Unicorn is a HTTP server for Rack applications designed to take
advantage of features in Unix/Unix-like kernels and only serve fast
clients on low-latency, high-bandwidth connections.
More small fixes and documentation improvements in this release, things
have settled down a lot since 0.90.0 in August and we've mainly been
focusing on documentation, minor UI improvements and the occasional
minor bugfix as they get reported.
Changes:
The one minor bugfix is only for Rails 2.3.x+ users who set the
RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT environment variable in a config file.
Users of the "--path" switch or those who set the environment
variable in the shell were unaffected by this bug. Note that we
still don't have relative URL root support for Rails < 2.3, and
are unlikely to bother with it unless there is visible demand
for it.
New features includes support for :tries and :delay when
specifying a "listen" in an after_fork hook. This was inspired
by Chris Wanstrath's example of binding per-worker listen
sockets in a loop while migrating (or upgrading) Unicorn.
Setting a negative value for :tries means we'll retry the listen
indefinitely until the socket becomes available.
So you can do something like this in an after_fork hook:
after_fork do |server, worker|
addr = "127.0.0.1:#{9293 + worker.nr}"
server.listen(addr, :tries => -1, :delay => 5)
end
There's also the usual round of added documentation, packaging
fixes, code cleanups, small fixes and minor performance
improvements that are viewable in the "git log" output.
