RELEASE: lighttpd 1.4.13 17

Posted by jan Tue, 10 Oct 2006 10:18:00 GMT

Only 2 weeks after .12 hit the servers we have a new release cleaning up the issues that were introduced by it.

On the fix side we have:
  • fixed a seg-fault in the HTTP-Request splitting
  • fixed long-standing bug with Content-Length and HEAD requests
  • fixed a possible abort of a upload if xattr is enabled
New are
  • mod-magnet finally handles ‘require “lfs”’ without complaining
  • mod-magnet got light.stat() which uses the stat-cache
  • mod-webdav supports LOCK if compiled with—with-webdav-locks
Debian user have to compile their lua-support with: 
$ configure --with-lua=lua5.1 ...
as their lua-5.1 package isn’t called ‘lua’.

Enjoy this release and watch out for 1.5.0 on the horizon. :)

PRE-RELEASE: lighttpd-1.4.13-r1385 1

It looks like mod_magnet gets more and more attraction.

Against the least pre-release we have some minor bug-fixes and the new lighty.stat() function for mod-magnet which is using our internal stat-cache to reduce the number of stat() calls which hit the kernel. darix had some nice benchmarks on it.

PRE-RELEASE: lighttpd-1.4.13-r1370.tar.gz

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-lua=lua5.1
