[ANNOUNCE] greenlet 0.4.1

[Ralf Schmitt]

Hi,

I have uploaded greenlet 0.4.1 to PyPI:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/greenlet

What is it?
-----------
The greenlet module provides coroutines for python. coroutines allow
suspending and resuming execution at certain locations.

concurrence[1], eventlet[2] and gevent[3] use the greenlet module in
order to implement concurrent network applications.

Documentation can be found here: http://greenlet.readthedocs.org

The code is hosted on github:
https://github.com/python-greenlet/greenlet


Changes in version 0.4.1
------------------------
The NEWS file lists these changes for release 0.4.1:

* fix segfaults when using gcc 4.8 on amd64/x86 unix
* try to disable certain gcc 4.8 optimizations that make greenlet
crash
* Fix greenlet on aarch64 with gcc 4.8
* workaround segfault on SunOS/sun4v
* Add support for Aarch64

We use gevent at Songza. It's very cool. We went from 50 gunicorn
workers per server to 8 when we switched to gevent.
