Important notes

• Database result backend related setting names changed from sqlalchemy_* -> database_*.

  The sqlalchemy_ named settings won’t work at all in this version so you need to rename them. This is a last minute change, and as they were not supported in 3.1 we will not be providing aliases.

• chain(A, B, C) now works the same way as A | B | C.

  This means calling chain() might not actually return a chain, it can return a group or any other type depending on how the workflow can be optimized.
