🎉 Time for JobRunr v7.0.0 🎉

It's Celebration Time Once Again at JobRunr!

We are excited to announce the release of JobRunr v7.0.0 and JobRunr Pro v7.0.0. This major release is now available via Maven Central and directly for our Pro subscribers through the customer portal. Building on our promise to deliver robust job scheduling solutions, v7.0.0 brings a suite of powerful new features, substantial performance enhancements, and critical dashboard improvements. Let’s delve into what makes this release a game-changer for developers and enterprises alike for both JobRunr Pro and JobRunr OSS!

🙏 We'd also like to thank all of the developers and companies who have beta tested JobRunr v7 beta's and release candidates.

What is new?

Pro Version:

  • Allow updating job labels from within a JobFilter. PR #251 (fixes #239)
  • Allow to delete recurring jobs automatically using a deleteAt hint. PR #257
  • Add support for job progress monitoring via JobServerFilter to get notified on job progress. PR #282

Enhancements

  • BackgroundJobServer Master Tasks are now spread over multiple threads for smooth processing. PR #280
  • Use Time-based UUID's as ID's for jobs instead of UUID.randomUUID() for lower disk usage in databases. PR #890 (fixes #891)
  • Significantly decrease JSON size. PR #892
  • Improve Dynamic Queue Policy in combination with rate limiters by slowly phasing out unused dynamic queues. PR #216
  • Workflow improvement: jobs within batch jobs can now use continuations while batch jobs themselves have continuations. (fixes #201)
  • Performance improvement: prevent Optimistic Locking Exceptions and use select for update skip locked if the database supports it. PR #904
  • Refactor batch jobs to not use metadata for succeeded child jobs. (fixes #217)
  • Support for unlimited batch jobs. PR #265 (fixes #254)
  • Dashboard: batch jobs are now directly visible on the jobs page. PR #250
  • Improve Job Metrics using MicroMeter. PR #274 (fixes #242)
  • Wait for database migrations to finish before starting background job processing PR #266
  • Improve Recurring Jobs in Spring Boot / Micronaut / Quarkus and keep paused state. PR #304
  • Fetch all SCHEDULED jobs at the same pollInterval. PR #273
  • JobRunr let's you know when your JobFilters are too slow via a warning. PR #961

  • Performance improvement: improved SQL indexes (thanks to the customers who where willing to share their data)
  • Log warning if ASM is not compatible. PR #925 (fixes #924)

Fixed bugs

  • Fix Bug where Micronaut integration fails if multiple servers are used. PR #852
  • Make sure MicroMeter Job metrics is also working with Fluent configuration .PR #207
  • Fix when moving from JobRunr OSS v4 to JobRunr Pro v6. PR #880
  • Fix bug inMigrateFromV5toV6Task related RecurringJobs migration. PR #238
  • Allow to gracefully stop the BackgroundJobServer. PR #272

  • Fix GraalVM native mode in Quarkus PR #295

  • Fix Bug ApplyStateFilter is called before save resulting in multiple calls to onStateApplied. PR #903 (fixes #902)
  • Use Jackson by default in Quarkus if present. PR #913 (fixes #887)
  • Fix Bug JobServerFilter.onProcessingFailed is not called when a job orphans (e.g. if background job server dies). PR #921 (fixes #920)
  • Fix Bug IllegalStateException: Can not find variable 3 in stack. PR #941, PR #945 (fixes #942)
  • Fix Bug CronExpression.validateSchedule() does not correctly check for interval size. PR #859 (fixes #858)

Breaking changes

  • @Recurring has been moved to core org.jobrunr.jobs.annotations.Recurring and uses enums instead of booleans. The attributes paused and scheduleJobsSkippedDuringDowntime now use an enum instead of a boolean. This allows us to keep the paused state of a Recurring job even if you redeploy (default) whereas in the past, on redeploy, the Job would be started automatically again. If paused is put to false in the @Recurring, the Recurring job will start on redeploy even if it was paused before via the dashboard
  • JobScheduler.delete(String id) has been renamed to JobScheduler.deleteRecurringJob(String id)
  • The StorageProvider has been updated and is not backwards compatible as is the Page and PageRequest. A new class org.jobrunr.storage.Paging was added where all utility methods regarding Paging have been collected
  • For SQL databases, JobRunr deletes all indexes and recreates them for better performance. If you have a lot of jobs in your database, the migration may take a while. Also, on some databases column types are changed for better performance making this release not backwards compatible.
  • JobRunr and JobRunr Pro 7 requires MongoDB Driver 5.0.0 or higher (please be aware that Spring Boot 3.2 still depends on Mongo 4.x)
  • We're also dropping the RedisStorageProvider and the ElasticSearchStorageProvider in JobRunr Pro. JobRunr 7 OSS will be the last to support it.
  • JobContext.getSignature() has been renamed to JobContext.getJobSignature()
  • JobDashboardProgressBar.setValue(...) has been renamed to JobDashboardProgressBar.setProgress(long succeededAmount)
  • Overall BatchJobs logic has been rewritten, make sure MigrateFromV6toV7Task is run
  • Dynamic queues configuration has been changed in Spring, Quarkus and Micronaut: dynamic-queues.type has been removed, instead the type is now part of the dynamic queues property keys, e.g., org.jobrunr.jobs.dynamic-queue.round-robin.label-prefix (please adapt to your framework)

v6.3.0

9 months ago

Celebration time!

I'm pleased to announce the release of JobRunr v6.3.0 (which is now available via Maven Central) and JobRunr Pro v6.3.0 which is available for customers with a subscription.

Since the 6.2.0 release, we did some performance improvements related to the dashboard resulting in less calls to the JobRunr rest API and we also did stability improvements which should result in less SevereJobRunrExceptions. This release adds support for Micronaut 4 and Kotlin 1.9.

In JobRunr Pro, we added Observability support, added the option to set a Job time-out, users can now sort the jobs in the dashboard and we improved the RetryPolicy which now also allows to specify a custom amount of retries per Exception. And last but not least, all dependencies were also updated.

I also want to shoutout to Sergi Almar who improved the spring-boot-starter and Geir Sagberg who fixed a bug in the dashboard for their contributions. You have my eternal 🙏.

Observability

Although the JobRunr Pro Dashboard gives instant insights how your jobs are doing, you may already have an observability platform like Jaeger, HoneyComb or New Relic running inside your organization. JobRunr Pro now out-of-the box integrates with many of these observability platforms so you can keep on top of things. This means you can now see how long your different Job instances take and where a job spends the most time right from your existing observability platform.

Job Timeout

A Job time-out is exactly what you think it is - specify it when creating a Job and if the Job is processing longer than the given time-out, JobRunr will automatically interrupt it.
