  error is found (serverName, status and message)
  
* [fix] Added additional pairs of
  Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS/Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS to py vortex channel

  calling vortex_exit_ctx (Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS)...

* [fix] Added more declarations for allow/end threads inside
  py_vortex_ctx_bridge_event when removing event after finishing event
  installed through vortex.Ctx ().new_event

* [fix] Several updates to make vortex.Ctx () internal call to

  (ref_mutex) to report current data.

* [fix] Making vortex_ctx_ref_count to report reference counting
  without locking internal ref_mutex

* [fix] Updated VortexLogHandlerFull implementation to pass as first
  parameter a reference to the VortexCtx context..

* [fix] Fixed critical section to acquire GIL just after removing
  bridged event..

* [fix] Updated CLOSE_HANDLE (py_vortex_ctx_record_close_handler) to
