Changelog

This is the hand-created ChangeLog used prior to v1.1.3. Please refer to git log for changes after that.

1.1.12 Sun Feb 9 04:27:38 PST 2014 * GEARMAN_SERVERS environmental variable for libgearman to pick up servers to communicate with. This means that any driver now linked with libgearman will be able to handle multiple servers. * Add INFO level messages for queue creation.

1.1.11 Thu Oct 3 04:38:47 EDT 2013 * Workers which return a bad gearman_return_t will be counted as an error by the server and not a final (i.e. they will be retried). * Fixed possible bug where the server would over count the number of NOOP sent if NOOP messages did not get sent.

1.1.10 Mon Sep 16 04:20:13 CDT 2013 * Added gearman_job_use_client() * Improve compile time. * Fix for NOOP failure (bad worker causes early exit of loop). * Fix for postgres (use INFORMATION_SCHEMA). * Added gearman_client_has_active_tasks() so that you can see if a client has active tasks that it is working on.

1.1.9 Fri Aug 2 02:39:25 EDT 2013 * Added gearman_task_is_finished() * Improved SSL support. * Exceptions are now supported. * gearmand accepts its root CA via the environmental variable GEARMAND_PORT. * libgearman will now accept GEARMAND_CA_CERTIFICATE, GEARMAN_CLIENT_PEM, and GEARMAN_CLIENT_KEY.

1.1.8 Thu Jun 6 18:47:01 EDT 2013 * Postgres test case now passes. * SSL support added. * OSX fixes.

1.1.7 Mon May 6 06:46:20 EDT 2013 * Cleanup of error codes returned by gearmand. * gearmand will now set its port from the env variable GEARMAND_PORT. * Fix issue where identifier might not be set correctly on reconnect.

1.1.6 Tue Apr 16 03:29:57 EDT 2013 * Merge of 1.0.4 tree * Added support for gearadmin to "cancel" a job. * Keep-alive support for gearmand has been extended (more options to control behavior). * Fixed issues related to clients who didn't really support exceptions being passed exceptions.

1.1.5 Mon Feb 4 00:59:19 EST 2013 * Rollup of bug fixes for 1.0.3 * --threads=0 for gearmand will now result in gearmand using all available cores.
