Gearman News and Releases

The past week has brought a surge of Gearman related releases. They include:

C Server and Library
Perl Server and Modules
Gearman::XS Perl Module (based on C library)
PHP Extension (based on C library)
PHP Extension Documentation
Drizzle UDFs
PostgreSQL UDFs
MySQL UDFs

Some of these releases were driven by the C API changes I made to clean a few things up, but a fair amount of functionality was added to the C library and C based modules (like timeouts and non-blocking API clients and workers). The Perl server included a number of algorithm improvements in worker selection. I’ll be taking a closer look at those and including them in the C server for the next release. Rasmus Lerdorf took Gearman for a spin in PHP, and a Gearman implementation in Erlang was even announced this week. Thanks to everyone in the Gearman community for all your hard work!
