• Added orphan process monitoring to Sidekiq.
• Updated passenger config detach change.
• Hide the Passenger version in the X-Powered-By header.
• Added checks on the Passenger5 startup script to prevent it from repeatedly creating '/tmp/passenger-standalone.*' folders.
• Dynamic Passenger worker allocation based on number of distinct applications deployed.
• Added custom db-libs cookbook for use with external-db environments.
• Prevent db-ssl cookbook from waiting on offline/inaccessible hosts when copying keys.
