Use Lock instead of Event for update signaling #23

Closed rlee287 closed 7 years ago

Feature Request

Description of feature: Lock instead of Event

Rationale for feature: Updates should not occur unless code is not running. This mutual exclusion (mutex) is exactly what a Lock is designed for.

Retroactive issue creation: Issue #22 should technically occur after this

rlee287 commented 7 years ago

Currently working in #24, potential problems with version.txt that are also being fixed in this branch.

The .queue mechanism still needs work.
