 Change history
================

This document contains change notes for bugfix releases in the 3.1.x series
(Cipater), please see :ref:`whatsnew-3.1` for an overview of what's
new in Celery 3.1.

.. _version-3.1.4:

3.1.4
=====

- Now depends on :mod:`kombu` 3.0.5

- Now depends on :mod:`billiard` 3.3.0.7

- Worker would accidentally set a default socket timeout of 5 seconds.

- Django: Fixup now sets the default app so that threads will use
  the same app instance (e.g. for manage.py runserver).

- Worker: Fixed Unicode error crash at startup.

- Calling ``.apply_async`` on an empty chain now works again (Issue #1650).

- The ``celery multi show`` command now generates the same arguments
  as the start command does.

- The ``--app`` argument could end up using a module object instead
  of an app instance (with a resulting crash).

- Fixed a syntax error problem in the celerybeat init script.

    Fix contributed by Vsevolod.

- Tests now passing on PyPy 1.1 and 1.2.

- Fixed compatibility problem with Python 2.7.0 - 2.7.5 (Issue #1637)

    ``unpack_from`` started supporting ``memoryview`` arguments
    in Python 2.7.6.

- Worker: :option:`-B` argument accidentally closed files used
  for logging.

- Task decorated tasks now keep their docstring (Issue #1636)

- Now depends on :mod:`billiard` 3.3.0.6

- No longer needs the billiard C extension to be installed.

- The worker silently ignored task errors.

  when no database backend specified.

    Fix contributed by j0hnsmith

- Prefork pool: Now using ``_multiprocessing.read`` with ``memoryview``
  if available.

- ``close_open_fds`` now uses ``os.closerange`` if available.

- ``get_fdmax`` now takes value from ``sysconfig`` if possible.

.. _version-3.1.1:

3.1.1
=====
:release-date: 2013-11-11 06:30 P.M UTC

- Now depends on :mod:`billiard` 3.3.0.4.

- Python 3: Fixed compatibility issues.

- Windows:  Accidentally showed warning that the billiard C extension
  was not installed (Issue #1630).

- Django: Tutorial updated with a solution that sets a default
  :envvar:`DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE` so that it doesn't have to be typed
  in with the :program:`celery` command.

    Also fixed typos in the tutorial, and added the settings
    required to use the Django database backend.

    Thanks to Chris Ward, orarbel.

- Django: Fixed a problem when using the Django settings in Django 1.6.

- Django: Fixup should not be applied if the django loader is active.

  compatibility prefork pool implementation.
