Revert back to the fork start method (instead of forkserver) as the latter was found to cause crashes in interactive Python sessions.
Loïc Estève
Joblib hashing now uses the default pickle protocol (2 for Python 2 and 3 for Python 3). This makes it very unlikely to get the same hash for a given object under Python 2 and Python 3.
In particular, for Python 3 users, this means that the output of joblib.hash changes when switching from joblib 0.8.4 to 0.9.2 . We strive to ensure that the output of joblib.hash does not change needlessly in future versions of joblib but this is not officially guaranteed.
Loïc Estève
Joblib pickles generated with Python 2 can not be loaded with Python 3 and the same applies for joblib pickles generated with Python 3 and loaded with Python 2.
During the beta period 0.9.0b2 to 0.9.0b4, we experimented with a joblib serialization that aimed to make pickles serialized with Python 3 loadable under Python 2. Unfortunately this serialization strategy proved to be too fragile as far as the long-term maintenance was concerned (For example see https://github.com/joblib/joblib/pull/243). That means that joblib pickles generated with joblib 0.9.0bN can not be loaded under joblib 0.9.2. Joblib beta testers, who are the only ones likely to be affected by this, are advised to delete their joblib cache when they upgrade from 0.9.0bN to 0.9.2.

Fixed a bug with joblib.hash that used to return unstable values for strings and numpy.dtype instances depending on interning states.

Make joblib use the ‘forkserver’ start method by default under Python 3.4+ to avoid causing crash with 3rd party libraries (such as Apple vecLib / Accelerate or the GCC OpenMP runtime) that use an internal thread pool that is not not reinitialized when a fork system call happens.
Olivier Grisel
New context manager based API (with block) to re-use the same pool of workers across consecutive parallel calls.
Vlad Niculae and Olivier Grisel
Automated batching of fast tasks into longer running jobs to hide multiprocessing dispatching overhead when possible.

FIX make it possible to call joblib.load(filename, mmap_mode='r') on pickled objects that include a mix of arrays of both memmory memmapable dtypes and object dtype.

FIX #146: Heisen test failure caused by thread-unsafe Python lists
This fix uses a queue.Queue datastructure in the failing test. This datastructure is thread-safe thanks to an internal Lock. This Lock instance not picklable hence cause the picklability check of delayed to check fail.
When using the threading backend, picklability is no longer required, hence this PRs give the user the ability to disable it on a case by case basis.
