unicorn is an HTTP server for Rack applications designed to only serve
fast clients on low-latency, high-bandwidth connections and take
advantage of features in Unix/Unix-like kernels. Slow clients should
only be served by placing a reverse proxy capable of fully buffering
both the the request and response in between unicorn and slow clients.

Changes:

unicorn 6.0.0 - no more recycling Rack env

This release allocates a new Rack `env' hash for every request.
This is done for safety with internally-(thread|event)-using Rack
apps which expect to use `env' after the normal Rack response is
complete, but without relying on rack.hijack[1]. Thanks to
Dirkjan Bussink <***@gmail.com> for the patch:

The major version is bumped since:

1) there are performance regressions for some simple Rack apps

2) unsupported 3rd-party monkey patches which previously
relied on this behavior may be broken (our version of
OobGC was).

The test suite is also more reliable on multi-core systems
and Ruby 3.x.
