Task runs can queue other task runs and the chain is recorded on every run,
CPU bound tasks behave the same way in a subprocess as on the event loop, and
Kubernetes Jobs inherit the task timeout. The documentation gained a settings
reference, a recipes cheat sheet and a page on pointing coding agents at the
library.

  • A task run can queue another task run with
    TaskRun.queue, which
    records the queueing run in from_run_id and carries the root_run_id of
    the first run in the chain, so any run can be traced back to the one that
    started it.
    (#110)
  • CPU bound tasks now start the async event dispatcher in the subprocess that
    runs them, so lifecycle events reach the handlers and plugins there as well,
    and a consumer with CPU bound tasks that is not started from
    TaskManagerCLI raises the
    new CpuBoundEntryPointError on startup rather than failing when the first
    such task runs.
  • A Kubernetes Job created for a CPU bound task sets active_deadline_seconds
    from the task timeout_seconds, so the cluster terminates a Job that
    overruns.
    (#108)
  • New Settings reference
    page covering the environment variables that configure the task consumer,
    broker, database and HTTP client, including the prefix rules and the fields
    that keep an unprefixed name.
  • Fixed the Task Broker
    tutorial, which imported a name that does not exist, quoted the wrong
    default Redis port, and listed six outdated abstract methods instead of the
    sixteen a broker has to implement.
  • Admonition blocks are rendered as admonitions instead of literal text, which
    also fixes the note on retry delays in the
    Task Retry reference.
  • New recipes cheat sheet, a page on
    using the docs with AI agents and
    an AGENTS.md for contributors.
    (#111)
  • New tutorials on
    task dependencies,
    choosing a task manager
    and extending the FastAPI app.
    (#109,
    #111)
  • New comparison page placing the
    library next to Celery, RQ, arq and taskiq, with download numbers refreshed
    by a scheduled workflow, and a landing page rewritten around CPU bound work.
