0.11.1 / 2010-09-02

  • Reseed the random number generator after fork().

  • Improve Eventlet worker.

  • Fix Django command run_gunicorn.

0.11.0 / 2010-08-12

  • Improve dramatically performances of Gevent and Eventlet workers

  • Optimize HTTP parsing

  • Drop Server and Date headers in start_response when provided.

  • Fix latency issue in async workers

0.10.1 / 2010-08-06

  • Improve gevent’s workers. Add “egg:gunicorn#gevent_wsgi” worker using gevent.wsgi and “egg:gunicorn#gevent_pywsgi” worker using gevent.pywsgi . “egg:gunicorn#gevent” using our own HTTP parser is still here and is recommended for normal uses. Use the “gevent.wsgi” parser if you need really fast connections and don’t need streaming, keepalive or ssl.

  • Add pre/post request hooks

  • Exit more quietly

  • Fix gevent dns issue

0.10.0 / 2010-07-08

  • New HTTP parser.

  • New HUP behaviour. Re-reads the configuration and then reloads all worker processes without changing the master process id. Helpful for code reloading and monitoring applications like supervisord and runit.

  • Added a preload configuration parameter. By default, application code is now loaded after a worker forks. This couple with the new HUP handling can be used for dev servers to do hot code reloading. Using the preload flag can help a bit in small memory VM’s.

  • Allow people to pass command line arguments to WSGI applications. See: examples/alt_spec.py

  • Added an example gevent reloader configuration: examples/example_gevent_reloader.py.

  • New gevent worker “egg:gunicorn#gevent2”, working with gevent.wsgi.

  • Internal refactoring and various bug fixes.

  • New documentation website.
