• Don't get stuck in the wakeup loop. Dummy.

1.10 2009-10-04

• Read client input more aggressively. Speed improvement.
• Add text commands 'jobs' and 'clients' which give information allowing you to trace jobs from clients to workers while they are running.
• Flush buffers to client on EOF (assume half-closed). This makes things like netcat work better as a way to speak text protocol to the gearmand.
• Add command-line option to adjust a delay before more workers are woken up. This acts as an anti-starvation mechanism in case of lower wake up counts. -Default is .1 seconds, formerly this option was not needed because all workers were woken up at the time of job submission.
• Add command-line option to adjust number of workers to wake up per job injected. -Default is 3, formerly was -1 (wake up all as fast as possible)
• Add command-line option to change the number of sockets accepted at once per listener socket. -Default is now 10, formerly used to be 1.
• Add exceptions passing support to gearman server classes, using new options support.
• Add options support to server clients, so they can subscribe to newer protocol features.
• Change listening socket to be a real Danga::Socket subclass, this allows pausing for a period of time when we run into accept errors. This will fix the problem of gearmand spinning 100% cpu in those cases.
• Make gearmand a little more vocal about socket accept errors.
• add fast read concept to server reading from client codepath. This drastically improves performance of jobs over 1k in size.
• fix in-process client and start_worker method calls to use non-blocking sockets like they should.

• make start_worker (for making worker child processes), return the pid in scalar context, or ($pid, $conn) in list context
• make the text command "status" show functions which have registered workers, even if nothing is pending for that func.

1.08 2007-05-01

• let start_worker take a coderef for the exec, not just an $exe name

1.07 2007-05-01

• fix up bug in Gearman::Server: we set OtherFds, instead of adding with Danga::Socket->AddOtherFds, blowing away other watched fds.
• Add Gearman::Server->to_inprocess_server that returns a socket connecting to the server object, we can then use this socket with a Gearman::Client::Async object to run clients and servers in the same thread.
• Add ability for workers to be launched as sub processes of the gearmand, using a duped socketpair for communication.

1.06 2007-04-25

• split up the monolithic gearmand script (which had classes, but all internally), into separate files per class, and also make a new Gearman::Server class, so Gearman servers can be embedded into other processes. (running Gearman router inside Perlbal, MogileFS, DJabberd, etc... then having child processes be workers)

1.05

• add --pidfile=/path/file.pid option and document the command line options (Ask Bjoern Hansen)

1.04 2007-02-20

• Add maximum jobqueue size feature, with a test.

1.03 2006-09-25

• "version" text command
• weakref client connections in listeners list so they go away. still wondering why the jobs holding them lasted so long. or was it a loop? time will tell. go gladiator.

1.02 2006-09-20

• Devel::Gladiator support for tracking elusive memory leak
• support for "shutdown" and "shutdown graceful" commands, the latter of which immediate stops listens, and exits when convenient

1.01 2006-07-01

• Artur Bergman backed out some changes seconds before I did the 1.00 release. this puts them back in.

1.00 2006-07-01

• the get-it-on-CPAN-finally release. but forgot this changes entry.

0.30 2006-06-27

• fix memory leak with sleepers list. change it from list to hash so there can't be dups, as there were before, when a worker could do multiple functions.
