Subject: [ANN] Thin 0.7.0 Spherical Cow release

Hey all,

Version 0.7.0 (codename Spherical Cow) of the fastest Ruby server is  
out!

http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/

== What's new?

Persistent connections (Keep-Alive) and Swifitply support!

  * Add --max-persistent-conns option to sets the maximum number of  
persistent connections.
    Set to 0 to disable Keep-Alive.
  * INT signal now force stop and QUIT signal gracefully stops.
  * Warn when descriptors table size can't be set as high as expected.
  * Eval Rackup config file using top level bindings.
  * Remove daemons gem dependency on Windows plateform, fixes #45.
  * Change default timeout from 60 to 30 seconds.
  * Add --max-conns option to sets the maximum number of file or  
socket descriptors that
    your process may open, defaults to 1024.
  * Tail logfile when stopping and restarting a demonized server,  
fixes #26.
  * Wrap application in a Rack::CommonLogger adapter in debug mode.
  * --debug (-D) option no longer set  so logging will be less verbose
    and Ruby won't be too strict, fixes #36.
  * Deprecate Server#silent in favour of Logging.silent.
  * Persistent connection (keep-alive) support.
  * Fix -s option not being included in generated config file, fixes  
#37.
  * Add Swiftiply support. Use w/ the --swiftiply (-y) option in the  
thin script,
    closes #28 [Alex MacCaw]
