Release Name: 0.95.0
Notes:
Unicorn is a HTTP server for Rack applications designed to only serve
fast clients on low-latency, high-bandwidth connections and take
advantage of features in Unix/Unix-like kernels. Slow clients should
only be served by placing a reverse proxy capable of fully buffering
both the the request and response in between Unicorn and slow clients.

* mongrel-unicorn@rubyforge.org
* git://git.bogomips.org/unicorn.git
Changes:
Mostly internal cleanups and documentation updates. Irrelevant
stacktraces from client disconnects/errors while reading
"rack.input" are now cleared to avoid unnecessary noise. If
user switching in workers is used, ownership of logs is now
preserved when reopening worker logs (send USR1 only to the the
master in this case). The timeout config no longer affects long
after_fork hooks or application startups.
New features include the addition of the :umask option for the
"listen" config directive and error reporting for non-portable
socket options.
No ponies have ever been harmed in our development.

We do not hide unforseen exceptions, as that could cause us to
waste precious time attempting to continue processing after
errors.

socket_helper: do not hide errors when setting socket options
Since they're all optional, make them non-fatal, but make sure
we log them so we can diagnose what (if anything) is going
wrong.

replace "rescue => e" with "rescue Object => e"
"Object" is needless noise and some folks are annoyed by
seeing it.

tee_input: expand client error handling
First move it to a separate method, this allows subclasses to
reuse our error handler. Additionally, capture HttpParserError
as well since backtraces are worthless when a client sends us
a bad request, too.

test_server: ensure stderr is written to before reading
This works around a race condition caused by the server
closing the connection before writing out to stderr in
the ensure block. So to ensure we've waited on the server
to write to the log file, just send another HTTP request
since we know our test server only processes requests
serially.

const: no need to freeze HTTP_EXPECT
We never set this as a hash key, so there's no performance
gain from having a frozen string.

with Rails.

old_rails/static: avoid freezing strings
No need to freeze them unless we're assigning new hash
values (PATH_INFO is already hashed when we assign it).

preserve user/group ownership when reopening logs
This is only supported when SIGUSR1 is sent only to the master
process (which then resends SIGUSR1 to the workers).
Since we only added support for user/group switching in the
workers, we now chown any log files upon switching users so the
master can pick up and chown the log files later on. Thus
we can avoid having to restart workers because they fail to
rotate log files on their own.

configurator: listen :umask parameter for UNIX sockets
Typically UNIX domain sockets are created with more liberal
file permissions than the rest of the application. By default,
we create UNIX domain sockets to be readable and writable by
all local users to give them the same accessibility as
locally-bound TCP listeners.
This only has an effect on UNIX domain sockets.

Unicorn::ClientDisconnect.

raise Unicorn::ClientShutdown if client aborts in TeeInput
Leaving the EOFError exception as-is bad because most
applications/frameworks run an application-wide exception
handler to pretty-print and/or log the exception with a huge
backtrace.
Since there's absolutely nothing we can do in the server-side
app to deal with clients prematurely shutting down, having a
backtrace does not make sense. Having a backtrace can even be
harmful since it creates unnecessary noise for application
engineers monitoring or tracking down real bugs.

tee_input: don't shadow struct members
It's confusing when a local variable reuses the same name
as a struct member.

tee_input: better premature disconnect handling
Just let the error bubble all the way up to where Unicorn calls
process_client where it'll be appropriately handled.
Additionally, we'l just check the return value of tee() in
ensure_length and avoid it if it nils on us.

Load Unicorn constants when building app
This will benefit users of a copy-on-write-friendly memory
manager provided with Ruby Enterprise Edition. Additionally,
this will the reduce maintenance impact on Rainbows! in the future
since load/require are not thread-safe under 1.9.

local.mk.sample: steal some updates from Rainbows!
Rack 1.0.1 is the current version, also make it easier to add
more gems library paths in the future for testing even though
Rack is the only thing we depend on right now. While we're at
it, simplify and make it easier to modify for use with alternate
prefixes.

don't nuke children for long after_fork and app loads
Sometimes app loads and after_fork hooks can take a long time,
even longer than shorter timeouts. Since timeouts are only
meant for application processing when clients are involved,
we won't nuke workers that have never chmodded before.
