h1. Commercial Sponsorship
Mongrel is a free open source web server and will always remain that way, but
that doesn't mean that companies don't help to make it better.
Mongrel now has sponsorship from "EastMedia":http://www.eastmedia.com
in partnership with "VeriSign":http://www.verisign.com/ to make Mongrel
fast and stable enough for enterprise class loads (meaning "gigantic",
not "Java style"). Their sponsorship has made it possible to get large
pools of test servers, payment to myself for work done, and a real
application to use Mongrel on. Everyone should toss out a thanks
to them since this may mean I'll get to work on Mongrel full time
in the near future and it will raise the quality of Ruby application
hosting in general. Not to mention the fact that they are letting all
of my Mongrel work stay LGPL licensed and open source.
Other companies benefiting from Ruby should take this as an example. I
can think of quite a few things (Ruby 1.9 and a real virtual machine are
just two) that need some serious commercial cash to get them in gear. If
you're making cash off Ruby consider hiring a developer part-time,
full-time, or posting a bounty for something you need as well as the
community needs. There's no better time for enlightened self-interest than now.
The kind folks at "railsmachine.net":http://railsmachine.com/ have also donated
three VPS accounts for testing various installations on their hosting service.
They plan to use Mongrel as the default hosting setup in the very near future.

h2. Mar-27: Mongrel 0.3.12 -- Pre-Release
This release is a little different as it's larger than previous releases and
therefore needs to have more testing before I put it on the regular gem
servers. People interested in testing will install using:
$ gem uninstall mongrel
$ gem uninstall gem_plugin
$ gem install mongrel --source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/
Windows people may need to uninstall their services and re-install them. Please let me
know if this happens to you. Otherwise test this with your apps and tell me how it works.
Adventurous people on FreeBSD or Linux (maybe Solaris) might want to do "gem install sendfile"
as well to see if they get faster static file serving. Worked for me on FreeBSD no problems.
This release features an insane number of changes, too frequent to mention
in just this little new snippet, but here's the big ones:
* A more complete "Mongrel::Configurator":http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/rdoc/classes/Mongrel/Configurator.html and "Mongrel::Rails::RailsConfigurator":http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/rdoc/classes/Mongrel/Rails/RailsConfigurator.html
* The mongrel_rails script is implemented using the new Configurator scheme and works much better.
* Win32 start-up scripts are adapted to the new setup but not using the Configurator.
* You can pass a config file to mongrel_rails start and it will load that (command line options override).
* Graceful restart works more reliably (not in Win32 since it uses services).
* Reload works better and doesn't break the restart.
* More logging of the start-up process.
* There is a wicked nice debugging framework that logs object counts, open files, and request params. Try mongrel_rails start -B and look in log/mongrel_debug.
* The Rails specific components are now in Mongrel::Rails modules.
* More examples using the Mongrel::Configurator.
* Dramatic speed improvements on FreeBSD, especially if you install the ruby18-nopthreads version.
* Slight speed improvements on Mac OSX.
* Platforms that can install "ruby-sendfile":http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-sendfile will get an estimated 20% speed boost in static file serving. This is currently FreeBSD, Linux, and Solaris.
* Lots of little bug fixes and minor speed tweaks.
I'm holding the official 0.3.12 release until after Rails 1.1 is officially released so I can test it.
Please do the install process and try out your applications for me. I'll be posting some hand

The main thing with this release is that it works with edge Rails
