huey v1.4.0 Release Notes

  • 🛠 Fixed a subtle bug in the way Huey calculated when to run the periodic task ⏱ scheduler. If you had configured the consumer to check the schedule at an interval that was not a factor of 60, then there is a chance that periodic ⏱ tasks may be scheduled at incorrect intervals from one minute to the next. This 🛠 is fixed in 1.4.0.

    ➕ Added better signal handling in order to support graceful shutdown. Graceful 👷 shutdown involves letting workers finish executing any tasks they may be 🚦 processing at the time the shutdown signal is received. The default behavior is 👷 to interrupt the workers mid-task. Huey uses SIGTERM to shutdown the consumer immediately, and SIGINT to gracefully shutdown.

    ➕ Added support for using either a global task registry, or a registry bound to 0️⃣ a particular Huey instance. The default behavior is to use a global registry (backwards-compatible). To bind the registry to a single Huey instance, pass global_registry=False when initializing your Huey object.

    ➕ Added a reschedule() method to the TaskResultWrapper.

    📚 Documentation clean-ups and additions, particularly around the logic used to 📄 handle datetime conversion. Also added docs on shutdown modes for huey consumer.
