php-resque/CHANGELOG.md

1.3 (2013-??-??) - Current Master

Note: This release introduces backwards incompatible changes with all previous versions of php-resque. Please see below for details.

Redisent (Redis Library) Replaced with Credis

Redisent has always been the Redis backend for php-resque because of its lightweight nature. Unfortunately, Redisent is largely unmaintained.

Credis is a fork of Redisent, which among other improvements will automatically use the phpredis native PHP extension if it is available. (you want this for speed, trust me)

php-resque now utilizes Credis for all Redis based operations. Credis automatically required and installed as a Composer dependency.

Composer Support

Composer support has been improved and is now the recommended method for including php-resque in your project. Details on Composer support can be found in the Getting Started section of the readme.

Other Improvements/Changes

• COMPATIBILITY BREAKING: The bundled worker manager resque.php has been moved to bin/resque, and is available as vendor/bin/resque when php-resque is installed as a Composer package.

• Restructure tests and test bootstrapping. Autoload tests via Composer (install test dependencies with composer install --dev)

• Add SETEX to list of commands which supply a key as the first argument in Redisent (danhunsaker)

• Fix an issue where a lost connection to Redis could cause an infinite loop (atorres757)

• Add a helper method to Resque_Redis to remove the namespace applied to Redis keys (tonypiper)

1.2 (2012-10-13)

Note: This release is largely backwards compatible with php-resque 1.1. The next release will introduce backwards incompatible changes (moving from Redisent to Credis), and will drop compatibility with PHP 5.2.

• Allow alternate redis database to be selected when calling setBackend by supplying a second argument (patrickbajao)
• Use require_once when including php-resque after the app has been included in the sample resque.php to prevent include conflicts (andrewjshults)
• Wrap job arguments in an array to improve compatibility with ruby resque (warezthebeef)
• Fix a bug where the worker would spin out of control taking the server with it, if the redis connection was interrupted even briefly. Use SIGPIPE to trap this scenario cleanly. (d11wtq)
• Added support of Redis prefix (namespaces) (hlegius)
• When reserving jobs, check if the payload received from popping a queue is a valid object (fix bug whereby jobs are reserved based on an erroneous payload) (salimane)
• Re-enable autoload for class_exists in Job.php (humancopy)
• Fix lost jobs when there is more than one worker process started by the same parent process (salimane)
• Move include for resque before APP_INCLUDE is loaded in, so that way resque is available for the app
• Avoid working with dirty worker IDs (salimane)
• Allow UNIX socket to be passed to Resque when connecting to Redis (pedroarnal)
• Fix typographical errors in PHP docblocks (chaitanyakuber)
• Set the queue name on job instances when jobs are executed (chaitanyakuber)
• Fix and add tests for Resque_Event::stopListening (ebernhardson)
• Documentation cleanup (maetl)
• Pass queue name to afterEvent callback
• Only declare RedisException if it doesn't already exist (Matt Heath)
• Add support for Composer
• Fix missing and incorrect paths for Resque and Resque_Job_Status classes in demo (jjfrey)
• Disable autoload for the RedisException class_exists call (scragg0x)
• General tidy up of comments and files/folders

1.1 (2011-03-27)

• Update Redisent library for Redis 2.2 compatibility. Redis 2.2 is now required. (thedotedge)
• Trim output of ps to remove any prepended whitespace (KevBurnsJr)
• Use getenv instead of $_ENV for better portability across PHP configurations (hobodave)
• Add support for sub-second queue check intervals (KevBurnsJr)
• Ability to specify a cluster/multiple redis servers and consistent hash between them (dceballos)
• Change arguments for jobs to be an array as they're easier to work with in PHP.
• Implement ability to have setUp and tearDown methods for jobs, called before and after every single run.
• Fix APP_INCLUDE environment variable not loading correctly.
• Jobs are no longer defined as static methods, and classes are instantiated first. This change is NOT backwards compatible and requires job classes are updated.
• Job arguments are passed to the job class when it is instantiated, and are accessible by $this->args. This change will break existing job classes that rely on arguments that have not been updated.
• Bundle sample script for managing php-resque instances using monit
• Fix undefined variable $child when exiting on non-forking operating systems
• Add PIDFILE environment variable to write out a PID for single running workers

1.0 (2010-04-18)
