Even though Holy Week is fast approaching and I will be tied up with real world work, I have still made quite a bit of progress on Updater. Everything else is taking a back seat at the moment because I need this library for everything else I want to do. There are just a few more things to do before I will put out a 1.0 release.
- Client and server setup Automation (85%) mostly this is a matter of testing. I think most of the functionality is there, but I don't have enough tests to prove that it works right. This also needs heavy documentation because it is the piece that I expect most users will want to know about.
- Write the
#formethod. This method allows a target to ask for all the updates that will hit it and to potentiality name those targets. This is essential for cases where the target need to modify or abort a pending update. For example when a blog post that was to be published tomorrow gets pushed back to Thursday, the job intended to make it go live needs to have its time reset.
This will get things to a 1.0 release. "Real Soon Now" plans include:
- MongoDB Support
- Reschedule in the Process Library
- HTTP Interface
- ActiveRecord 3.0 support
