[ANN] Thin 0.5.1 LOLCAT released
Marc-Andre Cournoyer
Version 0.5.1 (codename LOLCAT) of the fastest Ruby server is out!
Thin is a Ruby web server that glues together 3 of the best Ruby libraries in web history:
* the Mongrel parser: the root of Mongrel speed and security
* Event Machine: a network I/O library with extremely high scalability, performance and stability
* Rack: a minimal interface between webservers and Ruby frameworks
Which makes it, with all humility, the most secure, stable, fast and extensible Ruby web server
bundled in an easy to use gem for your own pleasure.
== What's new?
Even though Thin has been made public only 4 days ago, lots of things have happened since:
* Ruby 1.9 compatibility
* Better Rails adapter
* Thin support included in Ramaze and Vintage frameworks (Thin can also run Rails, Camping, Merb and more)
* Some bug fixes in header parsing
And some amazing numbers:

examined problem with Thin: That login on certain Rails apps didn't
work due to session or cookie data not being set/being deleted/being
ignored. With the previous release login in a standard installation of
Beast worked, but for a standard installation of RadiantCMS it didn't.
Now it works for both, so some sort of cookie/session/header problem
must have been resolved. Thanks!
Best regards,

Indeed, that was the "Some bug fixes in header parsing" part.
The problem occurred when there was more then one Set-Cookie header in
the response. This happen when you more then one cookie in your app
(one for the session + one other).
Glad it fixed your problem!

a fresh copy of mephisto that
was 'working' failed to let one of my directors log in. Sadly we went
back to mongrel but I had every intention
of logging this such issue. Looks like you guys were all over it!
Top stuff.

production, I admire you!
I'd be interested to know how you set it up? Are you running a
cluster? How are you launching the cluster?
Don't hesitate to report any problem in the future, through this group
or send me an email directly!

that were started up with a simple rake task.
It is / was running mephisto for a blog that we're going
to launch once its populated with a lil' content.
I'll try to keep logging thin relations here.
Cheers
