After 5 months. It is done. This is the most waited and the most
feature-packed release.
I am sure we'll find some corners that need to be ironed but it is
considerably better than 1.99.7. It adds lot of new features and improves
many existing ones:
- 57,000 new lines of code and closed 279 issues since 1.99.7.
- Retrieving data from DB should be faster, in particular
select(cacheable=True)
- Has a new scheduler, a built-in wiki, new language and pluralization
system, better markmin with oembed support and better scaffolding app,
increased security.
- Lots of experimental features including GIS support, mongodb support,
built-in auth.wiki(), and more.
Should be 100% backward compatible. If you run into any issue let us know
ASAP.
I personally want to thank the major contributors to this release (in
alphabetic order)
Alan, Andrew, Anthony, Bruno, Christian, Dave, Dominic, Iceberg, Jonathan,
Marc, Mariano, Marin, Martin, Mark, Michael, Michele, Niphlod, Patrick,
Vladyslav,
They spend many nights testing, coding, debugging at a very fast pace.
Many many people have contributed.
If your contribution has not been properly acknowledged please let us know
ASAP. It is probably an oversight.
Massimo

### Scheduler Improvements (thanks to niphlod, ykessler, dhx, toomim)
- web2py.py -K myapp -X starts the myapp scheduler alongside the webserver
- tasks are marked EXPIRED (if stop_time passed)
- functions with no result don't end up in scheduler_run
- more options: web2py.py -E -b -L
- scheduler can now handle 10k tasks with 20 concurrent workers and with
no issues
- new params:
tasks can be found in the environment (no need to define the tasks
parameter)
max_empty_runs kills the workers automatically if no new tasks are
found in queue (nice for spikes of processing power)
discard_results to completely discard the results (if you don't need
the output of the task)
utc_time enables datetime calculations with UTC
