Unicorn is an 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:

Configuration files paths given on the command-line are no  
longer expanded. This should make configuration reloads  
possible when a non-absolute path is specified for --config-file  
and Unicorn was deployed to a symlink directories (as with  
Capistrano). Since deployments have always been strongly  
encouraged to use absolute paths in the config file, this  
change does not affect absolute path users.

This is our first gem release using gemcutter. And we _just_  
got it working while I was writing this message :\>
