[Unreleased]

[0.14.1] - 2021-01-19

Fixed

• go.mod file for CLI

[0.14.0] - 2021-01-14

• Renamed the operation Kill to Archive in Inpsector.

[0.13.1] - 2020-11-22

Fixed

• Fixed processor to wait for specified time duration before forcefully shutdown workers.

[0.13.0] - 2020-10-13

Added

• Scheduler type is added to enable periodic tasks. See the godoc for its APIs and wiki for the getting-started guide.

Changed

• interface Option has changed. See the godoc for the new interface. This change would have no impact as long as you are using exported functions (e.g. MaxRetry, Queue, etc) to create Options.

Added

• Payload.String() string method is added
• Payload.MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error) method is added

[0.12.0] - 2020-09-12

IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading from a previous version, please install the latest version of the CLI go get -u github.com/hibiken/asynq/tools/asynq and run asynq migrate command. No process should be writing to Redis while you run the migration command.

The semantics of queue have changed

Previously, we called tasks that are ready to be processed "Enqueued tasks", and other tasks that are scheduled to be processed in the future "Scheduled tasks", etc. We changed the semantics of "Enqueue" slightly; All tasks that client pushes to Redis are Enqueued to a queue. Within a queue, tasks will transition from one state to another. Possible task states are:

• Pending: task is ready to be processed (previously called "Enqueued")
• Active: tasks is currently being processed (previously called "InProgress")
• Scheduled: task is scheduled to be processed in the future
• Retry: task failed to be processed and will be retried again in the future
• Dead: task has exhausted all of its retries and stored for manual inspection purpose

These semantics change is reflected in the new Inspector API and CLI commands.

---

Changed

Client

Use ProcessIn or ProcessAt option to schedule a task instead of EnqueueIn or EnqueueAt.

Previously	v0.12.0
client.EnqueueAt(t, task)	client.Enqueue(task, asynq.ProcessAt(t))
client.EnqueueIn(d, task)	client.Enqueue(task, asynq.ProcessIn(d))

Inspector

All Inspector methods are scoped to a queue, and the methods take qname (string) as the first argument.
EnqueuedTask is renamed to PendingTask and its corresponding methods.
InProgressTask is renamed to ActiveTask and its corresponding methods.
Command "Enqueue" is replaced by the verb "Run" (e.g. EnqueueAllScheduledTasks --> RunAllScheduledTasks)

CLI

CLI commands are restructured to use subcommands. Commands are organized into a few management commands: To view details on any command, use asynq help <command> <subcommand>.

• asynq stats
• asynq queue [ls inspect history rm pause unpause]
• asynq task [ls cancel delete kill run delete-all kill-all run-all]
• asynq server [ls]

Added

RedisConnOpt

• RedisClusterClientOpt is added to connect to Redis Cluster.
• Username field is added to all RedisConnOpt types in order to authenticate connection when Redis ACLs are used.

Client

• ProcessIn(d time.Duration) Option and ProcessAt(t time.Time) Option are added to replace EnqueueIn and EnqueueAt functionality.

Inspector

• Queues() ([]string, error) method is added to get all queue names.
• ClusterKeySlot(qname string) (int64, error) method is added to get queue's hash slot in Redis cluster.
• ClusterNodes(qname string) ([]ClusterNode, error) method is added to get a list of Redis cluster nodes for the given queue.
• Close() error method is added to close connection with redis.

Handler

• GetQueueName(ctx context.Context) (string, bool) helper is added to extract queue name from a context.

[0.11.0] - 2020-07-28

Added

• Inspector type was added to monitor and mutate state of queues and tasks.
• HealthCheckFunc and HealthCheckInterval fields were added to Config to allow user to specify a callback function to check for broker connection.

[0.10.0] - 2020-07-06

Changed

• All tasks now requires timeout or deadline. By default, timeout is set to 30 mins.
• Tasks that exceed its deadline are automatically retried.

• API of (*Client).Enqueue, (*Client).EnqueueIn, and (*Client).EnqueueAt has changed to return a *Result.
• API of ErrorHandler has changed. It now takes context as the first argument and removed retried, maxRetry from the argument list. Use GetRetryCount and/or GetMaxRetry to get the count values.
