Hey all,

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

[http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/](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:

- 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:

- 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:

- 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.

== Get it!

sudo gem install thin

Or using my mirror:

risks that are involved.
