lighttpd enters the Top5

This month the Web Server Survey adds public tracking of lighttpd, an open source server designed for high-performance sites that has been gaining popularity in recent months. Lighttpd is currently detected on 1.38 million sites for a 1.2% share of the web server market, well ahead of Zeus and moving up quickly on Sun. Lighttpd has a relatively small memory footprint and is optimized for a large number of parallel connections, which has made it popular on sites using applications based on AJAX or Ruby on Rails, or hosting environments for virtual private servers.

The news got picked up by:

With the release of 1.5.0 we aim for higher ranks and try to get ahead of Suns iplanet. You always need a goal: World Domination. :)

Congratulations. When release 1.5 will be ready? I would like to port FdAjax module to that version but I have no idea if the 1.5 module API is stable enough.
