jobber

Bugfixes:

• (#301) High CPU usage after calling test command

Bugfixes:

• (#284) cmd/test: Calling this on long-running jobs causes commands to time out thereafter
• (#285) jobberrunner: Too much output from a job can cause jobberrunner to run out of memory
• (#288) cmd/reload: Race condition when reloading with file run log

Enhancements:

• (#277) Make filesystem paths changeable via cmdline args

Bugfixes:

• None

This release doesn't have any bugfixes or feature changes. Instead:

• Now using GitHub Actions to build packages and run tests
• Now using Go modules to manage dependencies

Jobber 1.4 is a large release. Jobber now supports "result sinks" --- configuration options that let you direct job results to files, programs, or network sockets. Also, Jobber can now be controlled via a network socket using JSON-RPC. This makes it easy to run Jobber in a Docker container and control it from outside the container.

Enhancements:

• (#25) pref/jobOutput: Write job output to disk.
• (#182) Direct passthru of stdout/stderr from tasks to parent (for Docker)
• (#183) jobberrunner: Support receiving commands from network socket in JSON
• (#184) cmd/set_job: Make
• (#185) cmd/delete_job: Make
• (#186) Use concept of "result sinks" for result notifications and writing output to disk
• (#187) Make result sink that pushes results over socket connection
• (#216) Reduce verbosity of jobberrunner task output

Bugfixes: none

This release adds support for FreeBSD.

No features changes, bugfixes, or other code changes from v1.0.3.1. This version was built with the build script changes that enable making Alpine 3.3 packages.

No features changes, bugfixes, or other (significant) code changes from v1.0.3. This version was built with the build script changes that enable making CentOS 6.7 RPMs.

Changed the call to 'su' so that it works on Alpine Linux (and other distros whose 'su' takes only short arguments).
