Upgrading from 0.5

If you are still using HangFire 0.5, you can not upgrade to version 0.8 directly, because there is probability that you lose some of your jobs. This version drops support for jobs based on BackgroundJob subclassing, so you need to do the following three-step process:

1. Upgrade to version 0.7.5 first (see also release notes for 0.7).
2. Add different implementation for your jobs using plain methods (see the guide) and wait until all old format jobs performed, don't forget to check scheduled jobs.
3. Upgrade to version 0.8 or latest and remove old job classes.
