poormanscron 6.x-2.0-beta1

Initial beta release of the 2.0 version of Poormanscron. This version is intended to be a backport of the automatic cron-running functionality in Drupal 7 (#331611: Add a poormanscron-like feature to core). This module also includes the performance improvements of #566494: Running cron in a shutdown function breaks the site and only runs through an AJAX callback that is triggered via JavaScript only when necessary.

Upgrading

Upgrading from the 6.x-1.x versions of poormanscron is fully supported. Note that there is no longer an admin/settings/poormanscron with settings for Poormanscron. There is only the Automatically run cron setting on your admin/settings/site-information page.

When you upgrade from this version to Drupal 7, there is nothing you will have to do and you won't even need this module anymore.
