Core package to analyze gravitational-wave data, find signals, and study their parameters. This package was used in the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW150914), and is used in the ongoing analysis of LIGO/Virgo data.
This change affects library useage of pycbc within a setting where the multiprocessing start context is already set. We currently force a setting of "fork" which doesn't work in some cases and may not be what someone wants for all uses.
Any executable and library code which relies on multiprocessing. In these cases, the correction recommended by @xkzl is used.
This change will ideally have no effect on current usage.
