  • When chords fail, correctly call errbacks. (#6814)

    We had a special case for calling errbacks when a chord failed which assumed they were old style. This change ensures that we call the proper errback dispatch method which understands new and old style errbacks, and adds test to confirm that things behave as one might expect now.

  • Avoid using the Event.isSet() deprecated alias. (#6824)

  • Reintroduce sys.argv default behaviour for Celery.start(). (#6825)
