RubyForge: Rainbows!: File Release Notes and Changelog

Notes:
Release Name: 0.94.0

Notes:
\Rainbows! is an HTTP server for sleepy Rack applications.  It is based on
Unicorn, but designed to handle applications that expect long
request/response times and/or slow clients.  For Rack applications not
heavily bound by slow external network dependencies, consider Unicorn
instead as it simpler and easier to debug.

* rainbows-talk@rubyforge.org
* git://git.bogomips.org/rainbows.git

Changes:

This release fixes corrupted large response bodies for Ruby 1.8
users with the WriterThreadSpawn and WriterThreadPool models
introduced in 0.93.0.  This bug did not affect Ruby 1.9 users
nor the users of any older concurrency models.

There is also a strange new Rainbows::Sendfile middleware.  It
is used to negate the effect of Rack::Contrib::Sendfile, if that
makes sense.  See the RDoc or
http://rainbows.rubyforge.org/Rainbows/Sendfile.html for all the
gory details.

Finally, the RDoc for our test suite is on the website:

  http://rainbows.rubyforge.org/Test_Suite.html

I wrote this document back when the project started but
completely forgot to tell RDoc about it.  Personally, this
test suite is one of my favorite parts of the project.

    doc: update test suite README and link with RDoc
    
    Apparently this document was completely forgotten over the
    course of development and never properly put on the website.
    
    The test suite is one of my favorite parts of Rainbows! and
    allows us to test the server as real clients would hit it.

    cleanup makefiles, move publish_doc into main
    
    Since the docs for this project are hosted on Rubyforge.org
    (currently Apache), it can't use the nginx "gzip_static on"
    configuration I normally use on on *.bogomips.org.
    
    I never used the irb/sh wrappers in local.mk, either, and
    the isolate bits have all been moved inside t/

    tests: make -C $MODEL.tNNNN-foo.sh work again out-of-the box
    
    It was missing dependencies on the first run

    tests: cleanup isolate usage
    
    We don't need tmp/ in our top level directory

    tests: disable async_sinatra test for Ruby 1.9.2
    
    Sinatra 0.9.4 does not appear to be compatible with
    Ruby 1.9.2...

    local.mk.sample: add a hint for TMPDIR
    
    It makes tests run significantly faster on a beefy box.

    local.mk.sample: update for running 1.9.2 (preview3) tests
    
    Now that 1.9.2 preview3 is available and usable, it'll
    be added to the list of Rubies we run and officially
    support.

    test-lib: set NO_PROXY to counter http_proxy
    
    Some testers (like myself) use http_proxy when isolating
    gems to avoid wasting bandwidth, but we don't proxy requests
    to localhost.

    depend on Isolate ~> 2.0.2 for development
    
    It's useful given all the Gems we support but don't have hard
    installation dependencies on.

    add Rainbows::Sendfile middleware
    
    This lets most concurrency models understand and process
    X-Sendfile efficiently with IO.copy_stream under Ruby 1.9.
    EventMachine can take advantage of this middleware under
    both Ruby 1.8 and Ruby 1.9.

    writer_thread_*: fix static file response under 1.8
    
    While these models are designed to work with IO.copy_stream
    under Ruby 1.9, it should be possible to run them under Ruby
    1.8 without returning corrupt responses.  The large file
    response test is beefed up to compare SHA1 checksums of
    the served file, not just sizes.

    test-lib: remove ancient wait_for_pid() function
    
    It hasn't been used since the first month of development
    when we started using FIFOs
