2010-01-07unicorn 0.96.0 - Rack 1.1 bump v0.96.0
This release includes small changes for things allowed by Rack 1.1. It is also now easier to detect if daemonized process fails to start. Manpages received some minor updates as well. Rack 1.1 allowed us to make the following environment changes: * "rack.logger" is now set to the "logger" specified in the Unicorn config file. This defaults to a Logger instance pointing to $stderr. * "rack.version" is now at [1,1]. Unicorn remains compatible with previous Rack versions if your app depends on it. While only specified since Rack 1.1, Unicorn has always exposed "rack.input" in binary mode (and has ridiculous integration tests that go outside of Ruby to prove it!).
2010-01-07Merge branch 'rack-1.1'
* rack-1.1: http_response: disallow blank, multi-value headers local.mk.sample: use rack-1.1.0 bump "rack.version" env to [1,1] set env["rack.logger"] for applications
2010-01-05http_response: disallow blank, multi-value headers
The HeaderHash optimizations in Rack 1.1 interact badly with Rails 2.3.5 (and possibly other frameworks/apps) which set multi-value "Set-Cookie" headers without relying on the proper methods provided by Rack::Utils. While this is an issue with Rails not using properly, there may be similar apps that make this mistake and Rack::Lint does not guard against it. Rack-ML-Ref: <20100105235845.GB3377@dcvr.yhbt.net>
2009-12-29launcher: no point in sync-ing $stdin
Inspection of the MRI source reveals that IO#sync=true only appears to only apply for writes. Though it could eventually make sense to disable read buffering by setting IO#sync=true, it does not appear to happen. Of course we never read from $stdin anyways....
2009-12-29launcher: fix compatibility with other servers
Rainbows! does not yet know about ready_pipe, and will probably not know about it until Unicorn 0.97.0
2009-12-28clarify errors when listeners fail to bind
When using multiple listeners, the log messages can be potentially misleading as to which listener fails to bind: Before: INFO -- : unlinking existing socket=/tmp/unicorn.sock INFO -- : listening on addr=/tmp/unicorn.sock fd=3 unicorn/socket_helper.rb:110:in `initialize': Permission denied - bind(2) (Errno::EACCES) After: INFO -- : unlinking existing socket=/tmp/openxdms.sock INFO -- : listening on addr=/tmp/openxdms.sock fd=3 FATAL -- : error adding listener addr=0.0.0.0:84 unicorn/socket_helper.rb:110:in `initialize': Permission denied - bind(2) (Errno::EACCES)
2009-12-28launcher: descriptive error message on startup failure
Rather than erroring out with a non-descript EOFError, show a warning message telling users to check the logs instead. Reported-by: Iñaki Baz Castillo mid=200912281350.44760.ibc@aliax.net
2009-12-27Avoid leaking ready pipe file descriptor to workers
Otherwise the original spawner process may not notice the close as it's still being shared by workers. While we're at it, avoid confusing the original spawner by using readpartial instead of sysread.
2009-12-26exit with failure if master dies when daemonized
This behavior change also means our grandparent (launched from a controlling terminal or script) will wait until the master process is ready before returning. Thanks to Iñaki Baz Castillo for the initial implementations and inspiration.
2009-12-26bump "rack.version" env to [1,1]
This will match what's in Rack the 1.1.0 release.
2009-12-21unicorn 0.95.3 v0.95.3
The HTTP parser now allows (but does not parse) the userinfo component in the very rare requests that send absoluteURIs. Thanks to Scott Chacon for reporting and submitting a test case for this fix. There are also minor documentation updates and tiny cleanups.
2009-12-21tee_input: rdoc for all public methods
2009-12-14set env["rack.logger"] for applications
rack.git upstream has it, so it will likely be in Rack 1.1
2009-12-13simplify pid assignment
Durr....
2009-12-07unicorn 0.95.2 v0.95.2
Small fixes to our HTTP parser to allows semicolons in PATH_INFO as allowed by RFC 2396, section 3.3. This is low impact for existing apps as semicolons are rarely seen in URIs. Our HTTP parser runs properly under Rubinius 0.13.0 and 1.0.0-rc1 again (though not yet the rest of the server since we rely heavily on signals). Another round of small documentation tweaks and minor cleanups.
2009-12-07http_request: small cleanup/code reduction
No point in bloating code for an unlikely path (and the memcpy() vs malloc() tradeoff is debatable...)
2009-12-06http: PATH_INFO/REQUEST_PATH includes semi-colons
This is allowed according to RFC 2396, section 3.3 and matches the behavior of URI.parse, as well.
2009-11-23configurator: shorten rdoc, link to examples instead
No point in repeating ourselves and having to deal with nested comments + indentation in RDoc. It's also easier for users to just download the file than to copy-and-paste out of a typical web browser.
