2009-10-02unicorn 0.93.0 v0.93.0
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.

2009-10-02const: DEFAULT_PORT as a string doesn't make sense
TCP ports are always integers, and it was always allowing a randomly-generated value of 8080 through in the unused_port method of test_helper.
2009-09-18unicorn 0.92.0 v0.92.0
Small fixes and documentation are the focus of this release. James Golick reported and helped me track down a bug that caused SIGHUP to drop the default listener (0.0.0.0:8080) if and only if listeners were completely unspecified in both the command-line and Unicorn config file. The Unicorn config file remains the recommended option for specifying listeners as it allows fine-tuning of the :backlog, :rcvbuf, :sndbuf, :tcp_nopush, and :tcp_nodelay options. There are some documentation (and resulting website) improvements. setup.rb users will notice the new section 1 manpages for `unicorn` and `unicorn_rails`, Rubygems users will have to install manpages manually or use the website. The HTTP parser got a 3rd-party code review which resulted in some cleanups and one insignificant bugfix as a result. Additionally, the HTTP parser compiles, runs and passes unit tests under Rubinius. The pure-Ruby parts still do not work yet and we currently lack the resources/interest to pursue this further but help will be gladly accepted. The website now has an Atom feed for new release announcements. Those unfamiliar with Atom or HTTP may finger unicorn@bogomips.org for the latest announcements.
2009-09-16Avoid freezing objects that don't benefit from it
This gives applications more rope to play with in case they have any reasons for changing some values of the default constants. Freezing strings for Hash assignments still speeds up MRI, so we'll keep on doing that for now (and as long as MRI supports frozen strings, I expect them to always be faster for Hashes though I'd be very happy to be proven wrong...)
2009-09-08"encoding: binary" comments for all sources (1.9)
This ensures any string literals that pop up in *our* code will just be a bag of bytes. This shouldn't affect/fix/break existing apps in most cases, but most constants will always have the "correct" encoding (none!) to be consistent with HTTP/socket expectations. Since this comment affects things only on a per-source basis, it won't affect existing apps with the exception of strings we pass to the Rack application. This will eventually allow us to get rid of that Unicorn::Z constant, too.

2009-07-01Force streaming input onto apps by default
This change gives applications full control to deny clients from uploading unwanted message bodies. This also paves the way for doing things like upload progress notification within applications in a Rack::Lint-compatible manner. Since we don't support HTTP keepalive, so we have more freedom here by being able to close TCP connections and deny clients the ability to write to us (and thus wasting our bandwidth). While I could've left this feature off by default indefinitely for maximum backwards compatibility (for arguably broken applications), Unicorn is not and has never been about supporting the lowest common denominator.
2009-06-30TrailerParser integration into ChunkedReader
Support for the "Trailer:" header and associated Trailer lines should be reasonably well supported now
2009-06-29ACK clients on "Expect: 100-continue" header
By responding with a "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue" response to encourage a client to send the rest of the body. This is part of the HTTP/1.1 standard but not often implemented by servers: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html#sec8.2.3 This will speed up curl uploads since curl sleeps up to 1 second if no response is received: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/faq.html#My_HTTP_POST_or_PUT_requests_are
2009-06-05Transfer-Encoding: chunked streaming input support
This adds support for handling POST/PUT request bodies sent with chunked transfer encodings ("Transfer-Encoding: chunked"). Attention has been paid to ensure that a client cannot OOM us by sending an extremely large chunk. This implementation is pure Ruby as the Ragel-based implementation in rfuzz didn't offer a streaming interface. It should be reasonably close to RFC-compliant but please test it in an attempt to break it. The more interesting part is the ability to stream data to the hosted Rack application as it is being transferred to the server. This can be done regardless if the input is chunked or not, enabling the streaming of POST/PUT bodies can allow the hosted Rack application to process input as it receives it. See examples/echo.ru for an example echo server over HTTP. Enabling streaming also allows Rack applications to support upload progress monitoring previously supported by Mongrel handlers. Since Rack specifies that the input needs to be rewindable, this input is written to a temporary file (a la tee(1)) as it is streamed to the application the first time. Subsequent rewinded reads will read from the temporary file instead of the socket. Streaming input to the application is disabled by default since applications may not necessarily read the entire input body before returning. Since this is a completely new feature we've never seen in any Ruby HTTP application server before, we're taking the safe route by leaving it disabled by default. Enabling this can only be done globally by changing the Unicorn HttpRequest::DEFAULTS hash: Unicorn::HttpRequest::DEFAULTS["unicorn.stream_input"] = true Similarly, a Rack application can check if streaming input is enabled by checking the value of the "unicorn.stream_input" key in the environment hashed passed to it. All of this code has only been lightly tested and test coverage is lacking at the moment. [1] - http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-3.6.1

2009-05-13Require Rack for HTTP Status codes
Preventing needless duplication since Rack already has these codes for us. Also, put the status codes in HttpResponse since nothing else needs (or should need) them.

2009-04-23http_response: minor performance gains
Avoid creating garbage every time we lookup the status code along with the message. Also, we can use global const arrays for a little extra performance because we only write one-at-a time Looking at MRI 1.8, Array#join with an empty string argument is slightly better because it skips an append for every iteration.
2009-04-23Get rid of UNICORN_TMP_BASE constant
It was just a waste of space and would've caused line wrapping. This reinstates the "unicorn" prefix when we create tempfiles, too.

2009-03-29http11: use :http_body instead of "HTTP_BODY"
"HTTP_BODY" could conflict with a "Body:" HTTP header if there ever is one. Also, try to hide this body from the Rack environment before @app is called since it is only used by Unicorn internally.
2009-03-27Always try to send a valid HTTP response back
This reworks error handling throughout the entire stack to be more Ruby-ish. Exceptions are raised instead of forcing the us to check return values. If a client is sending us a bad request, we send a 400. If unicorn or app breaks in an unexpected way, we'll send a 500. Both of these last-resort error responses are sent using IO#write_nonblock to avoid tying Unicorn up longer than necessary and all exceptions raised are ignored. Sending a valid HTTP response back should reduce the chance of us from being marked as down or broken by a load balancer. Previously, some load balancers would mark us as down if we close a socket without sending back a valid response; so make a best effort to send one. If for some reason we cannot write a valid response, we're still susceptible to being marked as down. A successful HttpResponse.write() call will now close the socket immediately (instead of doing it higher up the stack). This ensures the errors will never get written to the socket on a successful response.

2009-02-09Get rid of HeaderOut and simplify HttpResponse
Just stuff what little logic we had for it into HttpResponse since Rack takes care of the rest for us. Put the HTTP_STATUS_HEADERS hash in HttpResponse since we're the only user of it. Also, change HttpResponse.send to HttpResponse.write to avoid overriding the default method.
2009-02-09Don't set SCRIPT_NAME to "/" and then clear it for Rack
It's pointless...
2009-02-09Simplify HttpResponse since we only handle Rack now
The previous API was very flexible, but I don't think many people really cared for it... We now repeatedly use the same HeaderOut in each process since I completely don't care for multithreading.
2009-02-09pre-generate HTTP_STATUS_HEADER to avoid repeated snprintf
Regenerating headers constantly is a waste of time.
