Alright folks, after nearly a month of pounding and beating up the Mongrel 1.0 RC1 release we''re putting out the official 1.0.1 release. Read all about it at the (much funnier) news posting: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/news.html For those people in a hurry, the gems should hit the mirrors and you can install using your usual commands. Refer the the above page for more help. I''m really happy with this release, but as usual shoot me bugs and we''ll fix them up. There is already a planned release soon for a minor tweak to the win32 gem dependencies, but that won''t impact anyone. ONE YEAR ALMOST EXACTLY I went and looked, and it seems I started working on Mongrel officially in January last year, with the site being posted on Feb 12th 2006. Seems kind of weird that it was a full year of development, but that''s the reality of fast paced open source development. YOU FOLKS ROCK Thank you to everyone who''s helped out and enjoyed being in on the jokes. I''m hoping to plan a few nice gestures for contributors and the faithful users. I''m planning unholy retribution for the non-believers ;-> I''m also going to write a few blog postings over the next month as a retrospective on Mongrel and what it''s been like this last year. I think it''d be really cool if people on the list who benefit from Mongrel can thank the people who wrote docs, submitted patches, bugs, and got Mongrel to where it is now. And now, a break while the next big thing is planned. All suggestions welcome (even just "stay the course"). Have fun, and hopefully I''ll meet people at the next RailsConf. -- Zed A.

Congratulations !
I''ll take advantage of 1.0.1 to reiterate my proposal of French
translation.
First time I did so I was a bit intimidated by the translation toolset you
suggested (webgen/svn).
Now that the doggy is no longer a pup, the documerntation is more likely to
remain stable long enough to justify the effort. In addition, I''m about
to
start using RoR/Mongrel professionally (as opposed to merely playing around
with it) with more time to invest in this technology.
So would it be possible for the Mongrel team to :
1) Single out docs that are still relevant and stable enough to warrant
translation (and weed out the rest ?).
2) Provide technical how-to for translating part of the website (without
messing it up :).
Translated documentation would certainly foster Mongrel adoption in France
(some people are a bit touchy about national identity, or they just
can''t
read English).
I guess other people might want to translate into other languages (I seem to
remember an Italian proposal) so maybe it would be worth having a
translators page on the website with relevant instructions.
Regards,
Philippe LACHAISE

A huge thanks to Zed and the contributors to Mongrel. Mongrel makes Rails an even more attractive option. Without it, I doubt I could have sold the idea of switching. Thanks again! -andy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/attachments/20070123/34b61a00/attachment.html
I concur completely with Andrew, and I hate to jump on the dog pile late, but kudos to Zed and the gang! This is a huge milestone for Mongrel. I was quickly losing faith in Rails using FastCGI, and Mongrel came in just at the right time to save the day for me. Ever since I switched, my phantom 500 errors disappeared, and there was a huge speed increase. Sorry to sound like an infomercial there, just wanted to say thanks and congrats!

Zed et. all, Phenomenal Job! Thanks for all the hard work and dedication to create such a great piece of software. Zed, I especially enjoyed your use of a Ragel state macine to make the system solid.

We (CSU, Chico) haven''t made the migration from Apache+FastCGI yet, but we are chomping at the bit (long story that hopefully will contribute a little to the docs) or rather gnawing at the bone I guess.

Thank you to everyone involved. It''s so nice to be able to essentially ignore my server and assume that it''s just going to work properly. DiscgolfTV.com [1] has been running mongrel in production since version 0.3.12.4 with pound directing traffic on the front end. I''ve had very few issues, and nothing that I couldn''t work out easily enough. So yeah.

Basically it will parse the config/mongrel_cluster.yml and spawn all the needed process. Also, I must add, will automaticaly monitor and re-spawn dead processes, how cool is that? Ah? ;-) pen or pound is a "no no" on windows. they require cygwin compatibility layer, which is a waste of performance. I''ve implemented a simple TCP balancer solution for one of our customers, but its under contract, I hope could convince them to release it Open-Source and we will support branch witht he internal version, still yet to figure out this... I''m glad that I''m not the only one using (or forced to use) win32! At least we drop some useful tools there! (ruby+rails+mongrel) :-) A bit late: congrats Zed!

Thanks Zed and the family for letting us play with your extremely well trained mongrel. Also thanks to Luis Lavena for his work for those of us stuck in the windows world.
