Engine Yard Release Notes for November 27th, 2018

Action: You apply the following changes the next time you click the Upgrade button for your Engine Yard Gentoo 2016 environment.

Note: For clarity, since we now have 2 Gentoo stacks, we refer to this stack as the Engine Yard Gentoo 2016 stack. You can access it by using the Stack select field in the Environment UI: stable-v5-3.0.50

It's best practice to upgrade your Engine Yard Gentoo 2016 (stable-v5) stack regularly for the latest security and product updates. This week's updates:

1. Unicorn workers are now restarted more gracefully during deployment
2. Collectd swap calculation happens at runtime instead of compile now
3. Chef is now able to detect installed packages with an alpha character to the end the version string thus skipping re-installation of already installed packages
4. Added an ability to change puma restart sleep timeout value
