2017-01-09eventmachine: wait for deferred actions to finish em-deferred
Since EventMachine 1.0.0 in 2012, the EM.defers_finish? API exists to check for the existence of deferred actions. Support it if it exists in the running version of EM and update the note in our SIGNALS document. Thanks to <alex0375@gmail.com> on the mailing list for bringing this up: https://bogomips.org/rainbows-public/CAKwvcL-VH3we4qA1pkNAstTmWvqNA=Rir2N_YiWztV_qbaLQvA@mail.gmail.com/
2015-01-10switch docs + website to olddoc
wrongdoc was difficult to maintain because of the tidy-ffi dependency and the HTML5 changes in Darkfish could not be handled well by Tidy. olddoc is superior as it generates leaner HTML which loads faster, requires less scrolling and less processing power to render. Aesthetic comparisons are subjective of course but completely unimportant compared to speed and accessibility. The presence of images and CSS on the old (Darkfish-based) site probably set unreasonable expectations as to my ability and willingness to view such things. No more, the new website is entirely simple HTML which renders well with even the wimpiest browser (hell, olddoc even tries to generate readable raw HTML).
2013-09-04SIGNALS: document SIGHUP/preload_app incompatibility
This was documented in the unicorn docs, but not Rainbows! (The major difference between unicorn and Rainbows! signal handling is the deferred handling of SIGUSR1 in unicorn vs the immediate handling in Rainbows!)
2010-05-04SIGNALS: document app.deferred? caveat for graceful shutdown
There doesn't appear to be a good/easy way to do this with the built-in EventMachine thread pool :/
2009-10-05SIGNALS: add Rainbows!-specific notes
Mainly need to note the unfortunate minor difference in log reopening semantics.
2009-10-04doc updates; use "Rainbows!", not "Rainbows"
Also add notes about development things and the configuration language which uses "Rainbows!". Calling ourselves "Rainbows!" will help us be taken even more seriously than if the project were just called "Rainbows"
2009-10-02initial revision
No tests yet, but the old "gossamer" and "rainbows" branches seem to be basically working.
