Hey all,
Version 0.6.1 (codename Cheesecake) of the fastest Ruby server is out!
http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/
== What’s new?
Lots and lots of new features: config file support, uses less memory,
speed tweaks,
and UNIX domain socket connection support!
More info:
Changelog from 0.5.4:
-
Add support for connection through UNIX domain socket.
Use the --socket (-S) option w/ the thin script to configure the
socket filename.
Nginx support binding to a UNIX socket like this:upstream backend {
server unix:/tmp/thin.0.sock;
server unix:/tmp/thin.1.sock;
server unix:/tmp/thin.2.sock;
}Start your servers like this:
thin start -s3 -S/tmp/thin.sock
-
Remove Server#listen! method. Use Server#start instead.
-
Server can now yield a Rack::Builder to allow building an app in one
call:Server.start ‘0.0.0.0’, 3000 do
use Rack::CommonLogger
use Rack::ShowExceptions
map “/lobster” do
use Rack::Lint
run Rack::Lobster.new
end
end -
Add a very basic stats page through Stats adapter, load w/ --stats
and browse to /stats. -
Add --trace (-V) option to trace request/response and get backtrace
w/out all Ruby debug stuff. -
Add --config (-C) option to load options from a config file in thin
script [Matt T.]. -
Alter response headers to output directly to a string.
-
Improve specs stability.
-
Move request body to a Tempfile if too big (> 112 MB)
-
Remove useless check for max header size in Request (already done in
the parser)
== Get it!
sudo gem install thin
Might take some time for the gem mirrors to be updated, try adding
–source http://code.macournoyer.com to the command if it doesn’t work
If you installed a previous alpha version (if you have 0.6.1 already
installed)
uninstall it before: sudo gem uninstall thin
WARNING:
Thin is still alpha software, if you use it on your server you
understand the
risks that are involved.
