Hello folks,

Another release going out based on the very limited work done at  
RailsConf. Despite all the fun and the talks I did manage to squeeze in  
some more defensive maneuvers for everyone’s favorite canine ninja, and  
sit down with Why and Rick Olsen to hook up the mongrel\_upload\_progress  
plugin. They quickly working to get Rails and Camping gear to do nice  
upload progress notifiers.

This release sports the following additions:

- Mongrel now defends against file starvation better by killing off  
any threads that take longer than 60 seconds, but _only_ if it has run  
out of files.
- Small parts have extra functionality to allow you to add a  
“notification filter”. This filter is a handler that will get notified  
about the entire HTTP process rather than just receive the final  
request. Check out the mongrel\_upload\_progress gem to see how that  
works.
- A few small fixes, mostly in the errors that are printed out.
- The new mongrel\_upload\_progress plugin by Why and Rick that gives  
you the goodies.

INSTALLING

As usual you can install with any of the following commands:

## gem install mongrel

## gem update

## gem update mongrel

gem install mongrel --source=[http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases](http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases)

If one doesn’t work, try the others, try uninstalling first, and try  
reading the RubyGems documentation.

Finally, you might have to wait a bit while the mirrors get updated and  
while I flip over to win32 to actually post their build. Should by up  
by 10:30am CDT.
