+=== yahns 1.13.0 - some user-visible improvements... / 2016-08-05 07:26 UTC
+
+ And probably a billion new regressions!
+
+ yahns now allows users to skip the Rack::Head, Rack::Chunked and
+ Rack::ContentLength middlewares to ease migrating from/to other
+ real-world Rack HTTP servers. Most notably, our chunked
+ encoding implementation is a bit faster than Rack::Chunked by
+ taking advantage of the writev(2) syscall:
+
+ https://yhbt.net/yahns-public/20160803031906.14553-4-e@80x24.org/
+
+ There's also rack 2.x fixes in the test case and extras/ section
+ (these incompatibilities did not affect existing users unless
+ they use the wonky extras/ section).
+
+ There's also some graceful shutdown fixes, the process title is
+ now changed to display the number of live FDs.
+
+ Of course, there's the usual round of documentation improvements
+ which are systemd and OpenSSL setup-related this time around.
+
+ However, the majority of changes (proxy_*, wbuf_lite), affect
+ currently-unadvertised functionality which is subject to removal
+ or incompatible config changes. However, they are used to serve
+ our mailing list archives at:

+ https://yhbt.net/yahns-public/

fixes a few minor bugs mainly needed for testing.
