I’ve just released Resque 1.25.0! Resque is the most stable, widely-used job queue for Ruby. It uses Redis as its backing store.

This release is thanks to adelcambre, who took the time to get it over the finish line! <3.

A total of 19 contributors helped out with this release, with 77 commits. Thank you to everyone!

This release contains no changes from the 1.25.0.pre release that was put out a few weeks ago, so if you’re using it, you can upgrade with no problems.

CHANGES

You can see the full CHANGELOG here.

This release had a pre-release because of one big change: a refactor to the forking code. This was introduced to fix a problem: the exit syscall raises a SystemExit Exception in ruby, its exit is treated as a failure, thus deregistering the worker. After the refactor + fix, things should be peachy. But please give the prerelease a try.

In addition, it has been discovered that we have accidentally introduced a SemVer violation back in v1.23.1: https://github.com/resque/resque/issues/1074

I take SemVer seriously, and apologize for this change. SemVer states that at this time, I should basically do whatever. Since this fixes a bug, I’m inclined to leave it in. If this introduces a significant problem for you, please let me know. Since others might now be relying on this new behavior, I’m not 100% sure what the best option is. Your feedback helps.

INSTALLING

To get 1.25.0 installed, just use gem install:

$ gem install resque
