Notes:

Release Name: 3.0.0pre1

Notes:
Unicorn is an 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.

Changes:

Rewindable "rack.input" may be disabled via the
"rewindable_input false" directive in the configuration file.
This will violate Rack::Lint for Rack 1.x applications, but
can reduce I/O for applications that do not need it.

There are also internal cleanups and enhancements for future
versions of Rainbows!

This makes things easier for Rainbows! which will need to extends these classes. commit 3b544fb2c0e4a1e14a7bcb752a8af9819b5aaeb2 Author: Eric Wong Date: Thu Nov 11 07:31:01 2010 +0800 http_parser: ensure keepalive is disabled when reset We'll need this in Rainbows! commit a89ccf321224f3248ddd00bb0edb320311604e4e Author: Eric Wong Date: Thu Nov 11 02:16:50 2010 +0800 configurator: enable "rewindable_input" directive This allows users to override the current Rack spec and disable the rewindable input requirement. This can allow applications to use less I/O to minimize the performance impact when processing uploads. commit 7d44b5384758aeddcb49d7606a9908308df7c698 Author: Eric Wong Date: Thu Nov 11 01:13:12 2010 +0800 add stream_input class and build tee_input on it We will eventually expose a Unicorn::StreamInput object as "rack.input" for Rack 2.x applications. StreamInput allows applications to avoid buffering input to disk, removing the (potentially expensive) rewindability requirement of Rack 1.x. TeeInput is also rewritten to build off StreamInput for simplicity. The only regression is that TeeInput#rewind forces us to consume an unconsumed stream before returning, a negligible price to pay for decreased complexity. commit 1493af7cc23afecc8592ce44f5226476afccd212 Author: Eric Wong Date: Thu Nov 11 07:17:19 2010 +0800 switch versions to 3.0.0pre Here are major, incompatible internal API changes. commit 8edcc3f9e1be9113685e61b9a83994a02d37c768 Author: Eric Wong Date: Sun Nov 7 10:21:43 2010 +0800 tee_input: switch to simpler API for parsing trailers Not that anybody uses trailers extensively, but it's good to know it's there. commit 60a9ec94f1f738f881e67f0a881c44c104f07c04 Author: Eric Wong Date: Sat Nov 6 10:30:44 2010 +0800 http_parser: add HttpParser#next? method An easy combination of the existing HttpParser#keepalive? and HttpParser#reset methods, this makes it easier to implement persistence. commit 7987e1a4001491f8a494f3926037f8cbee713263 Author: Eric Wong Date: Fri Sep 3 01:48:24 2010 +0000 enable HTTP keepalive support for all methods Yes, this means even POST/PUT bodies may be kept alive, but only if the body (and trailers) are fully-consumed. commit b45bf946545496cf8d69037113533d7a58ce7e20 Author: Eric Wong Date: Thu Oct 28 09:03:21 2010 +0000 t0012: fix race condition in reload We need to ensure the old worker is reaped before sending new requests intended for the new worker. commit 5ffc1f81c3f56d17ff3369f7514e978754840c29 Author: Eric Wong Date: Wed Oct 27 23:32:24 2010 +0000 unicorn 2.0.0 - mostly internal cleanups Despite the version number, this release mostly features internal cleanups for future versions of Rainbows!. User visible changes include reductions in CPU wakeups on idle sites using high timeouts. Barring possible portability issues due to the introduction of the kgio library, this release should be ready for all to use. However, 1.1.x (and possibly 1.0.x) will continue to be maintained. Unicorn 1.1.5 and 1.0.2 have also been released with bugfixes found during development of 2.0.0. commit a3b08e9411f1d958e2264329c67972541424ac35 Merge: 0692e8c 7f3ebe9 Author: Eric Wong Date: Wed Oct 27 23:31:41 2010 +0000 Merge branch '1.1.x-stable' * 1.1.x-stable: unicorn 1.1.5 doc: stop using deprecated rdoc CLI options gemspec: depend on Isolate 3.0.0 for dev configurator: reloading with unset values restores default configurator: use "__send__" instead of "send" Rakefile: capture prerelease tags Rakefile: don't post freshmeat on empty changelogs fix delays in signal handling commit 0692e8cb10dd27275f2de794ed6eba62e9918431 Merge: 4d493d8 ea975cc Author: Eric Wong Date: Wed Oct 27 23:31:38 2010 +0000 Merge branch 'maint' * maint: unicorn 1.0.2 doc: stop using deprecated rdoc CLI options gemspec: depend on Isolate 3.0.0 for dev configurator: reloading with unset values restores default configurator: use "__send__" instead of "send" Rakefile: capture prerelease tags Rakefile: don't post freshmeat on empty changelogs fix delays in signal handling SIGTTIN works after SIGWINCH commit 7f3ebe9213e09932cd0e8a2a82bfe2dd5430a824 Author: Eric Wong Date: Wed Oct 27 23:29:55 2010 +0000 unicorn 1.1.5 This maintenance release fixes several long-standing but recently-noticed bugs.

This applies to the majority of the configuration values with a few exceptions: * This only applies to stderr_path and stdout_path when daemonized (the usual case, they'll be redirected to "/dev/null"). When NOT daemonized, we cannot easily redirect back to the original stdout/stderr destinations. * Unsetting working_directory does not restore the original working directory where Unicorn was started. As far as we can tell unsetting this after setting it is rarely desirable and greatly increases the probability of user error.
