Thin 0.6.3 Ninja Cookie release

Ruby
1

Hey all,

Version 0.6.3 (codename Ninja Cookie) of the fastest Ruby server is out!

http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/

== What’s new?

Thin is now more flexible and extensible then ever and even easier to
deploy!

Changelog:

  • Add tasks for Vlad the Deployer in example/vlad.rake [cnantais]

  • Add Ramaze Rackup config file in example dir [tmm1]
    Use like this from you Ramaze app dir:

    thin start -r /path/to/thin/example/ramaze.ru

  • Add the --rackup option to load a Rack config file instead of the
    Rails adapter.
    So you can use any framework with the thin script and start
    cluster and stuff like that.
    A Rack config file is one that is usable through the rackup
    command and looks like this:

    use Rack::CommonLogger
    run MyCrazyRackAdapter.new(:uterly, ‘cool’)

    Then use it with thin like this:

    thin start --rackup config.ru

  • thin config --chrdir … -C thin/yml do not change current
    directory anymore, fixes #33.

  • Add a better sample god config file in example/thin.god that loads
    all info from config
    files in /etc/thin. Drop-in replacement for the thin runlevel
    service [Gump].

  • Add support for specifying a custom Connector to the server and
    add more doc about Server
    configuration.

  • Add a script to run thin as a runlevel service that can start at
    startup, closes #31 [Gump]
    Setup the service like this:

    sudo thin install /etc/thin

    This will install the boot script under /etc/init.d/thin. Then
    copy your config files to
    /etc/thin. Works only under Linux.

  • Set process name to ‘thin server (0.0.0.0:3000)’ when running as a
    daemon, closes #32.

  • Make sure chdir option from config file is used when present.

  • Raise an error when starting a server as a daemon and pid file
    already exist, fixes #27.
