sTask v2.0.0: EvoUI Manager, Live Progress, Supervisors, and Full dDocs Guides

sTask v2.0.0 is a major release of the Evolution CMS background task management package. It moves the manager experience to EvoUI and Livewire, improves scheduling and diagnostics, adds live progress polling, and introduces a proper supervisor model for continuously running processes.

New manager interface

• A redesigned EvoUI/Livewire manager module with Dashboard, Tasks, Workers, Logs, and Statistics tabs.
• Server-side filtering and sorting for table and list views.
• Read-only task detail modals available by double-clicking task rows throughout the module.
• Adaptive HTTP polling for live task progress.
• Emergency stop actions for active tasks.
• Compact task and log tables with clearer duration, progress, user, and worker information.

Scheduling and supervisors

sTask 2.0 supports manual, once, periodic, regular time-window, and supervisor schedules. Long-running processes now use a dedicated supervisor contract with stable keys, heartbeats, restart and stop states, PID tracking, uptime, diagnostics, and the new s_supervisor_states table.

Supervisor lifecycle events create useful task records without creating a new queued task every minute, which makes production monitoring much cleaner.

Worker and task improvements

• Duplicate active tasks with the same identifier, action, and normalized metadata can be suppressed.
• The worker registry now has better titles, filters, schedules, and default discovery.
• BaseWorker extension points and task action conventions were updated.
• Worker actions now follow the task{StudlyAction} naming convention.
• Progress, result, metadata, error handling, and running task durations were improved.

Documentation and requirements

The release ships with a complete practical sTask 2.x guide in dDocs: 17 structured pages for administrators, integrators, PHP developers, and production operators. Documentation is synchronized across Ukrainian, English, Russian, Polish, German, and French.

• PHP ^8.4
• Evolution CMS ^3.5.7
• EvoUI ^1.0.6
