2015-10-15doc: DESIGN: update old statements.
The statement about C exts hasn't been true since 2010 when kgio was unfortunately introduced. However, I've been working on killing off kgio. Maybe raindrops isn't worth it given the limits of SMP, either. And I'm even tempted to rewrite the HTTP parser in Ruby... Furthermore, Ruby Enterprise Edition is long gone and Ruby 2.0 is already old, so update that bit about CoW-friendliness. While we're at it, avoid mentioning kgio at all in the Links document, too.
2012-01-28doc: update doc for Ruby 2.0.0dev CoW-friendliness
Ruby 2.0.0dev is the future and includes a CoW-friendly GC, so we shall encourage folks to give Ruby 2.0.0dev a spin.
2011-06-16replace fchmod()-based heartbeat with raindrops
This means we no longer waste an extra file descriptor per worker process in the master. Now there's no need to set a higher file descriptor limit for systems running >= 1024 workers.

"P" in HTTP is already "protocol"

Based on a private email I just received.
2009-10-09DESIGN: clarification and possibly improve HTML validity
It's "Ragel+C" (as well as being Ragel->C) because there is C code in the parser. Oddly, validator.w3.org doesn't complain about the unescaped ">", but we'll err on the safe side for blissful ignorance.
2009-08-17Documentation updates
* Documented Unicorn::HttpParser API methods * Keep GPL2 (COPYING) as-is without RDoc formatting. * The auto-generated index.html is stupid, replace it with README which looks saner.
