Mongrel hasn't seen a release for quite some time now, while Unicorn is still being maintained. I'm guessing that's the main reason behind the commented-out-Mongrel-to-commented-out-Unicorn change. I think it's commented out by default because the Rails team doesn't want to force any particular development server by default. The uncommented version is there to make you aware of the choice and to make it easy to select that choice.
It should be noted that using Phusion Passenger Standalone as development server does not require one to specify it in the Gemfile. 'passenger start' just works. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
