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. * http://unicorn.bogomips.org/ * public list: unicorn-public@bogomips.org * mail archives: http://bogomips.org/unicorn-public/ * git clone git://bogomips.org/unicorn.git * http://unicorn.bogomips.org/NEWS.atom.xml * nntp://news.public-inbox.org/inbox.comp.lang.ruby.unicorn This is a pre-release, you will need to specify the version to install explicitly when using RubyGems. Changes: unicorn 5.1.0.pre1 - rack is optional, again The big change is rack is not required (but still recommended). Applications are expected to depend on rack on their own so they can specify the version of rack they prefer without unicorn pulling in a newer, potentially incompatible version. unicorn will always attempt to work with multiple versions of rack as practical. The HTTP parser also switched to using the TypedData C-API for extra type safety and memory usage accounting support in the 'objspace' extension. Thanks to Adam Duke to bringing the rack change to our attention and Aaron Patterson for helping with the matter. There might be more documentation-related changes before 5.1.0 final. I am considering dropping pandoc from manpage generation and relying on pod2man (from Perl) because it has a wider install base. 5 changes since v5.0.1: http: TypedData C-API conversion various documentation updates doc: bump olddoc to ~> 1.2 for extra NNTP URL rack is optional at runtime, required for dev doc update for ClientShutdown exceptions class
