Okay, beanstalkd 1.4 is ready. To everyone who has contributed to this release and in the past, I can't thank you enough. This release contains a lot of fixes, a huge new feature, and is our most portable beanstalkd so far. Thanks for sticking with me! There will be no incompatible protocol changes until version 2.0. A client written for version 1.4 will work unmodified with any later 1.x release of beanstalkd. What's New ---------- * Persistence (Graham Barr, Keith Rarick) * Properly initialize network address struct (Jeethu Rao) * Fix daemonization on BSD systems, including Mac OS X (Alex MacCaw and Yun Huang Yong) * Now includes RPM spec file and init scripts (Ask Bjørn Hansen) * Fixed build and unit tests on Solaris and Mac (Keith Rarick) * Added "reserves" counter for each job (goosmurf) * Fix a memory leak from the peek and stats commands (goosmurf) * Handle SIGTERM just like SIGINT (Florian Noeding) * Use high-resolution timers, fixing some timeout-related bugs (Keith Rarick) Our Urls -------- Download the 1.4 tarball directly: <http://xph.us/dist/beanstalkd/beanstalkd-1.4.tar.gz> Learn all about beanstalk: <http://xph.us/software/beanstalkd/> Talk about beanstalk development or use at: <http://groups.google.com/group/beanstalk-talk> Bugs ---- Please report any bugs to: <http://github.com/kr/beanstalkd/issues>
