Hey all, Version 0.7.0 (codename Spherical Cow) of the fastest Ruby server is out! [http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/](http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/) == What's new? Persistent connections (Keep-Alive) and Swifitply support!   \* Add --max-persistent-conns option to sets the maximum number of persistent connections.     Set to 0 to disable Keep-Alive.   \* INT signal now force stop and QUIT signal gracefully stops.   \* Warn when descriptors table size can't be set as high as expected.   \* Eval Rackup config file using top level bindings.   \* Remove daemons gem dependency on Windows plateform, fixes #45.   \* Change default timeout from 60 to 30 seconds.   \* Add --max-conns option to sets the maximum number of file or socket descriptors that     your process may open, defaults to 1024.   \* Tail logfile when stopping and restarting a demonized server, fixes #26.   \* Wrap application in a Rack::CommonLogger adapter in debug mode.   \* --debug (-D) option no longer set so logging will be less verbose     and Ruby won't be too strict, fixes #36.   \* Deprecate Server#silent in favour of Logging.silent.   \* Persistent connection (keep-alive) support.   \* Fix -s option not being included in generated config file, fixes #37.   \* Add Swiftiply support. Use w/ the --swiftiply (-y) option in the thin script,     closes #28 [Alex MacCaw] == Get it!   sudo gem install thin Or using my mirror:   sudo gem install thin --source [http://code.macournoyer.com](http://code.macournoyer.com) WARNING:    Thin is still alpha software, if you use it on your server you understand the    risks that are involved. == Contribute If you're using Thin, let me know and I'll put your site on [http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/users/](http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/users/) Thin is driven by an active community of passionate coders and benchmarkers.
