Hey all,
Version 0.6.1 (codename Cheesecake) of the fastest Ruby server is out!
http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/
== What's new?
Lots and lots of new features: config file support, uses less memory, speed tweaks,
and UNIX domain socket connection support!
More info:
Changelog from 0.5.4:
* Add support for connection through UNIX domain socket.
Use the --socket (-S) option w/ the thin script to configure the socket filename.
Nginx support binding to a UNIX socket like this:
upstream backend {
server unix:/tmp/thin.0.sock;
server unix:/tmp/thin.1.sock;
server unix:/tmp/thin.2.sock;
}
Start your servers like this:
thin start -s3 -S/tmp/thin.sock
* Remove Server#listen! method. Use Server#start instead.
* Server can now yield a Rack::Builder to allow building an app in one call:
Server.start '0.0.0.0', 3000 do
use Rack::CommonLogger
use Rack::ShowExceptions
map "/lobster" do
use Rack::Lint
run Rack::Lobster.new
end
end
* Add a very basic stats page through Stats adapter, load w/ --stats and browse to /stats.
* Add --trace (-V) option to trace request/response and get backtrace w/out all Ruby debug stuff.
* Add --config (-C) option to load options from a config file in thin script [Matt Todd].
* Alter response headers to output directly to a string.
* Improve specs stability.
* Move request body to a Tempfile if too big (> 112 MB)
* Remove useless check for max header size in Request (already done in the parser)
== Get it!
sudo gem install thin
Might take some time for the gem mirrors to be updated, try adding
--source http://code.macournoyer.com to the command if it doesn't work
If you installed a previous alpha version (if you have 0.6.1 already installed)
uninstall it before: sudo gem uninstall thin
WARNING:
Thin is still alpha software, if you use it on your server you understand the
risks that are involved.
