+# NetBox v4.4
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+## v4.4.0 (FUTURE)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### New Features
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+#### Background Jobs for Bulk Operations ([#19589](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/19589), [#19891](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/19891))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Most bulk operations, such as the import, modification, or deletion of objects can now be executed as a background job. This frees the user to continue working in NetBox while the bulk operation is processed. Once completed, the user will be notified of the job's result.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+#### Logging Mechanism for Background Jobs ([#19891](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/19816))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+A dedicated logging mechanism has been implemented for background jobs. Jobs can now easily record log messages by calling e.g. `self.logger.info("Log message")` under the `run()` method. These messages are displayed along with the job's resulting data. Supported log levels include `DEBUG`, `INFO`, `WARNING`, and `ERROR`.

|
|
+#### Changelog Comments ([#19713](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/19713))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+When creating, editing, or deleting objects in NetBox, users now have the option of providing a short message explaining the change. This message will be recorded on the resulting changelog records for all affected objects.
