Release notes
Changes since DRUPAL-6--2-0-BETA1:

- by Dave Reid: Updated README.
- by Dave Reid: Fixed no array returned from poormanscron_update_6200().
- by Dave Reid: Updated documentation styles.
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.
