hammer

# Changelog

## 4.0.0

## Changed

- Use a worker-pool for the backend (via poolboy),
  this avoids bottle-necking all traffic through a single hammer
  process, thus improving throughput for the system overall

## Added

- New configuration options for backends:
  - `:pool_size`, determines the number of workers in the pool (default 4)
  - `:pool_max_overflow`, maximum extra workers to be spawned when the
    system is under pressure (default 4)
- Multiple instances of the same backend! You can now have two ETS backends,
  fifteen Redis's, whatever you want

### Changed

- Require elixir >= 1.6
- Use a more sane supervision tree structure


## 2.1.0

## 2.0.0
