v0.9.0

Key changes

• Raised resource_id and workflow_id column length from 32 to 256 (schema v3) with early validation in the engine and client.
• Added a pg-boss dead-letter queue (workflow_run_dlq) so workflow runs orphaned by a crashed worker are retried with the engine's exponential backoff or marked FAILED instead of staying RUNNING forever.
• Introduced a configurable pg-boss heartbeat (WORKFLOW_RUN_HEARTBEAT_SECONDS, default 30s) so dead workers are detected in roughly a minute.

Changelog

v0.8.3

Key changes

• Fixed silent queue cache initialization failure in pg-boss by upgrading to ^12.16.0 (timgit/pg-boss#768)

Changelog

See CHANGELOG.md for full release notes.

v0.8.2

Key changes

• Allowed WorkflowClientOptions to accept a pre-configured pg-boss instance so clients can reuse existing queue configuration.

Changelog

See CHANGELOG.md for full release notes.

v0.8.1

Key changes

• Exposed \idempotencyKey\\ on \WorkflowClient.startWorkflow()\\ for safer deduplicated run starts.
• Added a deterministic release skill to standardize versioning, changelog entries, tags, and release creation.

Changelog

See \CHANGELOG.md\\ for full release notes.

v0.8.0

Key changes

• Added WorkflowClient and WorkflowRef support to separate workflow triggering/querying from worker execution concerns.
• Added a microservices example showing shared workflows with dedicated API and worker services.
• Improved error surfacing so workflow failures expose nested/underlying errors more clearly.
• Reorganized documentation by splitting the README into focused docs pages under docs/.

Changelog

Full compare: v0.6.0...v0.7.0

v0.6.1

Patch release

Fixes

• Concurrency: Timeline merges now use transaction-level locking, with tighter lifecycle state guards to avoid inconsistent updates under concurrent workers.
• Review: Small follow-ups from code review on the above work.

Notes

• Includes migration and internal cleanup from the same branch. Start the engine once so migrations apply as usual.

Publish to npm when ready: npm publish from this tag (after checkout/build).

v0.6.0

What's Changed

New Features

• fastForwardWorkflow() method — Skip the current waiting step and immediately resume execution. Inspects the paused step type and dispatches the right internal action: triggerEvent for waitFor, timeout triggers for delay/waitUntil, resume for pause, and direct output writes for poll. If the workflow is not paused, it's a no-op. Useful for testing, debugging, or manually advancing workflows past long waits.

Improvements

• Improved backwards pagination in engine.getRuns for more reliable cursor-based pagination
• Stabilized fastForwardWorkflow unit tests
• Updated README with fastForwardWorkflow documentation and API reference
