Nov 25: 0.3.19 The Gnostic MIME Types + +This release features two major capitulations on Mongrel's stance of not being +a full web server. The first is Mongrel now sports a YAML file with 739 MIME +types in it that it will use. The second is Mongrel will now accept clients who +insist on doing their requests with "GET http://host:3000/index.html HTTP/1.1" +even though it's not understood by a web server (that's for *proxies* people). + +It also features a patch to allow for multiple listeners on the request chains, +so anyone running *mongrel_upload_progress* should test it heavily. Finally, +we're getting close to having a clean build for win32, and my apology for +holding things back on that. + +Install with: + + $ gem install fastthread --source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases + $ gem install mongrel --source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases + +If you get an error about the missing mime_types.yml file then uninstall Mongrel +completely and reinstall. + +Now, the MIME types are not finalized because, after looking at several sources +I found out everyone is completely out to lunch. I gathered together several +sources and recommended mime types, merged them all together, sorted and made +them unique. + +I now have a wiki page entitle "The Gnostic MIME Types":http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/TheGnosticMimeTypes +and I'm going to leave it up for the next 24 hours. People can edit the list to +remove what they think are invalid, correct the list, and fight over wiki wars +to make the MIME type list. + +Whatever survives after the wars will become the official Mongrel MIME types. +The ones that remain will be labeled "The Gnostic MIME Types" and simply +documented on the Mongrel site so people know what happened. + +Let the battle begin! + h2. Nov 25: 0.3.18 FreeBSD Tweak and Camping Fix Alright folks, I put in a fix for camping and added the patch by Thomas Hurst for the accf_http deferred accept settings for FreeBSD. |
