- RQ workers can now be paused and resumed using `rq suspend` and
`rq resume` commands. Thanks Jonathan Tushman!
- Jobs that are being performed are now stored in `StartedJobRegistry`
for monitoring purposes. This also prevents currently active jobs from
being orphaned/lost in the case of hard shutdowns.
- You can now monitor finished jobs by checking `FinishedJobRegistry`.
Thanks Nic Cope for helping!
- Jobs with unmet dependencies are now created with `deferred` as their
status. You can monitor deferred jobs by checking `DeferredJobRegistry`.
- It is now possible to enqueue a job at the beginning of queue using
`queue.enqueue(func, at_front=True)`. Thanks Travis Johnson!
- Command line scripts have all been refactored to use `click`. Thanks Lyon Zhang!
- Added a new `SimpleWorker` that does not fork when executing jobs.
Useful for testing purposes. Thanks Cal Leeming!
- Added `--queue-class` and `--job-class` arguments to `rqworker` script.
Thanks David Bonner!
- Many other minor bug fixes and enhancements.
