Special Notes

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, that after this version, we're going to start dropping support for older versions of Ruby. The larger ecosystem has moved on and continuing to support the Ruby 2.x branch is proving to be impossible. While Resque will likely continue to work on older versions of Ruby, as we move towards Resque 3, we're going to shift to officially supporting rubies that are still supported and maintained.

I want to thank everyone who contributed to Resque and the associated plugins this year. It's not easy maintaining a widely used project while also holding down a fairly demanding set of personal and professional responsibilities. Everyone's patience and contributions has been greatly appreciated.

I've just released Resque 1.25.0.pre! Resque is the most stable, widely-used job queue for Ruby. It uses Redis as its backing store.

This release is thanks to adelcambre, who took the time to get it over the finish line! <3

A total of 19 contributors helped out with this release, with 77 commits. Thank you to everyone!

CHANGES

You can see the full CHANGELOG here.

I am releasing this version as 'pre' due to one big change: a refactor to the forking code. This was introduced to fix a problem: the exit syscall raises a SystemExit Exception in ruby, its exit is treated as a failure, thus deregistering the worker. After the refactor + fix, things should be peachy. But please give the prerelease a try.

In addition, it has been discovered that we have accidentally introduced a SemVer violation back in v1.23.1: #1074

I take SemVer seriously, and apologize for this change. SemVer states that at this time, I should basically do whatever. Since this fixes a bug, I'm inclined to leave it in. If this introduces a significant problem for you, please let me know. Since others might now be relying on this new behavior, I'm not 100% sure what the best option is. Your feedback helps.

INSTALLING

To get 1.25.0.pre installed, just use gem install:

$ gem install resque --pre
