Hey all,
Version 0.6.3 (codename Ninja Cookie) of the fastest Ruby server is out!
http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/
== What's new?
Thin is now more flexible and extensible then ever and even easier to deploy!
Changelog:
* Add tasks for Vlad the Deployer in example/vlad.rake [cnantais]
* Add Ramaze Rackup config file in example dir [tmm1]
Use like this from you Ramaze app dir:
thin start -r /path/to/thin/example/ramaze.ru
* Add the --rackup option to load a Rack config file instead of the Rails adapter.
So you can use any framework with the thin script and start cluster and stuff like that.
A Rack config file is one that is usable through the rackup command and looks like this:
use Rack::CommonLogger
run MyCrazyRackAdapter.new(:uterly, 'cool')
Then use it with thin like this:
thin start --rackup config.ru
* thin config --chrdir ... -C thin/yml do not change current directory anymore, fixes #33.
* Add a better sample god config file in example/thin.god that loads all info from config
files in /etc/thin. Drop-in replacement for the thin runlevel service [Gump].
* Add support for specifying a custom Connector to the server and add more doc about Server
configuration.
* Add a script to run thin as a runlevel service that can start at startup, closes #31 [Gump]
Setup the service like this:
sudo thin install /etc/thin
This will install the boot script under /etc/init.d/thin. Then copy your config files to
/etc/thin. Works only under Linux.
* Set process name to 'thin server (0.0.0.0:3000)' when running as a daemon, closes #32.
* Make sure chdir option from config file is used when present.
* Raise an error when starting a server as a daemon and pid file already exist, fixes #27.