2009-11-21cleanup: remove needless returns
A minor nit, and some folks I know hate needless returns as MRI does not optimize them away.
2009-11-21unicorn 0.95.1 v0.95.1
Configuration files paths given on the command-line are no longer expanded. This should make configuration reloads possible when a non-absolute path is specified for --config-file and Unicorn was deployed to a symlink directories (as with Capistrano). Since deployments have always been strongly encouraged to use absolute paths in the config file, this change does not affect them. This is our first gem release using gemcutter. Eric Wong (3): SIGNALS: HUP + preload_app cannot reload app code Do not expand paths given on the shell GNUmakefile: prep release process for gemcutter
2009-11-18Do not expand paths given on the shell
Shells already expand '~' before the executables see it, and relative paths inside symlinks can get set incorrectly to the actual directory name, and not the (usually desired) symlink name for things like Capistrano. Since our paths are now unexpanded, we must now check the "working_directory" directive and raise an error if the user specifies the config file in a way that makes the config file unreloadable.
2009-11-15unicorn 0.95.0 v0.95.0
Mostly internal cleanups and documentation updates. Irrelevant stacktraces from client disconnects/errors while reading "rack.input" are now cleared to avoid unnecessary noise. If user switching in workers is used, ownership of logs is now preserved when reopening worker logs (send USR1 only to the the master in this case). The timeout config no longer affects long after_fork hooks or application startups. New features include the addition of the :umask option for the "listen" config directive and error reporting for non-portable socket options. No ponies have ever been harmed in our development. Eric Wong (28): unicorn.1: document RACK_ENV changes in 0.94.0 HACKING: update with "gmake" in examples don't nuke children for long after_fork and app loads local.mk.sample: steal some updates from Rainbows!

2009-11-15tee_input: client_error always raises
We do not hide unforseen exceptions, as that could cause us to waste precious time attempting to continue processing after errors.
2009-11-15ClientShutdown: RDoc
2009-11-15socket_helper: RDoc for constants
2009-11-15socket_helper: do not hide errors when setting socket options
Since they're all optional, make them non-fatal, but make sure we log them so we can diagnose what (if anything) is going wrong.
2009-11-15replace "rescue => e" with "rescue Object => e"
"Object" is needless noise and some folks are annoyed by seeing it.
2009-11-15tee_input: expand client error handling
First move it to a separate method, this allows subclasses to reuse our error handler. Additionally, capture HttpParserError as well since backtraces are worthless when a client sends us a bad request, too.
2009-11-14const: no need to freeze HTTP_EXPECT
We never set this as a hash key, so there's no performance gain from having a frozen string.
2009-11-14old_rails: autoload Static
It makes life easier for people writing config.ru files for use with Rails.
2009-11-14old_rails/static: avoid freezing strings
No need to freeze them unless we're assigning new hash values (PATH_INFO is already hashed when we assign it).
2009-11-14preserve user/group ownership when reopening logs
This is only supported when SIGUSR1 is sent only to the master process (which then resends SIGUSR1 to the workers). Since we only added support for user/group switching in the workers, we now chown any log files upon switching users so the master can pick up and chown the log files later on. Thus we can avoid having to restart workers because they fail to rotate log files on their own.
2009-11-14configurator: listen :umask parameter for UNIX sockets
Typically UNIX domain sockets are created with more liberal file permissions than the rest of the application. By default, we create UNIX domain sockets to be readable and writable by all local users to give them the same accessibility as locally-bound TCP listeners. This only has an effect on UNIX domain sockets. This was inspired by Suraj Kurapati in cfbcd2f00911121536rd0582b8u961f7f2a8c6e546a@mail.gmail.com
2009-11-13bump version to 0.95.0pre
We need a minor version since we will expose Unicorn::ClientDisconnect.
2009-11-13configurator: update RDoc and comments in examples
Some of this based on Suraj Kurapati's comments on the mailing list.
2009-11-13tee_input: fix comment from an intermediate commit
2009-11-13raise Unicorn::ClientShutdown if client aborts in TeeInput
Leaving the EOFError exception as-is bad because most applications/frameworks run an application-wide exception handler to pretty-print and/or log the exception with a huge backtrace. Since there's absolutely nothing we can do in the server-side app to deal with clients prematurely shutting down, having a backtrace does not make sense. Having a backtrace can even be harmful since it creates unnecessary noise for application engineers monitoring or tracking down real bugs.
2009-11-13tee_input: don't shadow struct members
It's confusing when a local variable reuses the same name as a struct member.
