Hello,

Today we are proud to announce the release of Rack 1.2.1.

= Rack, a modular Ruby webserver interface

Rack provides a minimal, modular and adaptable interface for developing  
web applications in Ruby. By wrapping HTTP requests and responses in  
the simplest way possible, it unifies and distills the API for web  
servers, web frameworks, and software in between (the so-called  
middleware) into a single method call.

The exact details of this are described in the Rack specification,  
which all Rack applications should conform to.

== Changes

- June 15th, 2010: Eleventh public release 1.2.1.
  - Make CGI handler rewindable
  - Rename spec/ to test/ to not conflict with SPEC on lesser  
operating systems

== Where can I get it?
