Use of Rainbows! for new projects is not - recommended, try other servers instead. + 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. - * update dependencies for Ruby 2.2.0dev - * switch docs + website to olddoc - * gemspec: fix bad reference to rdoc_options - * README: reference yahns - * build: fix quoting issue with double parens - * response: avoid unnecessary args to IO.copy_stream - * t/close-has-env.ru: ensure close is idempotent - * sync_close: This fix breakage from Ruby-trunk r50118 - * t/t0044-autopush.sh: remove test - * t/test_isolate.rb: updates for various gem versions - * response: convert source arg to path before IO.copy_stream - * speed up QUIT for users of the unicorn worker_loop - * gemspec: use SPDX-compatible license for GPL-2.0+ + 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. + + As Rainbows! may be used anonymously without registration, the + project is committed to supporting anonymous and pseudonymous + help requests, contributions and feedback via plain-text mail to: + + rainbows-public@bogomips.org + + The mail submission port (587) is open to those behind firewalls + and allows access via Tor and anonymous remailers. + Archives are accessible via: + + * http://bogomips.org/rainbows-public/ + * nntp://news.public-inbox.org/inbox.comp.lang.ruby.rainbows + * nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rainbows.general + + and mirrored to various other places, so you do not even need + to use a valid address when posting. + + 18 changes since Rainbows! 4.7.0 + + README: remove Zbatery references + http_parser: handle keepalive_requests internally + kill the moronic Status: header + reflect changes in Rack::Utils::HTTP_STATUS_CODES + reduce constant lookup dependencies + http_parser: workaround hijack changes in unicorn 5 + http_server: add master_pid attribute + stream_response_epoll: remove hijack_prepare call + bump to unicorn 5.0.1, use monotonic clock + add .gitattributes for Ruby method detection + response: avoid garbage string entirely + tiny bytecode reductions for cold paths + Ruby 1.9.3+-only cleanups + revactor: remove fcntl dependency + response: simplify regexp + t0105: fix test reliability + fix Rainbows.now definition for old Rubies + fix broken constant lookups in unmaintained bits
