After upgrading you need migrate using South, or migrate manually as described below. These changes means that expiring results will be faster and take less memory than before. In addition a description field to the PeriodicTask model has been added so that the purpose of a periodic task in the database can be documented via the Admin interface. **South Migration** To migrate using South execute the following command:: $ python manage.py migrate djcelery If this is a new project that is also using South then you need to fake the migration: $ python manage.y migrate djcelery --fake **Manual Migration** To manually add the new fields, using PostgreSQL: .. code-block: sql ALTER TABLE celery_taskmeta ADD hidden BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE; ALTER TABLE celery_tasksetmeta ADD hidden BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE; ALTER TABLE djcelery_periodictask ADD description TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT "" using MySQL: .. code-block:: sql ALTER TABLE celery_taskmeta ADD hidden TINYINT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0; ALTER TABLE celery_tasksetmeta ADD hidden TINYINT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0; ALTER TABLE djcelery_periodictask ADD description TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT ""; using SQLite: .. code-block:: sql ALTER TABLE celery_taskmeta ADD hidden BOOL NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE; ALTER TABLE celery_tasksetmeta ADD hidden BOOL NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE; ALTER TABLE djcelery_periodictask ADD description VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL DEFAULT ""; .. _v250-news: News ---- * Auto-discovered task modules now works with the new auto-reloader functionality. * The database periodic task scheduler now tried to recover from operational database errors. * The periodic task schedule entry now accepts both int and timedelta (Issue #100). * 'Connection already closed' errors occurring while closing the database connection are now ignored (Issue #93). * The ``djcelerymon`` command used to start a Django admin monitor instance outside of Django projects now starts without a celery config module. * Should now work with Django 1.4's new timezone support. Contributed by Jannis Leidel and Donald Stufft. * South migrations did not work properly. Fix contributed by Christopher Grebs. * celeryd-multi now preserves django-related arguments, like ``--settings`` (Issue #94). * Migrations now work with Django < 1.3 (Issue #92).

Contributed by Greg Taylor. * Test runner now compatible with Django 1.4. Test runners are now classes instead of functions, so you have to change the ``TEST_RUNNER`` setting to read:: TEST_RUNNER = "djcelery.contrib.test_runner.CeleryTestSuiteRunner" Contributed by Jonas Haag. .. _240-upgrade_south: Upgrading for south users ------------------------- For those that are already using django-celery 2.3.x, you'll need to fake the newly added migration 0001, since your database already has the current ``djcelery_*`` and ``celery_*`` tables:: $ python manage.py migrate djcelery 0001 --fake If you're upgrading from the 2.2.x series, you'll want to drop/reset your ``celery_*`` and ``djcelery_*`` tables and run the migration:: $ python manage.py migrate djcelery .. _version-2.3.3: 2.3.3 ===== :release-date: 2011-08-22 12:00 AM BST * Precedence issue caused database backend tables to not be created (Issue #62). .. _version-2.3.2: 2.3.2 ===== :release-date: 2011-08-20 12:00 AM BST * Fixes circular import of DatabaseBackend. .. _version-2.3.1: 2.3.1 ===== :release-date: 2011-08-11 12:00 PM BST * Django database result backend tables were not created.

It is still recommended that you use isolation level ``READ-COMMITTED`` (see the Celery FAQ). .. _version-2.2.3: 2.2.3 ===== :release-date: 2011-02-12 16:00 PM CET * celerybeat: DatabaseScheduler did not respect the disabled setting after restart. * celeryevcam: Expiring objects now works on PostgreSQL. * Now requires Celery 2.2.3 .. _version-2.2.2: 2.2.2 ===== :release-date: 2011-02-03 16:00 PM CET * Now requires Celery 2.2.2 * Periodic Task Admin broke if the CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE setting was not set. * DatabaseScheduler No longer creates duplicate interval models. * The djcelery admin templates were not included in the distribution. .. _version-2.2.1: 2.2.1 ===== :release-date: 2011-02-02 16:00 PM CET * Should now work with Django versions previous to 1.2. .. _version-2.2.0: 2.2.0 ===== :release-date: 2011-02-01 10:00 AM CET * Now depends on Celery v2.2.0 * djceleryadm: Adds task actions Kill and Terminate task * celerycam: Django's queryset.delete() fetches everything in memory THEN deletes, so we need to use raw SQL to expire objects. * djcelerymon: Added Command.stdout + Command.stderr (Issue #23). * Need to close any open database connection after any embedded celerybeat process forks. * Added contrib/requirements/py25.txt * Demoproject now does ``djcelery.setup_loader`` in settings.py. .. _version-2.1.1: 2.1.1 ===== :release-date: 2010-10-14 02:00 PM CEST * Now depends on Celery v2.1.1. * Snapshots: Fixed bug with losing events. * Snapshots: Limited the number of worker timestamp updates to once every second. * Snapshot: Handle transaction manually and commit every 100 task updates. * snapshots: Can now configure when to expire task events. New settings: * ``CELERYCAM_EXPIRE_SUCCESS`` (default 1 day), * ``CELERYCAM_EXPIRE_ERROR`` (default 3 days), and * ``CELERYCAM_EXPIRE_PENDING`` (default 5 days). * Snapshots: ``TaskState.args`` and ``TaskState.kwargs`` are now represented as ``TextField`` instead of ``CharField``. If you need to represent arguments larger than 200 chars you have to migrate the table. * ``transaction.commit_manually`` doesn't accept arguments on older Django version. Should now work with Django versions previous to v1.2. * The tests doesn't need :mod:`unittest2` anymore if running on Python 2.7. .. _version-2.1.0: 2.1.0 ===== :release-date: 2010-10-08 12:00 PM CEST Important Notes --------------- This release depends on Celery version 2.1.0. Be sure to read the Celery changelog before you upgrade: http://celery.github.com/celery/changelog.html#version-2-1-0 News ---- * The periodic task schedule can now be stored in the database and edited via the Django Admin interface. To use the new database schedule you need to start ``celerybeat`` with the following argument:: $ python manage.py celerybeat -S djcelery.schedulers.DatabaseScheduler Note that you need to add your old periodic tasks to the database manually (using the Django admin interface for example). * New Celery monitor for the Django Admin interface. To start monitoring your workers you have to start your workers in event mode:: $ python manage.py celeryd -E (you can do this without restarting the server too:: >>> from celery.task.control import broadcast >>> broadcast("enable_events") You need to do a syncdb to create the new tables: python manage.py syncdb Then you need to start the snapshot camera:: $ python manage.py celerycam -f 2.0 This will take a snapshot of the events every 2 seconds and store it in the database. Fixes ----- * database backend: Now shows warning if polling results with transaction isolation level repeatable-read on MySQL. See http://github.com/celery/django-celery/issues/issue/6 * database backend: get result does no longer store the default result to database. See http://github.com/celery/django-celery/issues/issue/6 2.0.2 ===== Important notes --------------- * Due to some applications loading the Django models lazily, it is recommended that you add the following lines to your ``settings.py``:: import djcelery djcelery.setup_loader() This will ensure the Django celery loader is set even though the model modules haven't been imported yet. News ---- * ``djcelery.views.registered_tasks``: Added a view to list currently known tasks. 2.0.0 ===== :release-date: 2010-07-02 02:30 P.M CEST * Initial release
