From: hemant Date: 2008-03-02T12:36:46+09:00 Subject: [ANN] BackgrounDRb 1.0.3 release ( Requiem for a dream ) Hi Folks, BackgrounDRb 1.0.3 is available now. This release contains several bug fixes, cleanups, test case coverage and brand new documentation. A brief ChangeLog: 2008-02-28 hemant kumar * fixed some meory leaks. * Implemented cleaner API for invoking tasks in workers * Updated the documentation 2008-02-25 hemant kumar * Commited Patch by Alex which lets BackgrounDRb to have command line arguments and loading of specific environments through command line argument. 2008-02-14 hemant kumar * Added TestCases for Cron Triggers, Meta Workers and stuff. We are heading towards proper code coverage with test/spec. * Added preliminary support for starting a worker on demand through scheduler. What it means is, when you have a worker which is getting scheduled very less frequently and you don't want the worker to persist, you can ask BackgrounDRb to restart the worker on each schedule. * Fixed some unreported issues with writing data to socket between workers and stuff. * Fixed issues with too many open connections, because connections were not getting closed. BackgrounDRb now opens only one connection, which is reused throughout the lifecycle of rails application. * Fixed all outstanding issues with Cron triggers, BackgrounDRb now explicitly depends on "chronic" gem. * Removed Framework directory and BackgrounDRb now explicitly depends on packet gem. We also did lot of work on documentation and new docs are available at: http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org Credits: * Dale cook for helping out with documentation. * Alex for awesome patches. * Ezra and Skaar for taking BackgrounDRb so far. * Francis Cianfrocca for EventMachine and inspiration. -- Let them talk of their oriental summer climes of everlasting conservatories; give me the privilege of making my own summer with my own coals. http://gnufied.org
