v2.0.0 - The "Database-Driven Development" Release!

What's Changed

Numerous changes focused on index coverage and query performance went into this release.

At a high level, this release consists of:

• New optional-but-encouraged DB indexes (available via rake delayed:install:migrations) that improve index coverage of all queries.
• Adjustments to queries to improve selectivity and reduce cost (# of scanned/filtered rows).
• First class support for HOT updates in PostgreSQL (during job pickup query).
• Daylight savings time fixes in non-UTC time (:local) contexts. (#81)
• Job timeouts can no longer be rescued from within the perform method as a StandardError (#66)

YMMV (and will depend heavily on the contents of your queue and the number of workers you run). In real-world at-scale testing against a PostgreSQL (RDS Aurora) backed queue, in an environment where the table had many millions of future-scheduled and/or failed rows (i.e. "non-claimable" rows), improvements were observed across the board:

• The worker pickup query saw a 100-1000x query time improvement.
• The "monitor" queries saw on net a 10-100x improvement.
• Overall CPU usage and disk I/O of an active (but not back-logged) PostgreSQL queue dropped significantly.

v1.2.1

What's Changed

• fix: Fix set_name callback, and improve spec coverage by @smudge in #60

Full Changelog: v1.2.0...v1.2.1

v1.2.0 - `delayed_jobs.name` !!!

What's Changed

This release adds a delayed_jobs.name column that will be populated by default when each job is enqueued. While this column starts as nullable (to ensure zero downtime is required to make this change), it may someday be promoted to a required column (TBD).

The purpose of this column is twofold:

1. Improve downstream developers' ability to manually operate the queue without needing to query deep into the handler column.
2. Power richer observability & instrumentation tooling (e.g. top N job types in the table, etc)
