SpeedyCGI 2.20 pre-release 1 is available for testing at:
http://daemoninc.com/SpeedyCGI/download.html
The official 2.20 release should be coming soon, assuming there are no
major problems with the code.
The changes since version 2.11 are:
- Exit status is now passed from the backend to the frontend.
The frontend now exits soon after the backend exits instead of
when all sockets close.
- Fixed bug where alarm's were unusable from within perl code.
- Signal handling in the backend has been cleaned up. Signal
settings will no longer be altered between perl runs.
- Find scripts by dev/ino/group-name instead of by dev/ino
- In the "speedy" executable buffering has been changed so
that BufsizGet and BufsizPut are now maximum values instead of
absolute values. The buffers will start small and grow
to this value if needed. The default values for these options
have been increased.
- Backend allocation is now controlled better. Another backend isn't
allocated until the previous backend has had a chance to start.
This should reduce the tendency to use too many backends when the
load fluctuates.
- Initially compiled perl-code is now shared among interpreters
within the same group (or same script if not using groups).
- To implement the new shared perl code and exit status features,
an extra parent process is created for each group (or for each
script, if not using groups). This process should use very little
cpu or un-shared memory.
- New code provides doubly linked lists for all slots in the
temp file. This eliminates some of the more obscure linked list
code in various places, and enables some minor performance
improvements.
