+Since Sidekiq-Cron `v1.7.0`, you can use the natural-language formats supported by Fugit, such as:

+```ruby

 "every 3 hours"     # => '0 */3 * * *'
 ```
 
 See [the relevant part of Fugit documentation](https://github.com/floraison/fugit#fugitnat) for details.
 
+There are multiple modes that determine how natural-language cron strings will be parsed.
+
+1. `:single` (default)
+
+```ruby
+Sidekiq::Cron.configure do |config|
+  # Note: This doesn't need to be specified since it's the default.
+  config.natural_cron_parsing_mode = :single
+end
+```
+
+This parses the first possible cron line from the given string and then ignores any additional cron lines.

 Note that if you plan to schedule jobs with second precision you may need to override the default schedule poll interval so it is lower than the interval of your jobs:
 
 ```ruby
-Sidekiq::Options[:cron_poll_interval] = 10
+Sidekiq::Cron.configure do |config|
+  config.cron_poll_interval = 10
+end
 ```
 
 The default value at time of writing is 30 seconds. See [under the hood](#under-the-hood) for more details.
 
+### Namespacing
+
+#### Default namespace
+
+When not giving a namespace, the `default` one will be used.
+
+In the case you'd like to change this value, you can change it via the following configuration flag:
+
+```ruby
+Sidekiq::Cron.configure do |config|
+  config.default_namespace = 'statistics'
+end
+```
+
+#### Renaming namespace
+
+If you rename the namespace of a job that is already running, the gem will not automatically delete the cron job associated with the old namespace. This means you could end up with two cron jobs running simultaneously.
+
+To avoid this, it is recommended to delete all existing cron jobs associated with the old namespace before making the change. You can achieve this with the following code:
+
+```ruby
+Sidekiq::Cron::Job.all('YOUR_OLD_NAMESPACE_NAME').each { |job| job.destroy }
+```
+
+#### Available namespaces
+
+By default, Sidekiq Cron uses the available_namespaces configuration option to determine which namespaces your application utilizes. The default namespace (`"default"`, by default) is always included in the list of available namespaces.
+
+If you want Sidekiq Cron to automatically detect existing namespaces from the Redis database, you can set `available_namespaces` to the special option `:auto`.
+
+If available_namespaces is explicitly set and a job is created with an unexpected namespace, a warning will be printed, and the job will be assigned to the default namespace.
+
+#### Migrating to 2.3
+
+As discussed in [this issue](https://github.com/sidekiq-cron/sidekiq-cron/issues/516), the approach introduced in Sidekiq Cron 2.0 for determining available namespaces using the `KEYS` command is not acceptable. Therefore, starting from version 2.3, namespacing has been reworked:
+
+- If you were not using the namespacing feature, no action is required. You can even remove `available_namespaces = %w[default]`, as it is now the default.
+
+- If you were using the namespacing feature and explicitly specified available namespaces as a list, no changes are needed.
+
+- If you were using the namespacing feature and relied on automatic namespace inference, you should either specify all used namespaces explicitly or set `available_namespaces` to `:auto` to maintain automatic detection. However, note that this approach does not scale well (see the referenced issue for details).
+
+#### Usage
+
+When creating a new job, you can optionally give a `namespace` attribute, and then you can pass it too in the `find` or `destroy` methods.
+
+```ruby
+Sidekiq::Cron::Job.create(
+  name: 'Hard worker - every 5min',
+  namespace: 'Foo',
+  cron: '*/5 * * * *',
+  class: 'HardWorker'
+)
+# INFO: Cron Jobs - add job with name Hard worker - every 5min in the namespace Foo
+
+# Without specifying the namespace, Sidekiq::Cron use the `default` one, therefore `count` return 0.
+Sidekiq::Cron::Job.count
+#=> 0
+
+# Searching in the job's namespace returns 1.
+Sidekiq::Cron::Job.count 'Foo'
+#=> 1
+
+# Same applies to `all`. Without a namespace, no jobs found.
+Sidekiq::Cron::Job.all
+
+# But giving the job's namespace returns it.
+Sidekiq::Cron::Job.all 'Foo'
+#=> [#<Sidekiq::Cron::Job:0x00007f7848a326a0 ... @name="Hard worker - every 5min", @namespace="Foo", @cron="*/5 * * * *", @klass="HardWorker", @status="enabled" ... >]
+
+# If you'd like to get all the jobs across all the namespaces then pass an asterisk:
+Sidekiq::Cron::Job.all '*'
+#=> [#<Sidekiq::Cron::Job ...>]

+job = Sidekiq::Cron::Job.find('Hard worker - every 5min', 'Foo').first

+The key distinction lies in how these jobs are managed.
+When a schedule is loaded, any stale `schedule` jobs are automatically removed to ensure synchronization within the schedule.
+The `dynamic` jobs remain unaffected by this process.

 ### How to start scheduling?

 Sidekiq-Cron is checking jobs to be enqueued every 30s by default, you can change it by setting:
 
