Subject: [ANN] Mongrel 0.1.1 -- A Fast Ruby Web Server (It Works Now, Maybe)

Hi All,

I previously announce Mongrel 0.1.0, but since I released that late  
at night it of course had errors.  This is just a small announcement  
for the fixed source:

http://www.zedshaw.com/downloads/mongrel-0.1.1.tar.bz2

Please grab this one and give it a try.


INSTALL

You can grab the above source and then do:

   rake
   ruby -Ilib examples/simpletest.rb &
   curl http://localhost:3000/test

It should print out "hello!".  Check the source of examples/ 
simpletest.rb to see how it's used.

*** It requires Ruby 1.8.4 to work and a C compiler to compile a  
small portable extension.  ***


WHAT IT IS

Mongrel is a web server I wrote this week that performs *much* better  
than WEBrick (1350 vs 175 req/sec) and only has one small C  
extension.  I'm looking to make Mongrel the answer to Java's Tomcat  
as a means of hosting Ruby web applications.   Feel free to send me  
your dreams about a (sort of) Ruby hosting library.


Special thanks to Ezra and Sascha for testing and finding this.
