lighttpd 1.4.1

Just a few minutes ago lighttpd 1.4.1 has been released, shortly after lighttpd 1.4.0 which had some user-visible problems.

1.4.1 fixes those bugs, stabilizes the SSL support on OpenBSD and finishes the WebDAV support in mod_webdav to Class 1 (all options except LOCK/UNLOCK).

lighttpd 1.3.15 released

1.3.15 is like a best-of album from your favourite band which contains all the good song, a few remixes and one or two new songs, just to make sure that you buy it.

We did the same: the core stuff got bugfixes and two new modules were added which might interest you:

  • mod_cml

Cache Meta Language

Move the cache-hit decision into the webserver and only call the external language on cache-miss to speed up dynamic apps dramaticly -> cluster-enabled via memcache

  • mod_trigger_b4_dl

Trigger before download

For our content-providers which require that the user visitsa URL before he is allowed to download the content -> cluster-enabled via memcache

Changes

  • added mod_cml
  • added mod_trigger_b4_dl
  • added encoding to mod_dirlisting
  • added ?auto to mod_status
  • relaxed handling of characters in URIs even more
  • fixed detection of sendfile() on Linux 2.4.x
  • fixed comparision of buffers for short strings
  • server.errorfile-prefix is now conditional
  • fixed mod_rrdtool to close STDERR
