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:

Deployments that suspend or hibernate servers should no longer  
have workers killed off (and restarted) upon resuming.

For Linux users of {raindrops}[[http://raindrops.bogomips.org/](http://raindrops.bogomips.org/)]  
(v0.2.0+) configuration is easier as raindrops can now  
automatically detect the active listeners on the server  
via the new Unicorn.listener\_names singleton method.

For the pedantic, chunked request bodies without trailers are no  
longer allowed to omit the final CRLF. This shouldn’t affect  
any real and RFC-compliant clients out there. Chunked requests  
with trailers have always worked and continue to work the same  
way.

The rest are mostly small internal cleanups and documentation  
fixes. See the commit logs for full details.
