Hey Folks- I have just pushed a new release of BackgrounDRb to rubyforge. It has some nice new features to allow for usage of your ActiveRecord Models within your worker classes.

I installed the plugin into my rails project using script/plugin and then ran rake backgroundrb:setup to copy the yml scripts.

It''s that time again friends. skaar has been at it again and has greatly improved the stability of the new system. And Ara Howard has helped a ton by working with us on the slave library to iron out the wrinkles./ The results is a lot nicer backgroundrb for everyone. I have to say another huge thanks to skaar. He has singlehandedly wrote almost all of this new version and many
