621
622 - Fix `busy` event emission on fixed pool type
623
624 ## [2.0.1] - 2021-03-16
625
626 ### Bug fixes
627
628 - Check if pool options are properly set.
629 - `busy` event is emitted on all pool types.
630
631 ## [2.0.0] - 2021-03-01
632
633 ### Bug fixes
634
635 - Now a thread/process by default is not deleted when the task submitted take more time than maxInactiveTime configured (issue #70).
636
637 ### Breaking Changes
638
639 - `FullPool` event is now renamed to `busy`.
640 - `maxInactiveTime` on `ThreadWorker` default behavior is now changed, if you want to keep the old behavior set `killBehavior` to `KillBehaviors.HARD`.
641 _Find more details on our JSDoc._
642
643 - `maxTasks` option on `FixedThreadPool` and `DynamicThreadPool` is now removed since is no more needed.
644
645 - We changed some internal structures, but you shouldn't be too affected by them as these are internal changes.
646
647 ### Pool options types declaration merge
648
649 `FixedThreadPoolOptions` and `DynamicThreadPoolOptions` type declarations have been merged to `PoolOptions<Worker>`.
650
651 #### New `export` strategy
652
653 ```js
654 // Before
655 const DynamicThreadPool = require('poolifier/lib/dynamic')
656 // After
657 const { DynamicThreadPool } = require('poolifier/lib/dynamic')
658 ```
659
660 But you should always prefer just using
661
662 ```js
663 const { DynamicThreadPool } = require('poolifier')
664 ```
665
666 #### New type definitions for input data and response
667
668 For cluster worker and worker-thread pools, you can now only send and receive structured-cloneable data.
669 _This is not a limitation by poolifier but NodeJS._
670
671 #### Public property replacements
672
673 `numWorkers` property is now `numberOfWorkers`
674
675 #### Internal (protected) properties and methods renaming
676
677 These properties are not intended for end users
