New prerelease: 1.4.20-r2303 10

Posted by icy Wed, 17 Sep 2008 16:19:00 GMT

We would like to draw your attention to the latest prerelease of the 1.4 branch of lighttpd.

Again, you can get the prerelease from this url: http://opensu.se/~darix/lighttpd/

It should be the last prerelease and a final 1.4.20 to be released soon.


Changelog since last prerelease:

  • do not send content-encoding for 304 (#1754), thx yzlai
  • fix segfault for stat_cache(fam) calls with relative path (without ’/’, can be triggered by x-sendfile) (#1750)
  • fix splitting of auth-ldap filter
  • workaround ldap connection leak if a ldap connection failed (restarting ldap)
  • changed parser generation again as the previous fix broke building with some non-gnu make utils



If you want to get the latest source for any branch, you can get it from our svn repository.
Documentation to do so can be obtained from this page:
http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/Devel/Subversion
Bug reports or feature requests can be filed in our trac ticket system:
http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/newticket
Please make sure to check if there isn’t a ticket already here:
http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/report


Thank you for flying light.

    Good to see some development happening on lighttpd, I just wonder how many people like us have moved on to nginx. Now we depend on some of the things nginx only can do such as proxy_store, to use as an upfront CDN for our media. -Victor

    i like Lighty because it is the easiest one i have found to use mysql virtual hosts with, Apache is very difficult to set up in this manner and after looking at the nginx english wiki i can't really see anywhere where it suggests supporting mysql vhosts. Good to see a new release

    Uh-oh, http://secunia.com/advisories/32069/ - please release fix ASAP so OS vendors can apply fix ASAP. Since this gives malicious persons ability to DoS-attack some (popular and heavily loaded) sites, you should try to be reasonably fast in fixing such things.

    JohnTheUser: This has already been fixed in 1.4.20. And it was fixed before the advisories came out if you read the corresponding ticket.
