Eventmachine talk - Mar 2008 - Thin 0.7.1 Fancy Pants release

Hey all,

Thin web server version 0.7.1 (codename Fancy Pants) is out!

== What''s new?

  * Clean stale PID files when starting as daemon, fixes #53 [Chu Yeow]
  * Require EventMachine 0.11.0 for UNIX domain sockets. Until it''s
released, install from:
    gem install eventmachine --source http://code.macournoyer.com
  * Ruby 1.8.5 compatibility, closes #49 [Wincent Colaiuta]
  * Move all EventMachine stuff out of Server, you can now create a
Thin Backend that
    does not depend on EventMachine.
  * Rename Connector to Backend. Extend Thin::Backends::Base to
implement your own.
  * Fix high memory usage with big POST body, fixes #48

== Get it!

Install Thin from RubyForge:

  gem install thin

Or using my mirror:

  gem install thin --source http://code.macournoyer.com

To use Thin with UNIX domain sockets you need EventMachine 0.11.0 from
my gem server (it''s not released yet):

  gem install eventmachine --source http://code.macournoyer.com
