Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
This is a maintenance release, see changelog:
Code cleanup: fixed typo errors, thanks to camidoo
Bugfix: 'Run cron when nothing to do' setting was not saved, thanks to camidoo
Bugfix: Added validation to cron delay settings in administration form
Cron is now configurable. Site admin can disable arbitrary cron run using the daemon. In case the daemon is configured to run the cron when idling, a new setting allow site admin to add an arbitrary minimal time gap between two cron run.
Daemon fork process creation have been raised to 5 seconds, in order to avoid the cron being resource intensive. In a future release this behavior could be configurable. It still can be changed directly in the daemoncli.defines.inc file.
