Next: Module boundaries and classes within them (Was: Re: Placement ofrequire() and missing symbols)
From: Eric Wong on 17 Jun 2010 06:08 Unicorn is an HTTP server for Rack applications designed to only serve fast clients on low-latency, high-bandwidth connections and take advantage of features in Unix/Unix-like kernels. 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/ * mongrel-unicorn(a)rubyforge.org * git://git.bogomips.org/unicorn.git Changes: There are only minor changes since 0.991.0. For users clinging onto the past, MRI 1.8.6 support has been restored. Users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest 1.8.7, REE or 1.9.1. For users looking towards the future, the core test suite and the Rails 3 (beta) integration tests pass entirely under 1.9.2 preview3. As of the latest rubinius.git[1], Rubinius support is nearly complete as well. Under Rubinius, signals may corrupt responses as they're being written to the socket, but that should be fixable transparently to us[4]. Support for the hardly used, hardly documented[2] embedded command-line switches in rackup config (.ru) files is is also broken under Rubinius. The recently-released Rack 1.2.1 introduced no compatiblity issues[3] in core Unicorn. We remain compatible with all Rack releases starting with 0.9.1 (and possibly before). [1] tested with Rubinius upstream commit cf4a5a759234faa3f7d8a92d68fa89d8c5048f72 [2] lets avoid the Dueling Banjos effect here :x [3] actually, Rack 1.2.1 is broken under 1.8.6. [4] http://github.com/evanphx/rubinius/issues/373 The Future: * Bug/compatibility fixes as needed, of course! * Scalability for hardware that may be common in 5-10 years * Rainbows! LOTS of Rainbows!
