2009-10-15Rainbows! 0.2.0 v0.2.0
This release adds preliminary Rev support for network concurrency under Ruby 1.8 and Ruby 1.9. There are caveats to this model and reading the RDoc for Rainbows::Rev is recommended. Rainbows::AppPool Rack middleware is now available to limit application concurrency on a per-process basis independently of network concurrency. See the RDoc for this class for further details. Per-client timeouts have been removed, see http://mid.gmane.org/20091013062602.GA13128@dcvr.yhbt.net for the reasoning. Rack environment changes: * "rack.multithread" is now only true for models with "Thread" in their name. Enabling thread-safe (but not reentrant) code may actually be harmful for Revactor. * "rainbows.model" is now exposed so the application can easily figure out which network concurrency model is in use. Bugfixes include better shutdown and error handling for all existing models, OpenBSD compatibility for the per-process heartbeat (same as found in unicorn v0.93.3). Eric Wong (53): add SIGNALS doc to RDoc SIGNALS: add Rainbows!-specific notes doc: better "Rainbows!"

2009-10-15README: link to AppPool and extra note about Rev model
2009-10-15local.mk.sample: use rev 0.3.1 instead
rev 0.3.1 was just released tonight, lets use it since it squelches annoying warning messages.
2009-10-15t4003: chmod +x
oops
2009-10-15Add Rainbows::AppPool Rack middleware
2009-10-15README: update with Rev model caveats
2009-10-14README: update URLs
2009-10-14tests: enforce rack.multithread and rainbows.model
Help ensure apps get the correct Rack environment to make choices (if any) with.
2009-10-14rack: expose "rainbows.model" in Rack environment
This allows applications to determine which concurrency model they're running under and possibly make adjustments accordingly. The standard "rack.multithread" isn't enough for some applications to determine what to do, especially when reentrancy is required/recommended.
2009-10-14documentation updates (mostly on network models)
2009-10-14t3003: set executable bit
all test files should have the executable bit set
2009-10-14Rev: fix error handling for parser errors
We should try to send 400s back to the client if possible.
2009-10-14Rev: general module documentation + caveats
2009-10-14rack.multithread is only true for Thread* models
Enabling thread-safe or thread-aware code paths in applications may even be dangerous in some cases and cause deadlocks in code that otherwise does not expect threads. This is especially true of the Revactor case where being a "drop-in" replacement for IO routines is dangerous if a mutex is held while an Actor performs a "blocking" I/O operation. Basically start to assume that anybody writing an app using Rev or Revactor already takes Rev/Revactor concurrency into account and won't need the rack.multithread flag set to do special things.
2009-10-14local.mk.sample: use ksh93 as default $(SHELL)
It's faster than bash and the newer versions I have fixed a bug where the all-important pipefail option got dropped in subshells.
2009-10-14preliminary Rev support
There is no TeeInput (streaming request body) support, yet, as that does not seem fun nor easy to do (or even possible without using Threads or Fibers or something to save/restore the stack...)
2009-10-12README: alter reply conventions for the mailing list
Mailman is now configured to munge Reply-To: to point back to the mailing list. This might make things easier for folks on low traffic mailing lists like ours.
2009-10-12vs Unicorn: fix copy+paste errors and grammar fail
2009-10-12vs Unicorn: fix wording to be consistent with diagrams
2009-10-12vs Unicorn: use diagrams for concurrency models
A picture is worth a thousand words, even in ASCII art.
2009-10-12tests: add reopen logs test for revactor
Just in case Rev/Revactor does weird things when faced with signals.
2009-10-12DEPLOY: update with notes on DoS potential
2009-10-12tests: check for common exceptions with "Error"
And fix existing tests that use "grep -v" since that is almost always true...
2009-10-11SIGINT/SIGTERM shuts down instantly in workers
Just like in Unicorn...
2009-10-11Fix graceful shutdowns for threaded models
They were completely broken in the refactoring :x
2009-10-11revactor: fix graceful shutdown timeouts
2009-10-11cleanup thread models, threads no longer time out
The process-based heartbeat continues, but we no longer time threads out just because a client is idle for any reason (for now).
2009-10-11revactor: continue fchmod beat in graceful exit
Avoid overloading the "alive" variable here and wakeup less frequently as well to do the fchmod.
2009-10-11revactor: graceful death of keepalive clients
We'll finish processing the current request and set the "Connection: close" header if possible.
2009-10-11No need to be halving timeout, already done for us
In Unicorn by HttpServer#init_worker_process
2009-10-11revactor: cleanups and remove redundancy
2009-10-11revactor: break on EBADF in the accepting actors
Once our listeners get closed, we're as good as dead so we should exit to avoid spinning.
2009-10-11expand and share init_worker_process
This can be common across everything
2009-10-11graceful exit on trap TypeError from IO.select
Avoid potential race conditions with signal handlers, this makes exits cleaner since the LISTENERS array will get map!-ed to nils in the :QUIT signal handler.
2009-10-11factor out common listen loop error handling
It'll be easier to maintain a common language for logging and debugging.
2009-10-10thread_spawn: clean up nuking of timed-out threads
We log thread destruction times now and also make a best-effort to avoid race conditions on threads that just finished.
2009-10-10tests: create a bad exit code by default
In case the test doesn't complete and somehow doesn't write the exit code, we always want to start with one.
2009-10-10tests: update TRACER examples in makefile
2009-10-10tests: TEST_OPTS => SH_TEST_OPTS
These variables are only for shells in tests
2009-10-10README for test suite
2009-10-10tests: enable pipefail shell option if possible
pipefail is extremely useful for detecting bad exits _anywhere_ in pipelines, not just the last command. Combined with "set -e", pipefail leads to very unforgiving scripts that bail out at the first sign of error, exactly what we want in tests.
2009-10-10thread_spawn: non-blocking accept() shouldn't EINTR
Something is probably wrong with the OS if it does, so make sure it gets logged and hopefully reported.
2009-10-10thread_spawn: more robust loop
Bad stuff happens, even in our own code because sometimes we don't know what we're doing. So log it so we'll know to fix it and let life go on...
2009-10-08thread_spawn: trap EAGAIN on accept_nonblock
EAGAIN is common on accept_nonblock with multiple processes sharing the same listen descriptors. oops :x
2009-10-08tests: add revactor pipelining/keepalive test
Revactor model uses a different process_client method than our Thread* models.
2009-10-08fchmod heartbeat flips between 0/1
This is for compatibility with OpenBSD as reported by Jeremy Evans for Unicorn.
2009-10-08tests: add dbgcat() utility method
Useful for prefixing individual lines of a temporary file while catting it to stdout. This helps make tests easier to write and test.
2009-10-08tests: simplify temporary file management
Since we rely heavily on temporary files in tests, make sure management of them is easy and reliable.
2009-10-07t0000: basic test includes keepalive + pipelining
2009-10-06tests: move trash files to their own trash/ directory
Avoid cluttering the directory we write tests in
