Key fixes include: a SIGINT race where Ctrl-C could bypass Thread.handle_interrupt causing workers to miss graceful shutdown deadlines; a heap-use-after-free in fiber context switching; and a TracePoint bug with optimized bytecode. HTTP reliability improvements cover safe retry semantics with Request#rewind! and Request#retry!, stale connection detection via peek_partial, and better HTTP/2 error mapping. A new perfect-hash MIME registry reduces Ruby heap usage. Falcon gains a cluster mode with per-worker listener ownership, Envoy EDS integration for dynamic discovery, and ORCA-based load reporting so traffic is routed by actual worker capacity rather than assumed equality. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
