Changelog

Issues: 4 issues resolved.

Changes since 8.x-2.0-alpha3:

Changes since 7.x-2.5:

• #2798589 by ModernMantra, vilepickle, Jorrit, Triqueon: database_logger logs a log entry for removed log entries per cron job

The second alpha releases fixes a lot of bugs and cleans up additional parts that were not fully ported yet.

Warning:

Use the standard drush core-cron command to run cron, the ultimate_cron specific command does not respect disabled jobs and might be removed entirely, see #2871704: Disabled cron job should not run for more information.

A few minor improvements. A big thanks to the contributors!

Changes since 7.x-2.3:

Bugfixes (some potential):

Bug fixes:

• Use new default catch_up time when upgrading from default settings.
• Fix next schedule prediction and a potential off-by-one error.

Improvements:

Don't log a critical error when cron is run unexpectedly (harmless, but may confuse during installation, if Ultimate Cron is in the installation profile).

Bug fix:

• Unexpected call to cron_run() is not necessarily critical.

New features:

• Add --check-schedule option to drush cron run command.
• Add helper function for logging to Ultimate Cron logs only.

Bug fixes:

• Fix spelling.
• Don't add cron jobs for non-valid plugins.
• Only valid launchers should be available for poormans cron.

Improvements:

• Eliminate duplicate code.
• #2200789: Use REQUEST_TIME over time() where possible

New features:

• Add option for disabling cron queue processing plugin.

Bug fixes:

• [#568842]
• #1929084: Skipping cron jobs.
• #2040945: Additional tests and fixes for CronRule class

New features:

Alpha release. Seems very stable though.

There is, however a couple of things that I might do before releasing 2.0, hence the alpha version.

• Improve self-healing for background process legacy handling.
• Fix a nodejs race-condition on the live update page.

Charts for logs has been postponed, and Nagios support will be an add-on module, if implemented.

7.x dev branch.

Bug fixes:

Bug fixes:

• #1828406: Log spammed in safe mode
• Re-implement cleanup of queues. (queues were not cleaned up)

Improvements:

• Don't wait for next cron job to run, if a queued item fails.

New features:

NOTE: For best "experience" please also update Background Process and Progress
