407
408 ## [2.0.2] - 2021-05-12
409
410 ### Bug fixes
411
412 - Fix `busy` event emission on fixed pool type
413
414 ## [2.0.1] - 2021-03-16
415
416 ### Bug fixes
417
418 - Check if pool options are properly set.
419 - `busy` event is emitted on all pool types.
420
421 ## [2.0.0] - 2021-03-01

423 ### Bug fixes
424
425 - Now a thread/process by default is not deleted when the task submitted take more time than maxInactiveTime configured (issue #70).
426
427 ### Breaking Changes
428
429 - `FullPool` event is now renamed to `busy`.
430 - `maxInactiveTime` on `ThreadWorker` default behavior is now changed, if you want to keep the old behavior set `killBehavior` to `KillBehaviors.HARD`.
431 _Find more details on our JSDoc._
432
433 - `maxTasks` option on `FixedThreadPool` and `DynamicThreadPool` is now removed since is no more needed.
434
435 - We changed some internal structures, but you shouldn't be too affected by them as these are internal changes.
436
437 ### Pool options types declaration merge
438
439 `FixedThreadPoolOptions` and `DynamicThreadPoolOptions` type declarations have been merged to `PoolOptions<Worker>`.
440
441 #### New `export` strategy
442
443 ```js
444 // Before
445 const DynamicThreadPool = require('poolifier/lib/dynamic')
446 // After
447 const { DynamicThreadPool } = require('poolifier/lib/dynamic')
448 ```
449
450 But you should always prefer just using
451
452 ```js
453 const { DynamicThreadPool } = require('poolifier')
454 ```
455
456 #### New type definitions for input data and response
457
458 For cluster worker and worker-thread pools, you can now only send and receive serializable data.
459 _This is not a limitation by poolifier but NodeJS._
460
461 #### Public property replacements
462
463 `numWorkers` property is now `numberOfWorkers`
464
465 #### Internal (protected) properties and methods renaming
466
467 These properties are not intended for end users
468
469 - `id` => `nextMessageId`
470
471 These methods are not intended for end users
472
473 - `_chooseWorker` => `chooseWorker`
474 - `_newWorker` => `createWorker`
475 - `_execute` => `internalExecute`
476 - `_chooseWorker` => `chooseWorker`
477 - `_checkAlive` => `checkAlive`
478 - `_run` => `run`
479 - `_runAsync` => `runAsync`
480
481 ## [1.1.0] - 2020-05-21
482
483 ### Added
484
485 - ThreadWorker support async functions as option
486 - Various external library patches
487
488 ## [1.0.0] - 2020-01-24
