281
282 - Now a thread/process by default is not deleted when the task submitted take more time than maxInactiveTime configured (issue #70).
283
284 ### Breaking Changes
285
286 - `FullPool` event is now renamed to `busy`.
287 - `maxInactiveTime` on `ThreadWorker` default behavior is now changed, if you want to keep the old behavior set `killBehavior` to `KillBehaviors.HARD`.
288 _Find more details on our JSDoc._
289
290 - `maxTasks` option on `FixedThreadPool` and `DynamicThreadPool` is now removed since is no more needed.
291
292 - We changed some internal structures, but you shouldn't be too affected by them as these are internal changes.
293
294 ### Pool options types declaration merge
295
296 `FixedThreadPoolOptions` and `DynamicThreadPoolOptions` type declarations have been merged to `PoolOptions<Worker>`.
297
298 #### New `export` strategy
299
300 ```js
301 // Before
302 const DynamicThreadPool = require('poolifier/lib/dynamic')
303 // After
304 const { DynamicThreadPool } = require('poolifier/lib/dynamic')
305 ```
306
307 But you should always prefer just using
308
309 ```js
310 const { DynamicThreadPool } = require('poolifier')
311 ```
312
313 #### New type definitions for input data and response
314
315 For cluster worker and worker-thread pools, you can now only send and receive serializable data.
316 _This is not a limitation by poolifier but NodeJS._
317
318 #### Public property replacements
319
320 `numWorkers` property is now `numberOfWorkers`
321
322 #### Internal (protected) properties and methods renaming
323
324 These properties are not intended for end users
325
326 - `id` => `nextMessageId`
327
328 These methods are not intended for end users
329
330 - `_chooseWorker` => `chooseWorker`
331 - `_newWorker` => `createWorker`
332 - `_execute` => `internalExecute`
333 - `_chooseWorker` => `chooseWorker`
334 - `_checkAlive` => `checkAlive`
335 - `_run` => `run`
336 - `_runAsync` => `runAsync`
337
338 ## [1.1.0] - 2020-05-21
339
340 ### Added
341
342 - ThreadWorker support async functions as option
343 - Various external library patches
344
345 ## [1.0.0] - 2020-01-24
346

350 - DynamicThreadPool implementation
