A Free Software, multi-threaded, non-blocking network
application server designed for low _idle_ power consumption.
It is primarily optimized for applications with occasional users
which see little or no traffic. yahns currently hosts Rack/HTTP
applications, but may eventually support other application
types. Unlike some existing servers, yahns is extremely
sensitive to fatal bugs in the applications it hosts.

Changes:
yahns 1.13.0 - some user-visible improvements...
And probably a billion new regressions!
yahns now allows users to skip the Rack::Head, Rack::Chunked and
Rack::ContentLength middlewares to ease migrating from/to other
real-world Rack HTTP servers. Most notably, our chunked
encoding implementation is a bit faster than Rack::Chunked by
taking advantage of the writev(2) syscall:
https://yhbt.net/yahns-public/20160803031906.14553-4-e@80x24.org/
There's also rack 2.x fixes in the test case and extras/ section
(these incompatibilities did not affect existing users unless
they use the wonky extras/ section).
There's also some graceful shutdown fixes, the process title is
now changed to display the number of live FDs.
Of course, there's the usual round of documentation improvements
which are systemd and OpenSSL setup-related this time around.
However, the majority of changes (proxy_*, wbuf_lite), affect
currently-unadvertised functionality which is subject to removal
or incompatible config changes. However, they are used to serve
our mailing list archives at:
https://yhbt.net/yahns-public/
49 changes since yahns 1.12.5:

response: reduce stack overhead for parameter passing
response: support auto-chunking for HTTP/1.1
Revert "document Rack::Chunked/ContentLength semi-requirements"
extras/exec_cgi: fix for HTTPoxy vulnerability
Please note the disclaimer:
yahns is extremely sensitive to fatal bugs in the apps it hosts. There
is no (and never will be) any built-in "watchdog"-type feature to kill
stuck processes/threads. Each yahns process may be handling thousands
of clients; unexpectedly killing the process will abort _all_ of those
connections. Lives may be lost!
yahns hackers are not responsible for your application/library bugs.
Use an application server which is tolerant of buggy applications
if you cannot be bothered to fix all your fatal bugs.

This makes it easier to add more parameters to
http_response_write and simplifies current callers.

This better aligns with behavior of other real-world Rack
servers such as puma and Thin. We will also now use kgio writev
functionality to speed up writing "Transfer-Encoding: chunked"
to avoid string copies or extra syscalls for other chunking
solutions.
See [PATCH 3/4] for a small informal benchmark.
