Ranch 2.1.0 has been released!

Ranch 2.1 adds counters for the number of connections accepted and terminated. They can be used to produce information about accept or shutdown rates or as a total number of connections handled by Ranch.

Ranch 2.1 also adds an alarm around the number of active connections a connection supervisor handles. When that number is high it is now possible to automatically perform an action, such as logging or gracefully shutting down idle connections.

Starting from Ranch 2.1 the {inet_backend,socket} option is accepted for TCP listeners. Ranch tests now also run with this option enabled. Note that there are known issues with the socket backend at this time.

We are providing a Prometheus collector as a separate project as well as a Grafana dashboard.

Thanks this time go to Jan Uhlig and Maria Scott for contributing the alarms and counters as well as other improvements that went into this release.

Ranch 2.1 requires Erlang/OTP 22 or above and is tested and supported on Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and Windows.

A complete list of changes can be found in the migration guide: Migrating from Ranch 2.0 to 2.1.
