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:
A bunch of small fixes related to startup/configuration and hot
reload issues with HUP:
-
Variables in the user-generated config.ru files no longer
risk clobbering variables used in laucher scripts. -
signal handlers are initialized before the pid file is
dropped, so over-eager firing of init scripts won’t
mysteriously nuke a process. -
SIGHUP will return app to original state if an updated
config.ru fails to load due to {Syntax,Load}Error. -
unicorn_rails should be Rails 3 compatible out-of-the-box
(‘unicorn’ works as always, and is recommended for Rails 3) -
unicorn_rails is finally “working_directory”-aware when
generating default temporary paths and pid file -
config.ru encoding is the application’s default in 1.9,
not forced to binary like many parts of Unicorn. -
configurator learned to handle the “user” directive outside
of after_fork hook (which will always remain supported).
There are also various internal cleanups and possible speedups.
