Rainbows! is an HTTP server for sleepy Rack applications. It is based on Unicorn, but designed to handle applications that expect long request/response times and/or slow clients. For Rack applications not heavily bound by slow external network dependencies, consider Unicorn instead as it simpler and easier to debug. However, if you find Unicorn too mainstream these days, you can get your indie cred right here by using Rainbows! today. - [http://rainbows.rubyforge.org/](http://rainbows.rubyforge.org/) - removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid - git://git.bogomips.org/rainbows.git Changes: This release fixes corrupted large response bodies for Ruby 1.8 users with the WriterThreadSpawn and WriterThreadPool models introduced in 0.93.0. This bug did not affect Ruby 1.9 users nor the users of any older concurrency models. There is also a strange new Rainbows::Sendfile middleware. It is used to negate the effect of Rack::Contrib::Sendfile, if that makes sense. See the RDoc or [http://rainbows.rubyforge.org/Rainbows/Sendfile.html](http://rainbows.rubyforge.org/Rainbows/Sendfile.html) for all the gory details. Finally, the RDoc for our test suite is on the website: [http://rainbows.rubyforge.org/Test\_Suite.html](http://rainbows.rubyforge.org/Test_Suite.html) I wrote this document back when the project started but completely forgot to tell RDoc about it. Personally, this test suite is one of my favorite parts of the project.
