Unicorn 4.6.0 - Rack HTTP server for fast clients and Unix

Ruby
1

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:

This pre-release adds hijacking support for Rack 1.5 users.
See Rack documentation for more information about hijacking.
There is also a new --no-default-middleware/-N option
for the `unicorn’ command to ignore RACK_ENV within unicorn
thanks to Lin Jen-Shin.

There are only documentation and test-portability updates
since 4.6.0pre1, no code changes.

Just pushed out 4.6.1 with some minor fixups. Have fun.

Changes:

Unicorn::Const::UNICORN_VERSION is now auto-generated from
GIT-VERSION-GEN and always correct. Minor cleanups for
hijacking.

    unicorn 4.6.2 - HTTP parser fix for Rainbows!

This release fixes a bug in Unicorn::HttpParser#filter_body
which affected some configurations of Rainbows! There is
also a minor size reduction in the DSO.

(this parser fix only seems to affect Ruby 2.0.0)
