkerThreads property
- Improved the ThreadPoolUtility class in the Cuemon.Threading namespace to include a Probe method
- Improved the ConvertUtility class in the Cuemon namespace to support Uri structs in the ChangeType method
- Improved the StringUtility class in the Cuemon namespace to include a IsBase64 method
- Improved the AssignmentUtility class in the Cuemon namespace to include a generic Calculate method

- The ParallelUtility class in the Cuemon.Threading namespace was deprecated in favor of the new classes; ParallelThread and ParallelThreadPool

Note: some of the refactorings applied triggered interface changes which you should take into account if you implicit or explicit used the SecurityToken and/or ParallelUtility class (and derived hereof)
