Unicorn is a HTTP server for Rack applications designed to only serve  
fast clients on low-latency, high-bandwidth connections and take  
advantage of features in Unix/Unix-like kernels. Slow clients should  
only be served by placing a reverse proxy capable of fully buffering  
both the the request and response in between Unicorn and slow clients.

Changes:

This release fixes a regression introduced in 0.93.3 where  
timed-out worker processes run a chance of not being killed off  
at all if they’re hung. While it’s not ever advisable to have  
requests take a long time, we realize it’s not easy to fix  
everything 🙂
