A Free Software, multi-threaded, non-blocking network application server designed for low _idle_ power consumption. It is primarily optimized for applications with occasional users which see little or no traffic. yahns currently hosts Rack/HTTP applications, but may eventually support other application types. Unlike some existing servers, yahns is extremely sensitive to fatal bugs in the applications it hosts.
Changes: reduced allocations and bugfixes This release fixes a bug where previously-configured-but-now-removed listeners were inherited across USR2 upgrades are not shutdown immediately in the child. There are also minor reductions in allocations which can save a few hundred bytes statically and also whenever write buffering is necessary for large responses. Some minor documentation updates improvements in extras, too. shortlog of changes since 1.5.0: README: add link to mailing list archives test_ssl: factor out server SSLContext creation doc: add design_notes document reduce File::Stat object allocations update comments about wbuf_close return values wbuf: lazily (re)create temporary file fix compatibility with unicorn.git skip tests requiring String#b on 1.9.3 use the monotonic clock under Ruby 2.1+ favor Class.new for method-less classes extras/proxy_pass: save memory in String#split arg extras/proxy_pass: do not name unused variable extras/proxy_pass: log exceptions leading to 502 extras/proxy_pass: flesh out upload support + tests acceptor: close inherited-but-unneeded sockets See the git repository for more: git clone git://yhbt.net/yahns Please note the disclaimer: yahns is extremely sensitive to fatal bugs in the apps it hosts. There is no (and never will be) any built-in "watchdog"-type feature to kill stuck processes/threads. Each yahns process may be handling thousands of clients; unexpectedly killing the process will abort _all_ of those connections. Lives may be lost! yahns hackers are not responsible for your application/library bugs. Use an application server which is tolerant of buggy applications if you cannot be bothered to fix all your fatal bugs. * git clone git://yhbt.net/yahns * http://yahns.yhbt.net/README * http://yahns.yhbt.net/NEWS.atom.xml * we like plain-text email yahns-public@yhbt.net * and archive all the mail we receive: http://yhbt.net/yahns-public/ lrg nabgure ubeevoyl-anzrq freire lrf, lnuaf vf frys-ubfgvat vgf bja fvgrf fvapr yngr 2013
