- RequestStore is now a required dependency
- State only flows in one direction into the child threads and not back.
Addresses the use of Thread.current and the potential issues when used in the context of multi-threaded web server and replaces it with RequestStore when the gem can be loaded.
request_store is an optional dependency for when working within the context of a multi-threaded web server. In that context Threads can be reused for different request causing state from a previous request to stick around to the next request. Unless your are manually reinitializing or clearing the state in your own Rack Middleware (at the start of a request) it is recommended that you also include the request_store gem.
if you use Thread.current, and you use [a multi-threaded web server] ..., watch out! Values can stick around longer than you'd expect, and this can cause bugs."
No changes from v0.2.0, but it is being promoted to production ready. It's been used on multiple production environments for 3 months without issues.
- Addressing issue of args not being passed to thread block when creating a Thread and passing args to the initializer.
