Creating tasks to support your development workflow has always been an easy thing to do with the Thor-based asgard ruby gem with its Loki files defining your tasks and their dependencies. asgard’s two big features are its ability to run dependencies to a task either serially or concurrently or a mix of both before running the target task. Now you can create a new category of tasks that run periodically using the new schedule keyword in your loki files.
