830
831 ### Breaking Changes
832
833 - `FullPool` event is now renamed to `busy`.
834 - `maxInactiveTime` on `ThreadWorker` default behavior is now changed, if you want to keep the old behavior set `killBehavior` to `KillBehaviors.HARD`.
835 _Find more details on our JSDoc._
836
837 - `maxTasks` option on `FixedThreadPool` and `DynamicThreadPool` is now removed since is no more needed.
838
839 - We changed some internal structures, but you shouldn't be too affected by them as these are internal changes.
840
841 ### Pool options types declaration merge
842
843 `FixedThreadPoolOptions` and `DynamicThreadPoolOptions` type declarations have been merged to `PoolOptions<Worker>`.
844
845 #### New `export` strategy
846
847 ```js
848 // Before
849 const DynamicThreadPool = require('poolifier/lib/dynamic')
850 // After
851 const { DynamicThreadPool } = require('poolifier/lib/dynamic')
852 ```
853
854 But you should always prefer just using
855
856 ```js
857 const { DynamicThreadPool } = require('poolifier')
858 ```
859
860 #### New type definitions for input data and response
861
862 For cluster worker and worker-thread pools, you can now only send and receive structured-cloneable data.
863 _This is not a limitation by poolifier but Node.js._
864
865 #### Public property replacements
866
867 `numWorkers` property is now `numberOfWorkers`
868
869 #### Internal (protected) properties and methods renaming
870
871 These properties are not intended for end users
872
873 - `id` => `nextMessageId`
874
875 These methods are not intended for end users
876
877 - `_chooseWorker` => `chooseWorker`
878 - `_newWorker` => `createWorker`
879 - `_execute` => `internalExecute`
880 - `_chooseWorker` => `chooseWorker`
881 - `_checkAlive` => `checkAlive`
882 - `_run` => `run`
883 - `_runAsync` => `runAsync`
884
885 ## [1.1.0] - 2020-05-21
