Hey all, Version 0.6.1 (codename Cheesecake) of the fastest Ruby server is out! [http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/](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: > **[Get intimate with your load balancer tonight!](https://macournoyer.wordpress.com/2008/01/26/get-intimate-with-your-load-balancer-tonight/)** > > The Thin Cheesecake release is out (v0.6.1)! sudo gem install thin That tasty and sweet Cheesecake release comes with some new sweet topping: config file support, uses less memory, some speed tweak… 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: - Remove Server#listen! method. Use Server#start instead. - Server can now yield a Rack::Builder to allow building an app in one call: - 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](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. == Contribute If you’re using Thin, let me know and I’ll put your site on [http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/users/](http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/users/) Thin is driven by an active community of passionate coders and benchmarkers.

Sorry all. I was reading the list and fell for my daughter’s distraction. In two seconds flat she’d unlocked my ipod and sent a reply. Curse you Apple your uis so easy a 18 month old can master them! -Dane Sent from my iPod Touch