 ```ruby
-Sidekiq::Options[:cron_poll_interval] = 10
+Sidekiq::Cron.configure do |config|
+  config.cron_poll_interval = 10
+end
+```
+
+When Sidekiq (and Sidekiq-Cron) is not used in zero-downtime deployments, after the deployment is done Sidekiq-Cron starts to catch up. It will consider older jobs that missed their schedules during that time. By default, only jobs that should have started less than 1 minute ago are considered. This is problematic for some jobs, e.g., jobs that run once a day. If on average Sidekiq is shut down for 10 minutes during deployments, you can configure Sidekiq-Cron to consider jobs that were about to be scheduled during that time:
+
+```ruby
+Sidekiq::Cron.configure do |config|
+  config.reschedule_grace_period = 600 # 10 minutes in seconds
+end
 ```
 
 Sidekiq-Cron is safe to use with multiple Sidekiq processes or nodes. It uses a Redis sorted set to determine that only the first process who asks can enqueue scheduled jobs into the queue.
 
-When running with many Sidekiq processes, the polling can add significant load to Redis. You can disable polling on some processes by setting `Sidekiq::Options[:cron_poll_interval] = 0` on these processes.

+## Testing your configuration

+You can test your application's configuration by loading the schedule in your test suite. Below is an example using RSpec in a Rails project:
+
+```ruby
+# spec/cron_schedule_spec.rb
+require "rails_helper"
+
+RSpec.describe "Cron Schedule" do
+  let(:schedule_loader) { Sidekiq::Cron::ScheduleLoader.new }
+  let(:all_jobs) { Sidekiq::Cron::Job.all }
+
+  # Confirms that `config.cron_schedule_file` points to a real file.
+  it "has a schedule file" do
+    expect(schedule_loader).to have_schedule_file
+  end
+
+  # Confirms that no jobs in the schedule have an invalid cron string.
+  it "does not return any errors" do
+    expect(schedule_loader.load_schedule).to be_empty
+  end
+
+  # May be subject to churn, but adds confidence.
+  it "adds the expected number of jobs" do
+    schedule_loader.load_schedule
+    expect(all_jobs.size).to eq 5
+  end
+
+  # Confirms that all job classes exist.
+  it "has a valid class for each added job" do
+    schedule_loader.load_schedule
+    # Shows that all classes exist (as we can constantize the names without raising).
+    job_classes = all_jobs.map { |job| job.klass.constantize }
+    # Naive check that classes are sidekiq jobs (as they all have `.perfrom_async`).
+    expect(job_classes).to all(respond_to(:perform_async))

+### Using Docker
+
+This project uses [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) in order to orchestrate containers and get the test suite running on you local machine, and here you find the commands to run in order to get a complete environment to build and test this gem:
+
+1. Build the Docker image (only the first time):
+```
+docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml build
+```
+
+2. Run the test suite:
+```
+docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml run --rm tests
+```
+
+_This command will download the first time the project's dependencies (Redis so far), create the containers and run the default command to run the tests._
+
+**Running other commands**
+
+In the case you need to run a command in the gem's container, you would do it like so:
+
+```
+docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml run --rm tests <HERE IS YOUR COMMAND>
+```
+_Note that `tests` is the Docker Compose service name defined in the `docker/docker-compose.yml` file._
+
+**Running a single test file**
+
+Given you only want to run the tests from the `test/unit/web_extension_test.rb` file, you need to pass its path with the `TEST` env variable, so here is the command:
+
+```
+docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml run --rm --env TEST=test/unit/web_extension_test.rb tests
+```
