Unicorn is a Rack HTTP server for Unix and fast clients Small fixes and documentation are the focus of this release. James Golick reported and helped me track down a bug that caused SIGHUP to drop the default listener (0.0.0.0:8080) if and only if listeners were completely unspecified in both the command-line and Unicorn config file. The Unicorn config file remains the recommended option for specifying listeners as it allows fine-tuning of the :backlog, :rcvbuf, :sndbuf, :tcp\_nopush, and :tcp\_nodelay options. There are some documentation (and resulting website) improvements. setup.rb users will notice the new section 1 manpages for `unicorn` and `unicorn_rails`, Rubygems users will have to install manpages manually or use the website. Edit: That’s not entirely true, I screwed up the package but you can get them from [http://unicorn.bogomips.org/unicorn.1](http://unicorn.bogomips.org/unicorn.1) and [http://unicorn.bogomips.org/unicorn\_rails.1](http://unicorn.bogomips.org/unicorn_rails.1) The HTTP parser got a 3rd-party code review which resulted in some cleanups and one insignificant bugfix as a result. Additionally, the HTTP parser compiles, runs and passes unit tests under Rubinius. The pure-Ruby parts still do not work yet and we currently lack the resources/interest to pursue this further but help will be gladly accepted. The website now has an Atom feed for new release announcements. Those unfamiliar with Atom or HTTP may finger removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid for the latest announcements. Eric W.
