Scheduler 1.9.0-pl<br />
------------------<br />
Released on 2026-01-20<br /><br />
This release combines all changes from the separate versions previously maintained by modmore and @biz87 (found on Modstore) into a single codebase.<br /><br />
Version 1.9 includes all updates from both forks up to January 20, 2026.<br /><br />
Major Changes:<br /><br />
* **Fork Unification:** Merged all features and fixes from the modmore and @biz87 forks to ensure a single, consistent version moving forward.<br />
* **Recurring Tasks:** Tasks can now be set to repeat automatically after a successful run using the new automatic rescheduling feature. This was already possible in code, now also in the UI.<br />
* **Retry System:** Added the ability for failed tasks to retry automatically. This includes new settings for the maximum number of retries and the delay between attempts.<br />
* **Custom Notifications:** You can now customize the email template and subject line used for task failure alerts via system settings.<br /><br />
### General Improvements<br /><br />
* Fixed a race condition issue to ensure task statuses update correctly and safely if you have multiple triggers.<br />
* Added database indexes to help the system select and run pending tasks faster.<br />
* Improved memory management by cleaning up resources after every task execution.<br />
* Updated error handling to be more robust, catching both system errors and basic exceptions.<br />
* Improved compatibility with MODX 3 namespaced processors.<br />
* Fixed a timing bug where tasks were occasionally rounded up to the next minute incorrectly.<br />
* Added a new setting to limit how many tasks are processed in a single run.<br /><br />
### Interface and Developer Updates<br /><br />
* Added the retry count to the task history grid.<br />
* Added fields for max retries and retry delay to the task edit window.<br />
* Fixed the component icon in the main menu.<br />
* Made sTaskRun constants public and standardized the code style across the package.<br />
* Added a simpler way to set task keys when scheduling tasks through code.<br /><br />
