Hi Everyone,
Another note that there''s a pre-release available for non-win32
platforms that I''d like people to test out. As usual you can install
it
with:
gem install daemons (if you don''t have this)
gem install mongrel --source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/
This release adds some fantastic file management gear from why the lucky
stiff and Dan Kubb.
Why has added nice sendfile support and implemented streaming uploaded
files to a tmp file rather than into memory. If you''re doing a site
with uploads and downloads this release will really help.
Dan Kubb implemented conditional responses for files. What this does is
properly implement the if-modified-since semantics. This makes Mongrel
much much faster for mostly static sites.
Luis and I will be testing this stuff out on windows very soon and
should be getting this released this weekend. The release after this
will have a revamped win32 setup and will be the official 0.4
"Enterprisey Edition".
