I can use some help in making new tagged release. Basically, master branch of github will be merged with testcase branch. I am exclusively working on testcase branch. In past, I had some bad experience with hurried releases and don't want to repeat the same mistake, in the meanwhile, you can happily use git master, it works pretty rock solid and whenever required i roll out new fixes. BUT, next release will be a major release and I don't want to mess it up. Here are set of things, that I am working on: 1. Get close to 100% test coverage and make tests runnable by end users. 2. Implement support for database based persistent worker queues. Done in testcase branch. 3. Implement support for clustering of BackgrounDRb servers and load balancing. This is again done. 4. Support for multi-machine setup and let user run tasks on specified hosts.Done 5. make result storing thread safe and hence can be called from within threads. 6. Support memcache based result storage properly. 7. Cleanup job_key confusion. 8. Fix some memory leaks introduced by upstream stupid ruby tricks. You can see this change sheet is huge. There have been some minor API changes as well, but I want this release to be stable and scalable within production environments. If you want to accelerate this process, then checkout code from testcase branch of github backgroundrb repo and give it a try.Thats the future. Otherwise, use master branch, there is no problem there. _______________________________________________ Backgroundrb-devel mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/backgroundrb-devel
