HangfireIO/Hangfire v1.1.0

1.1.0

on GitHub

This release introduced JSON serialization for background job arguments. All constraints caused by using TypeConverter were eliminated - you can use arrays, collections and custom classes/structs (see Newtonsoft.Json documentation for the details). JSON serialization does not introduce a breaking change - your old jobs will be handled gracefully using corresponding TypeConverter.

Major step was made to kick off dependency burden. To simplify the development and maintanance, Hangfire uses some external packages available on NuGet to perform serialization, logging, scheduling, etc. In earlier versions all of these packages installed together with the Hangfire.Core assembly, but in this release half of them (Microsoft.Owin, NCrontab, CronExpressionDescriptor) are being merged internally to the core assembly using ILMerge tool with /internalize switch. This change allows Hangfire to support more project environments.
