bettermc 1.2.1

New Features

• add support for overloading parallel::mclapply() with bettermc::mclapply() via the bettermcExt-package on GitHub;
  this enables the use of bettermc::mclapply() by third-party packages originally using mclapply() from the parallel-package, e.g. doMC or rstan
• when applying over a character vector, that vector is now - by default - used to name the (otherwise unnamed) result (argument mc.use.names)
• tracebacks from etry() (and hence also from mclapply()) now contain an overview of the local variables and their values (essentially the output of ls.str() applied to all the frames on the call stack)
• new argument mc.system.time to mclapply(): if TRUE measure and return the CPU (and other) times used by the invocations of FUN
• the formal arguments mc.allow.fatal and mc.allow.error to mclapply() gain a new valid value: NA, which is the same as TRUE, but suppresses the warnings which would normally signal that there was a (fatal) error

Bug Fixes

• fix test failure if suggested progress-package is not available
• avoid progress bar job blocking main process

Misc

• make the format of this very file NEWS.md compatible with news()
• avoid a superfluous clang -Wuninitialized as requested by CRAN
• avoid a CRAN warning regarding "unlikely file names for src files"
