Release notes
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 5.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 6 or 7, there is nothing you will have to do and you won't even need this module anymore.
Changes since DRUPAL-5--1-2:
- by Dave Reid: Backported current DRUPAL-6--2 code to Drupal 5--2.
