2009-10-19Rainbows! 0.3.0 v0.3.0
The major feature of this release is the new DeferredResponse middleware for the Rev-based concurrency model. It should be transparently compatible with non-Rev models, as well. As a pleasant side effect, this change also allows large files to be streamed to the client with Rev as the socket becomes writable instead of slurping the entire file into an IO::Buffer first. Bugfixes to graceful shutdowns support for all concurrency models. The Rev-based model also gets a working heartbeat mechanism (oops!) and fixed HTTP/1.1 pipelining support.

2009-10-19rev: update documentation for this model
2009-10-19rev: AsyncResponse => DeferredResponse API cleanup
The "async" moniker wasn't appropriate since this API also handles static files without slurping, so "deferred" is a more appropriate term (even if I have trouble speling words with double conssonants in them). The DeferredResponse.write method now emulates the HttpResponse.write method for consistency.
2009-10-18tests: predictable and simpler tempfile management
Instead of using completely random names, we'll use predictable ones since we already depend on them for exit codes and such. This drops our ability to run the same test for the same version of Ruby in the same working tree, but that's an unlikely scenario. While we're at it, avoid remove tempfiles if a test failed. This should make debugging easier.
2009-10-18tests: DWIM FIFO creation
If we're going to name a variable "fifo", it'll be for descriptive reasons...
2009-10-18tests: more reliable error checking
We now check for SIGKILL, too
2009-10-18rev: async response bodies with DevFdResponse middleware
This new middleware should be a no-op for non-Rev concurrency models (or by explicitly setting env['rainbows.autochunk'] to false). Setting env['rainbows.autochunk'] to true (the default when Rev is used) allows (e)poll-able IO objects (sockets, pipes) to be sent asynchronously after app.call(env) returns. This also has a fortunate side effect of introducing a code path which allows large, static files to be sent without slurping them into a Rev IO::Buffer, too. This new change works even without the DevFdResponse middleware, so you won't have to reconfigure your app. This lets us epoll on response bodies that come in from a pipe or even a socket and send them either straight through or with chunked encoding.
2009-10-18revactor: switch to a 1 second heartbeat
Like everybody else... Closing the listener sockets doesn't seem to wakeup the actors reliably and since it's easier to use a 1 second heartbeat than correct signal/messaging for all the rest of the other clients, we'll just do that instead of relying on one-off signal handlers.
2009-10-18rev: fix heartbeat timeouts
Oops, looks like they were never implemented at all.
2009-10-18http_response: filter out X-Rainbows-* headers
We'll be using some custom headers to craft responses
2009-10-17tests: for log reopening for all concurrency models
2009-10-17tests: rack.input hammer concurrency testing
2009-10-17tests: common basic HTTP tests for all models
We support pipelining, keepalive, and even HTTP/0.9!
2009-10-17rev: avoid stack overflow through pipelining
Handling HTTP pipelining through recursion is not good since several hundred kilobytes worth of GET/HEAD requests can be a LOT of GET/HEAD requests...
2009-10-17rev: handle fully-buffered, pipelined requests
This leaves us vulnerable to stack overflows through excessive pipelining. The next patch will fix things hopefully.
2009-10-17tests: DRY require tests for Rev/Revactor
2009-10-17test-lib: quiet down pipefail error message
We'll spit out a proper warning later anyways...
2009-10-17tests: DRY Ruby requires based on model
2009-10-17tests: DRY setting of the "model" environment var
2009-10-17tests: factor out a common parser error "library"
2009-10-17tests: fix random_blob dependency
2009-10-17tests: fix issues with non-portable shell constructs
At least these tests all run with dash now, but ksh93 or bash is still recommended for pipefail
2009-10-17tests: rack.input trailer tests for all models
Just in case we break something. Also add staggered blob test to simulate slow client uploads.
2009-10-17tests: add unbuffered tee(1)-like helper
Buffering enabled in tee(1) was making tests more difficult to debug.
2009-10-17tests: introduce require_for_model function
This makes it easier to write/share code for multi-model tests.
2009-10-17refactor graceful shutdowns again, harder
We use the "G" global constant from the Rev model everywhere to simplify things a little. Test cases are more consistent now, too.
2009-10-17tests: sleep.ru slurps rack.input stream
Since we do "Expect: 100-continue" handling, make sure we read anything in the request body the client will send us.
2009-10-17Rev: simplification to error handling
on_write_complete has no chance of being called there so remove the unnecessary ensure statement
2009-10-17use timeout correctly to join threads on SIGQUIT
Subtraction is a difficult concept for some folks (like myself) to grasp and implement.
2009-10-17test-lib: dbgcat adds headers with key name
Makes it easier to track down empty files this way
2009-10-17DRY setting of rack.multithread
It's more fool-proof this way and prevents us from using idiotic/non-obvious concurrency model names.
2009-10-17Fix graceful shutdown handling of Thread* models harder
I need better tests for graceful shutdown...
2009-10-17tests: sleep.ru handles "Expect: 100-continue"
2009-10-17Revactor tests can sleep more easily
Since we export "rainbows.model" to Rack now, we don't have to worry about setting the "SLEEP_CLASS" env for the application.
2009-10-15app_pool: note it being currently broken with Revactor
Revactor does not use threads and blocking on a stock Queue class does not work. Eventually this should be made to work with the Actor model, but until then, we'll at least document it...
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!"

rev 0.3.1 was just released tonight, lets use it since it squelches annoying warning messages.

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.

all test files should have the executable bit set

We should try to send 400s back to the client if possible.
