+This is an addon for delayed_job (> 2.0.0) http://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job
+It is designed to be used when you're using Heroku as a host and have the need to do background work with delayed job but you don't want to leave the workers running all the time as it costs money.
 
 You basically add the gem to your project and the rest is taken care of for you given a few CONFIG vars set on Heroku.
 
 There are already a few of these out there, notably @mtravers' cheepnis http://github.com/mtravers/cheepnis and the autoscale branch of delayed_job by @pedro http://github.com/pedro/delayed_job/tree/autoscaling
 
-This one takes bits from both and is helping me understand gem and plugin development. It's built for rails 3 on the delayed_job 2.1.0.pre2 tag but don't see why it wouldn't work on rails 2 as well as it hooks into the callbacks of the Delayed::Job ActiveRecord class to turn workers on and off based on the creation and destruction of jobs.
+Workless takes ideas from both and is helping me understand gem and plugin development. Prior to version 1.0.0 it was originally built for rails 3 on the delayed_job 2.1.0.pre2 but since 1.0.0 is compatible with rails 2.3.x, 3.0.x, 3.1.x and 3.2.x

-h2. Failing Jobs
+## Failing Jobs
 
 In the case of failed jobs Workless will only shut down the dj worker if all attempts have been tried. By default Delayed Job will try 25 times to process a job with ever increasing time delays between each unsucessful attempt. Because of this Workless configures Delayed Job to try failed jobs only 3 times to reduce the amount of time a worker can be running while trying to process them.
 
-h2. Configuration
+## Configuration
 
 Workless can be disabled by using the null scaler that will ignore the workers requests to scale up and down. In an environment file add this in the config block:

+## Note on Patches/Pull Requests
 
 * Please fork the project, as you can see there are no tests and at present I don't know how to go about adding them so any advice would be welcome.
 * Make your feature addition or bug fix.
 * Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.
   (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
 * Send me a pull request.
