Hey all,

Thin web server version 0.7.1 (codename Fancy Pants) is out!

== What’s new?

- Clean stale PID files when starting as daemon, fixes #53 [Chu Yeow]
- Require EventMachine 0.11.0 for UNIX domain sockets. Until it’s  
released, install from:  
gem install eventmachine --source [http://code.macournoyer.com](http://code.macournoyer.com)
- Ruby 1.8.5 compatibility, closes #49 [Wincent C.]
- Move all EventMachine stuff out of Server, you can now create a  
Thin Backend that  
does not depend on EventMachine.
- Rename Connector to Backend. Extend Thin::Backends::Base to  
implement your own.
- Fix high memory usage with big POST body, fixes #48

== Get it!

Install Thin from RubyForge:

gem install thin

Or using my mirror:

gem install thin --source [http://code.macournoyer.com](http://code.macournoyer.com)

To use Thin with UNIX domain sockets you need EventMachine 0.11.0 from  
my gem server (it’s not released yet):

gem install eventmachine --source [http://code.macournoyer.com](http://code.macournoyer.com)