2009-11-11tee_input: better premature disconnect handling
Just let the error bubble all the way up to where Unicorn calls process_client where it'll be appropriately handled. Additionally, we'l just check the return value of tee() in ensure_length and avoid it if it nils on us.
2009-11-11tee_input: fix RDoc argument definition for tee
2009-11-09Load Unicorn constants when building app
This will benefit users of a copy-on-write-friendly memory manager provided with Ruby Enterprise Edition. Additionally, this will the reduce maintenance impact on Rainbows! in the future since load/require are not thread-safe under 1.9.
2009-11-09don't nuke children for long after_fork and app loads
Sometimes app loads and after_fork hooks can take a long time, even longer than shorter timeouts. Since timeouts are only meant for application processing when clients are involved, we won't nuke workers that have never chmodded before.
2009-11-05unicorn 0.94.0 v0.94.0
The HTTP parser is fix for oddly-aligned reads of trailers (this technically affects headers, too, but is highly unlikely due to our non-support of slow clients). This allows our HTTP parser to better support very slow clients when used by other servers (like Rainbows!). Fortunately this bug does not appear to lead to any invalid memory accesses (and potential arbitrary code execution). FreeBSD (and possibly other *BSDs) support is improved and and all the test cases pass under FreeBSD 7.2. Various flavors of GNU/Linux remains our primary platform for development and production. New features added include the "working_directory" directive in the configurator . Even without specifying a "working_directory", symlink-aware detection of the current path no longer depends on /bin/sh so it should work out-of-the-box on FreeBSD and Solaris and not just systems where /bin/sh is dash, ksh93 or bash. User-switching support is finally supported but only intended for use in the after_fork hook of worker processes. Putting it in the after_fork hook allows allows users to set things like CPU affinity[1] on a per-worker basis before dropping privileges. The master process retains all privileges it started with. The ENV["RACK_ENV"] (process-wide) environment variable is now both read and set for `unicorn' in the same way RAILS_ENV is used by `unicorn_rails'. This allows the Merb launcher to read ENV["RACK_ENV"] in config.ru. Other web servers already set this and there may be applications or libraries that already rely on this de facto standard. Eric Wong (26): cleanup: avoid redundant error checks for fstat test_helper: connect(2) may fail with EINVAL GNUmakefile: fix non-portable tar(1) usage tests: provide a pure Ruby setsid(8) equivalent more portable symlink awareness for START_CTX[:cwd] test_signals: avoid portability issues with fchmod(2) cleanup error handling and make it less noisy Do not override Dir.chdir in config files configurator: add "working_directory" directive configurator: working_directory is expanded configurator: set ENV["PWD"] with working_directory, too configurator: working_directory affects pid, std{err,out}_paths configurator: update documentation for working_directory TODO: remove working_directory bit, done Util.reopen_logs: remove needless Range worker: user/group switching for after_fork hooks Fix autoload of Etc in Worker for Ruby 1.9 bin/unicorn: allow RACK_ENV to be passed from parent tests for RACK_ENV preservation http: allow headers/trailers to be written byte-wise http: extra test for bytewise chunked bodies tee_input: do not clobber trailer buffer on partial uploads test_exec: ensure master is killed after test Util::tmpio returns a TmpIO that responds to #size TODO: remove user-switching bit, done unicorn 0.94.0 Wayne Larsen (1): bin/unicorn: set ENV["RACK_ENV"] on startup [1] - Unicorn does not support CPU affinity directly, but it is possible to load code that allows it inside after_fork hooks, or even just call sched_tool(8).
2009-11-05Util::tmpio returns a TmpIO that responds to #size
Subclass off the core File class so we don't have to worry about #size being defined. This will mainly be useful to Rainbows! but allows us to simplify our TeeInput implementation a little, too.
2009-11-04tee_input: do not clobber trailer buffer on partial uploads
Found in Rainbows! testing. Reusing the buffer when finalizing input for headers could be problematic because it would lead to the @buf2 instance variable being clobbered; allowing the trailers to "leak" into the body.
2009-11-04Fix autoload of Etc in Worker for Ruby 1.9
Constant scoping appears to be a bit different under 1.9
2009-11-04worker: user/group switching for after_fork hooks
This must be called in the after_fork hook because there may be Ruby modules that'll allow things such as CPU affinity and scheduling class/priority to be set on a per-worker basis. So we give the user the ability to change users at any time during the after_fork hook.
2009-11-03Util.reopen_logs: remove needless Range
?/ avoids allocating a String in 1.8 and in 1.9 short String objects are cheap.
2009-11-03configurator: update documentation for working_directory
We follow the principle of least surprise now, so less documentation is better documentation.
2009-11-03configurator: working_directory affects pid, std{err,out}_paths
It makes more sense this way since users usually expect config file directives to be order-independent.
