RELEASE: lighttpd 1.4.12 14

Posted by jan Sat, 23 Sep 2006 17:17:00 GMT

I’m very proud to announce the release of 1.4.12.

After 8 pre-releases and several cross-compiles and test-runs no new bugs were found and you should have a solid and stable release in your hands.

Over the 1.4.11 was available for download (03/2006 – now) the number of lighty installations raised from 27 103 to 120 442 according to netcraft.com. That’s amazing. It was important for us to create a release is good enough to replace 1.4.11.

This release fixes several long-standing bugs like
  • SSL hangs with Opera (we added work-around for a bug in Opera)
  • a long list of fixes for SSL in general
  • added ssl.use-sslv2 and ssl.cipher-list for all who have to comply with PCI
and only added a 2 really new features:
  • (experimental) LOCK support for webdav
  • mod_magnet as long-term replacement for mod_cml
On mod_cml:
  • mod_cml is deprecated from now on
  • it will be removed in 1.5.0
  • mod_magnet provides the same functionality and more with a cleaner syntax and in a more generic form

ChangeLog:

    The crash reported in #876 is critical enough to fire another release shortly after 1.4.12 was released. It also contains some minor bugfixes and a better check for lua 5.1. If you are running on Debian you can compile mod-magnet with —with-...

    Great news! Any idea when the FreeBSD port will be updated?

    Thanks for the release and development in general. But still no working WebDAV functionality when using OSX as client :( Looking forward :) Cu, Stefan

    As Web Servers go, lighty rocks!!! And the fixes just make lighty even better. Unfortunately, I'm with Stefan Soeliner on the WebDAV front. I'm trying to get rid of ftp and afp, and WebDAV (when working) looks like the solution.

    Still no mod_deflate (mod_compress) for dynamic content generated by FastCGI?

    Freedude, I just ran portsnap on FreeBSD 6.1 and lighttpd 1.4.12 is available.

    What happened to mod_proxy_core? I don't see it in the release...

    Over the 1.4.11 was available for download (03/2006 – now) the number of lighty installations raised from 27 103 to 120 442 according to netcraft.com. Raised to 160 070 already (again +30%)! The average monthly growth rate of lighttpd distribution over the past 28 months is 40%! for comparison: thttpd: 171 541 Zeus: 522 311 both with negative growth rates. After those only Apache and IIS are left ;-) Great job!
