v4.4.0
Introduces commands to pause and resume queues with deadlines. Currently this is supported by the Redis backends.
While a queue is paused no jobs will be processed; if you want jobs to be dropped while the queue is paused you will need to clear the queue manually before it resumes.
This resale also updates the linters used to their latest versions and consequently now requires at least Python 3.6.1 (up from 3.6).
