197 ### Bug fixes
198
199 - Now a thread/process by default is not deleted when the task submitted take more time than maxInactiveTime configured (issue #70).
200
201 ### Breaking Changes
202
203 - `FullPool` event is now renamed to `busy`.
204 - `maxInactiveTime` on `ThreadWorker` default behavior is now changed, if you want to keep the old behavior set `killBehavior` to `KillBehaviors.HARD`.
205 _Find more details on our JSDoc._
206
207 - `maxTasks` option on `FixedThreadPool` and `DynamicThreadPool` is now removed since is no more needed.
208
209 - We changed some internal structures, but you shouldn't be too affected by them as these are internal changes.
210
211 ### Pool options types declaration merge
212
213 `FixedThreadPoolOptions` and `DynamicThreadPoolOptions` type declarations have been merged to `PoolOptions<Worker>`.
214
215 #### New `export` strategy
216
217 ```js
218 // Before
219 const DynamicThreadPool = require('poolifier/lib/dynamic')
220 // After
221 const { DynamicThreadPool } = require('poolifier/lib/dynamic')
222 ```
223
224 But you should always prefer just using
225
226 ```js
227 const { DynamicThreadPool } = require('poolifier')
228 ```
229
230 #### New type definitions for input data and response
231
232 For cluster worker and worker-thread pools, you can now only send and receive serializable data.
233 _This is not a limitation by poolifier but NodeJS._
234
235 #### Public property replacements
236
237 `numWorkers` property is now `numberOfWorkers`
238
239 #### Internal (protected) properties and methods renaming
240
241 These properties are not intended for end users
242
243 - `id` => `nextMessageId`
244
245 These methods are not intended for end users
246
247 - `_chooseWorker` => `chooseWorker`
248 - `_newWorker` => `createWorker`
249 - `_execute` => `internalExecute`
250 - `_chooseWorker` => `chooseWorker`
251 - `_checkAlive` => `checkAlive`
252 - `_run` => `run`
253 - `_runAsync` => `runAsync`
254
255 ## [1.1.0] - 2020-05-21
256
257 ### Added
258
259 - ThreadWorker support async functions as option
260 - Various external library patches
261
262 ## [1.0.0] - 2020-01-24
263
264 ### Added
265
266 - FixedThreadPool implementation
267 - DynamicThreadPool implementation
268 - WorkerThread implementation to improve developer experience
