unicorn 4.8.3 - the end of an era
This release updates documentation to reflect the migration of the
mailing list to a new public-inbox[1] instance. This is necessary
due to the impending RubyForge shutdown on May 15, 2014.
The public-inbox address is: unicorn-public@bogomips.org
(no subscription required, plain text only)
ssoma[2] git archives: git://bogomips.org/unicorn-public
browser-friendly archives: http://bogomips.org/unicorn-public/
Using, getting help for, and contributing to unicorn will never
require any of the following:
1) non-Free software (including SaaS)
2) registration or sign-in of any kind
3) a real identity (we accept mail from Mixmaster)
4) a graphical user interface
Nowadays, plain-text email is the only ubiquitous platform which
meets all our requirements for communication.
There is also one small bugfix to handle premature grandparent death
upon initial startup. Most users are unaffected.
[1] policy: http://public-inbox.org/ - git://80x24.org/public-inbox
an "archives first" approach to mailing lists
[2] mechanism: http://ssoma.public-inbox.org/ - git://80x24.org/ssoma
some sort of mail archiver (using git)
unicorn 4.8.1 fix races/error handling in worker SIGQUIT handler This protects us from two problems: 1) we (or our app) somehow called IO#close on one of the sockets we listen on without removing it from the readers array. We'll ignore IOErrors from IO#close and assume we wanted to close it. 2) our SIGQUIT handler is interrupted by itself. This can happen as a fake signal from the master could be handled and a real signal from an outside user is sent to us (e.g. from unicorn-worker-killer) or if a user uses the killall(1) command.
unicorn 4.8.0 - big internal changes, but compatible This release contains fairly major internal workings of master-to-worker notifications. The master process no longer sends signals to workers for most tasks. This works around some compatibility issues with some versions of the "pg" gem (and potentially any other code which may not handle EINTR properly). One extra benefit is it also helps stray workers notice a rare, unexpected master death more easily. Workers continue to (and will always) accept existing signals for compatibility with tools/scripts which may signal workers. PID file are always written early (even on upgrade) again to avoid breaking strange monitoring setups which use PID files. Keep in mind we have always discouraged monitoring based on PID files as they are fragile. We now avoid bubbling IOError to the Rack app on premature client disconnects when streaming the input body. This is usually not a problem with nginx, but may be on some LAN setups without nginx). Thanks to Sam Saffron, Jimmy Soho, Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas, Michael Fischer, and Andrew Hobson for their help with this release. Note: the unicorn mailing list will be moved/changed soon due to the RubyForge shutdown. unicorn will always rely only on Free Software. There will never be any sign-up requirements nor terms-of-service to agree to when communicating with us.
unicorn 4.8.0pre1
Eric Wong (6):
tests: fix SO_REUSEPORT tests for old Linux and non-Linux
stream_input: avoid IO#close on client disconnect
t0300: kill off stray processes in test
always write PID file early for compatibility
doc: clarify SIGNALS and reference init example
rework master-to-worker signaling to use a pipe
unicorn 4.7.0 - minor updates, license tweak * support SO_REUSEPORT on new listeners (:reuseport) This allows users to start an independent instance of unicorn on a the same port as a running unicorn (as long as both instances use :reuseport). ref: https://lwn.net/Articles/542629/ * unicorn is now GPLv2-or-later and Ruby 1.8-licensed (instead of GPLv2-only, GPLv3-only, and Ruby 1.8-licensed) This changes nothing at the moment. Once the FSF publishes the next version of the GPL, users may choose the newer GPL version without the unicorn BDFL approving it. Two years ago when I got permission to add GPLv3 to the license options, I also got permission from all past contributors to approve future versions of the GPL. So now I'm approving all future versions of the GPL for use with unicorn. Reasoning below: In case the GPLv4 arrives and I am not alive to approve/review it, the lesser of evils is have give blanket approval of all future GPL versions (as published by the FSF). The worse evil is to be stuck with a license which cannot guarantee the Free-ness of this project in the future. This unfortunately means the FSF can theoretically come out with license terms I do not agree with, but the GPLv2 and GPLv3 will always be an option to all users. Note: we currently prefer GPLv3 Two improvements thanks to Ernest W. Durbin III: * USR2 redirects fixed for Ruby 1.8.6 (broken since 4.1.0) * unicorn(1) and unicorn_rails(1) enforces valid integer for -p/--port A few more odd, minor tweaks and fixes: * attempt to rename PID file when possible (on USR2) * workaround reopen atomicity issues for stdio vs non-stdio * improve handling of client-triggerable socket errors
unicorn 4.6.0 - hijacking support This pre-release adds hijacking support for Rack 1.5 users. See Rack documentation for more information about hijacking. There is also a new --no-default-middleware/-N option for the `unicorn' command to ignore RACK_ENV within unicorn thanks to Lin Jen-Shin. There are only documentation and test-portability updates since 4.6.0pre1, no code changes.
