The most significant change is replacing library for background jobs. So now instead [resque](https://github.com/defunkt/resque) we use __[sidekiq](http://sidekiq.org/)__.    ### Running builds: Earlier you have one resque worker which run one build at time. Even if you has 3 projects - only one is running at same time. With migration to sidekiq we changed logic a bit. So now application can run one build per project simultaneously. If you have more then one projects running with GitLab CI - it will save you a lot of time. ### Scheduled builds: Now scheduled builds are triggered by cron task. This task starts every hour and check for scheduled builds. ### Links: [Update from 1.x to 2.0](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-ci/wiki/Migrate-from-1.x-to-2.0) [Setup GitLab CI](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-ci/blob/2-0-stable/doc/installation.md) ## Other news: __GitLab v4.1 will be released at Jan 22th.__ We replaced resque with sidekiq in GitLab too. Now push events are processed much faster. Also we added a Public Area, fixed a lot of bugs and improved performance of application. See [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/CHANGELOG) for full list of changes. According to [gitlab_meta](http://rubygems.org/gems/gitlab_meta) gem amount of GitLab v4.0 installations reached 9k. It a really good news for us. Thank you for using our software.
