+ This release updates documentation to reflect the migration of the
+ mailing list to a new public-inbox[1] instance. This is necessary
+ due to the impending RubyForge shutdown on May 15, 2014.
- Nothing relevant for non-EM users.
+ The public-inbox address is: rainbows-public@bogomips.org
+ (no subscription required, plain text only)
+ ssoma[2] git archives: git://bogomips.org/rainbows-public
+ browser-friendly archives: http://bogomips.org/rainbows-public/
+
+ As evidenced by our git history, Rainbows! development has stagnated
+ over the years. Rainbows! was designed to be an unopinionated
+ exploration into various concurrency options offered in the Ruby
+ ecosystem.
+
+ In recent years, I have come to favor the one-shot-based,
+ worst-of-all-worlds design of yahns: http://yahns.yhbt.net/README
+ Without the exploration from Rainbows!, yahns may not exist today.
+
+ Disclaimer: Rainbows! has always been intolerant of buggy/broken code in
+ libraries and apps. yahns is even less tolerant of buggy/broken code,
+ as the SIGKILL-based timeout mechanism inherited unicorn is completely
+ gone. On the other hand, yahns has reasonable defaults so you do not
+ have to read documentation to configure it.
+
+ [1] policy: http://public-inbox.org/ - git://80x24.org/public-inbox
+ an "archives first" approach to mailing lists
+ [2] mechanism: http://ssoma.public-inbox.org/ - git://80x24.org/ssoma
+ some sort of mail archiver (using git)
