Today we released the 1.0.0 version of django-background-tasks

Today we released the 1.0.0 version of [django-background-tasks](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-background-tasks) which is an adopted and adapted version of the outdated and unmaintained [django-background-task](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-background-task) repository from John Montgomery. To avoid conflicts on PyPI we renamed the package to django-background-tasks (plural). For an easy upgrade/migration from django-background-task to django-background-tasks, the internal module structure were extened but the API left untouched. The new package has a full Django compatibility from version 1.4 LTS up to the new 1.8 LTS (Python 2 + 3) through [django-compat](https://github.com/arteria/django-compat). All relevant Pull Requests from the original repo where merged and new features added. Please feel free to file any issues on the
