unicorn 5.3.0.pre1
A largish release with several new features.
Simon Eskildsen contributed heavily using TCP_INFO under Linux
to implement the (now 5 year old) check_client_connection feature:

https://bogomips.org/unicorn-public/?q=s:check_client_connection&d:..

This also led to FreeBSD and OpenBSD portability improvements in
one of our dependencies, raindrops:

Jeremy Evans contributed several new features. First he
implemented after_worker_exit to aid debugging:
https://bogomips.org/unicorn/Unicorn/Configurator.html#method-i-after_worker_exit
https://bogomips.org/unicorn-public/?q=s:after_worker_exit&d:..

And then security-related features to isolate workers. Workers
may now chroot to drop access to the master filesystem, and the
new after_worker_ready configuration hook now exists to aid with
chroot support in workers:
https://bogomips.org/unicorn/Unicorn/Configurator.html#method-i-after_worker_ready
https://bogomips.org/unicorn/Unicorn/Worker.html#method-i-user
https://bogomips.org/unicorn-public/?q=s:after_worker_ready&d:..
20170324&x=t#t
https://bogomips.org/unicorn-public/?q=s:chroot&d:..
20170324&x=t#t
Additionally, workers may run in a completely different VM space
(nullifying preload_app and any CoW savings) with the new
worker_exec option:
https://bogomips.org/unicorn/Unicorn/Configurator.html#method-i-worker_exec
https://bogomips.org/unicorn-public/?q=s:worker_exec&d:..
20170324&x=t#t
There are also several improvements to FreeBSD and OpenBSD
support with the addition of these features.
