huey v1.6.0 Release Notes

    • 👌 Support for task pipelining and task function partials (which is not compatible with 1.5's task serialization format see note below).
    • 👌 Support for triggering task retries using RetryTask exception.
    • 👌 Support for task locking, restricting concurrency of a given task.
    • 👻 Getting result of task that failed with an exception results in a TaskException being raised.
    • ⚡️ Updated health check to ensure the task scheduler is always running.
    • 🔨 Refactor implementation of task() and periodic_task() decorators, which should have the added benefit of making them easier to extend.
    • 🔨 Refactored result-store APIs to simplify serialization / deserialization logic.
    • 🛠 Fixed bug in serialization of task exceptions.
    • ➕ Added simple client/server implementation for testing locally. Blog post on the subject.

    Task serialization format

    In v1.6.0, the serialization format of tasks has changed to accomodate an extra 📇 piece of metadata. As a result, tasks enqueued with huey versions previous to 1.6 will not be able to be consumed by the 1.6 consumer.

    🚚 At present there is a workaround available in 1.6.1, but it will be removed 🚀 when 1.7.0 is released later.
