Mar-12: Mongrel 0.3.10 -- Big Release Day + +This release is a bigger release than those in the +past but it was necessary as it touched many little +parts of the code base and includes a more complete +GemPlugin functionality. This release features the +following changes: + +* GemPlugin now supports including and easily finding resources and config files + you package with your gems. +* GemPlugin loading doesn't use any deprecated RubyGems APIs. +* GemPlugin comes with a generator called *gpgen* that will make it easy to start off + a plugin project. +* A complete document on "Writing A Mongrel Plugin":/docs/gem_plugin.html that + also explains how they work. +* The "Mongrel Config Tool":/images/config_tool_snap.png that demonstrates + building a useful command for controlling a Mongrel server. +** It uses a "Camping":http://camping.rubyforge.org/ to present an interface. +** Demonstrates combining Camping handlers with Mongrel handlers. +** Shows how to use the new GemPlugin resources API to include ERB templates, images, + and CSS stylesheets which are loaded out of the gem (no external install needed). +* Restructuring of the project source a bit to support testing all the + default plugins and to make building much easier. +* Properly loads any gems that depend on Rails (including GemPlugins) until the + very last minute after Rails is loaded and configured. +* A slight hack courtesy of Sean Treadway which jacks up the default server + listen queue from 5 to 1024. This should work on all platforms where + available and should improve concurrency for everyone. +* A more complete and useful Camping postamble that makes it the same size + as the WEBrick one. Also makes sure that Camping handlers and Mongrel + handlers can live in peace together. + +There's also a bunch of bug fixes: + +* Should work well with edge rails now and tries to be very nice. +* It holds of Rails configuration until the absolute latest time to + avoid having the daemonize call from closing log files Rails opens. +* Tweaks to the API docs in various places and cleaned out dead code. +* Lots of fixes to the build. If you get the source and are on Unix + you can just do "rake install" to install the whole thing via gems. + +This release has been tested on Linux, OSX, and FreeBSD with only +light testing on Win32. I'll be making the 0.3.11 release Win32 +specific so that the config tool can be useful for those folks too. + +Otherwise this is a large release so please grab it and test like +mad. + +"Download 0.3.10":http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1306 + + h2.
