Hey Folks,

I’ve been meeting lots of great folks at RailsConf and in my spare time  
hacking up this latest pre-release of Mongrel. It features the  
following new goodies:

- Change to user:group is done _after_ the socket is bound, but still as  
early as possible.
- Mongrel will try to reap dead threads as soon as possible, especially  
when it gets overloaded with too many open files.
- Minor tweaks to documentation.

I’m not making this release official until after RailsConf because I  
want to see folks use it. It should help prevent more situations where  
Mongrel can go into a state where it’s not listening anymore. Next  
thing to come is the ability to set how long a thread has to be active  
before it’s considered old.

INSTALLING

As usual:

gem install mongrel --source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/

No win32 on this one since I’m going to release it officially right  
away.

Oops, that should be:

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