1.06 (2007-05-04)
-- better support for Gearman::Workers as child processes talking
to a Gearman::Server over unix pipe to parent
-- In worker class, broke out the on connection work, and use that better
in the case of being a sub process of the gearmand.
1.05 (2007-04-26)
-- update the prefix code to not break Gearman::Client::Async, which
was also updated to be compatible.
-- Add ability for workers to be launched as sub processes of the
gearmand, using a duped socketpair for communication.
-- just some extra debugging/deaths during weird cases (helped find
bugs when server code was massively refactored)
1.04 (2007-04-16)
-- Let Gearman::Worker use hostnames for job_servers (like
Gearman::Client does) (Ask)
-- Add prefix setting to Gearman::Client and Gearman::Worker for simple
namespace separation of different instances of the same worker and
client code sharing job servers. (Ask Bjoern Hansen)
-- Refactor tests to have less duplicate code (Ask Bjoern Hansen)
-- Make Gearman::Client / Gearman::Worker tests use $^X instead
of hardcoded 'perl' to start gearmand (Ask Bjoern Hansen)
1.03
-- Workers can now specify a timeout that when a task exceeds the time, the
jobserver will reassign the task and ignore results from the defunct job.
1.02
-- Task objects weren't reusable before anyway, and now they're really not:
when they complete or fail, they wipe all their internal subref members
to break any potential loops. also now support a new internal hook
that happens after your on_complete or on_failure callback. this
is used by Gearman::Client::Async now, for cancelling timers.
1.01
-- when workers are writing status messages up to parent, die on SIGPIPE,
or really any write errors, but just trap SIGPIPE now, if parent goes away.
fixes a bug found via Gearman::Client::Async's test suite.
1.00
-- finally package it up and call it 1.00 now that we've been using
it in (LiveJournal) production for quite a while, finding/fixing
the bugs that happen when you put something into production.
