2020-01-20doc: s/bogomips.org/yhbt.net/g
bogomips.org is due to expire, soon, and I'm not willing to pay extortionist fees to Ethos Capital/PIR/ICANN to keep a .org. So it's at yhbt.net, for now, but it will change again to whatever's affordable... Identity is overrated. Tor users can use .onions and kick ICANN to the curb: torsocks w3m http://unicorn.ou63pmih66umazou.onion/ torsocks git clone http://ou63pmih66umazou.onion/unicorn.git/ torsocks w3m http://ou63pmih66umazou.onion/unicorn-public/ While we're at it, `s/news.gmane.org/news.gmane.io/g', too. (but I suspect that'll need to be resynched since our mail "List-Id:" header is changing).
2017-03-23gemspec: remove olddoc from build dependency
It's a little less DRY, and there'll be no NEWS file generated, but it's one less thing to install, so perhaps that's worth it. The website at https://bogomips.org/unicorn/ will continue to use olddoc, of course,
2016-10-25relocate website to https://bogomips.org/unicorn/
HTTPS helps some with reader privacy and Let's Encrypt seems to be working well enough the past few months. This change will allow us to reduce subjectAltName bloat in our TLS certificate over time. It will also promote domain name agility to support mirrors or migrations to other domains (including a Tor hidden service mirror). http://bogomips.org/unicorn/ will remain available for people on legacy systems without usable TLS. There is no plan for automatic redirecting from HTTP to HTTPS at this time.
2016-01-07various documentation updates
* add nntp_url to the olddoc website footer * update legacy support status for 4.x (not 4.8.x) * update copyright range to 2016 * note all of our development tools are Free Software, too * remove cgit mention; it may not always be cgit (but URLs should remain compatible). * discourage downloading snapshot tarballs; "git clone" + periodic "git fetch" is more efficient * remove most mentions of unicorn_rails as that was meant for ancient Rails 1.x/2.x users * update path reference to Ruby 2.3.0 * fix nginx upstream module link to avoid redirect * shorten Message-ID example to avoid redirects and inadvertant linkage
2015-02-06doc: update support status for Ruby versions
unicorn 5 will not support Ruby 1.8 anymore. Drop mentions of Rubinius, too, it's too difficult to support due to the proprietary and registration-required nature of its bug tracker. The smaller memory footprint and CoW-friendly memory allocator in mainline Ruby is a better fit for unicorn, anyways. Since Ruby 1.9+ bundles RubyGems and gem startup is faster nowadays, we'll just depend on that instead of not loading RubyGems. Drop the local.mk.sample file, too, since it's way out-of-date and probably isn't useful (I have not used it in a while).
2015-01-10switch docs + website to olddoc
wrongdoc was difficult to maintain because of the tidy-ffi dependency and the HTML5 changes in Darkfish could not be handled well by Tidy. olddoc is superior as it generates leaner HTML which loads faster, requires less scrolling and less processing power to render. Aesthetic comparisons are subjective of course but completely unimportant compared to speed and accessibility. The presence of images and CSS on the old (Darkfish-based) site probably set unreasonable expectations as to my ability and willingness to view such things. No more, the new website is entirely simple HTML which renders well with even the wimpiest browser.
2014-05-06swap out most of the rubyforge.org links
Update the old mailing list info with our new public-inbox info. The old mongrel.rubyforge.org links have been dead for years, oh well. There's only a few days left of RubyForge left...
2014-01-11GNUmakefile: add "check" target for running all tests
"check" rolls off the fingers of users familiar with GNU Automake more easily. The "test-all" target is preserved for compatibility.
2011-06-06Document the method for building the Unicorn gem.

2010-09-15doc: update HACKING for documentation contributions
We switched to RDoc 2.5.x long ago and this should clarify some documentation preferences I have.
2009-12-06doc/HACKING: "git format-patch" with "-M" is better
2009-11-21doc: "RubyGems" is the correct capitalization
So says the project website and documentation
2009-11-09HACKING: update with "gmake" in examples
Most GNU users already know their "make" is GNU make but it may not be obvious to non-GNU users.
2009-09-30Add makefile targets for non-release installs
This should make it easier to test and run unreleased versions.
2009-09-19Add HACKING document
