🍀 ⚡️ JobRunr and JobRunr Pro v8.0.0 ⚡️🍀

This release introduces Carbon Aware Job Processing—a new feature that optimizes job execution based on grid carbon intensity, helping reduce your application's environmental impact by running jobs when cleaner energy is available.

See the How To Reduce Your Carbon Impact With Carbon Aware Jobs guide on how to get started! For more in-depth information about the feature, please see the documentation at jobrunr.io.

🙏 A big thanks to MindWave and @SkourtsidisGiorgos as they contributed a large part of the Carbon Aware feature. We'd also like to thank all of the developers and companies who have tested early JobRunr v8 beta/release candidates.

We've also included several other improvements in v8. See our JobRunr v8 announcement blog post for an overview of all these features.

To upgrade from JobRunr v7.x, please follow the JobRunr v8 migration guide.
