1.2.0-beta1

Release Notes

Hangfire.Autofac now resolves service instances using a child, tagged lifetime scope. Added shared instance and deterministic disposal features support allowed by the new JobActivatorScope abstraction introduced in Hangfire 1.5.0-beta1.

Please see the updated README.md file for the details.

Updating

Ownership of all the resolved components moved to Autofac, ownership in this case means the party which is responsible to call the Dispose method on IDisposable instances. Now Autofac itself is responsible for disposing the resolved components.

Previously job type instances (i.e. an instance of a type parameter passed to Enqueue, Schedule, etc. methods) were owned by Hangfire itself and thus the Dispose method was called by Hangfire. It was also beleived that your job type is responsible for disposing all the passed dependencies (through the constructor or properties).

Now, as the ownership moved, it is not necessary to call the Dispose method on the dependencies – it will be called automatically by Autofac (if appropriate). So your Dispose methods may be called multiple times, but generally this is not a problem.
