Finally! I''ve released Mongrel 0.3.13 OFFICIALLY to the public for better or worse. This release is pretty huge compared to previous releases. It''s got oodles of fixes, design improvements, hosting enhancements, win32 changes, and the release even works with the latest cygwin. Read all about it at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/news.html GETTING 0.3.13 Most people do this: $ gem install mongrel And then go to town. It is 0.3.13 so you shouldn''t run this right on your production site, but instead test it with your app before going production. WIN32 Things have changed for the win32 world, but hopefully for the better. The only annoyance is you install one more thing to get the service support: $ gem install mongrel $ gem install mongrel_service This release fixes the problem where upgrading moves the service runner script, so future upgrades will be much smoother. The other big change is that you''ll have to re-install your services and learn to use mongrel_rails service:: commands. Read http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/win32.html for complete information. ** There is a bug in win32-service that prevents us from shutting down properly. Just ignore the exception complaint.** As a side note, this release also works well with cygwin, and you can even run your mongrel servers in daemon mode just like on Unix. It''s slower but might mean you can do capistrano and mongrel_cluster support in the future. Very hot. DOCUMENTATION The list of stuff in this release is pretty big, so read through this documentation to get an idea of what''s changed: * News -- http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/news.html * Documentation -- http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/index.html There''s currently documentation for deploying under Pound, Lighttpd, Litespeed, and other goodies. Documentation is in the works for lots of other stuff, but if you see a blank page then feel free to volunteer. BUGS Report the bugs at http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?atid=5145&group_id=1306&func=browse and feel free to join the mailing list at http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users if you want to get announcements or ask questions. Enjoy the weekend! And thanks to all the people who wrote documentation, tested pre-releases, and begged me to release earlier. -- Zed A. Shaw http://www.zedshaw.com/ http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/

[Rails] Re: [ANN] Mongrel Web Server 0.3.13 OFFICIAL Release
I''ve recently came across this project and am anxious to get it implemented. I just have a question (actually a couple): I''ve attempted to do a gem update (had already installed mongrel) and didn''t receive the update. Is the convention for mongrel always going to be an install? I looked at the mongrel site and noticed the email lists. Is there anyone to sign up for announcement emails like this one? Actually that just doesn''t go for Mongrel. Is there an announcements lists somewhere? I really don''t have the time to read through user posts every day and with this volume, it would be easy for me to miss something. However, I really would like to keep up with project updates and new projects. I''m looking forward to my move to Mongrel. Thanks for the all the hard work. -andy -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Typically the update fails for folks who have extra weirdness in their gem setup though. If you don''t get the update, try it again as some of the mirrors are slow to update for some folks.> I looked at the mongrel site and noticed the email lists.

I begun working with the setup using LiteSpeed (why haven''t I noticed this cool web server before!?!). I''m really favoring Litespeed and Mongrel now after any other alternatives. I''m moving my server over from Lighty and FastCGI to Litespeed and Mongrel. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
