Phusion Passenger Package update to 2.0 RC1 10 Jun 08

If you’ve been following the buzz from RailsConf 2008 you’ll know that Phusion Passenger has gone to version 2.0 with a whole load of new goodies including:

• Merb Support via Rack
• Lower VM Usage
• Better load balancing and non-blocking file uploads

The package is on our repository at http://apt.brightbox.net and built for Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy).

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Hongli at Phusion to knock out a few bugs and make Phusion Passenger easier to package. That work has paid off and I was able to quickly release the updated Passenger package within minutes of getting the nod from the Phusion guys.

That’s why we love Free Software here at Brightbox.
