Rainbows! 5.0.0 - maintained as long as anybody uses it!
This release syncs with unicorn 5 and drops some old compatibility
cruft from old releases.  Performance should be roughly unchanged
for Ruby 2.2 users while older Rubies (1.9.3 - 2.1) will see
minor, probably unnoticeable performance regressions.

Compatibility:

* The horrible, proprietary (:P) "Status:" response header is
  finally gone, saving at least 16 precious bytes in every HTTP
  response.  This should make it easier to write custom HTTP clients
  which are compatible across all HTTP servers.  It will hopefully
  make migrating between different Rack servers easier for new
  projects.

* Ruby 1.8 support removed.  Ruby 1.9.3 is currently the earliest
  supported version.  However, expect minor, likely-unnoticeable
  performance regressions if you use Ruby 2.1 or earlier.  Going
  forward, Rainbows! will favor the latest version (currently 2.2) of
  the mainline Ruby implementation, potentially sacrificing
  performance on older Rubies.

New features:

* sd_listen_fds(3) emulation added for systemd compatibility.
  You may now stop using PID files and other process monitoring
  software when using systemd.

* Newly-set TCP socket options are now applied to inherited sockets.

* Dynamic changes in the application to Rack::Utils::HTTP_STATUS
  hash is now supported; allowing users to set custom status lines
  in Rack to be reflected in unicorn.  This feature causes a minor
  performance regression, but is made up for Ruby 2.2 users with
  other optimizations.

* The monotonic clock is used under Ruby 2.1+, making the
  timeout feature immune to system clock changes.
