darix just moved the svn-trees around. Now trunk/ is containing the code
for 1.5.0 (formerly known as branches/lighttpd-merge-1.4.x) and
branches/lighttpd-1.4.x is taking care of the 1.4.x series
(formerly branches/lighttpd-1.4.11-ssl-fixes).
r1352 got commited to
the 1.4.x-branch to fix a crash in 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
Over the last evenings I helped several lighty users to tune their
application stack. Instead of telling the same story over and over
again I wrote it down into a wiki page:
XCache was stable (the cacher stufs), but now becomes more stable
(installing, configuring), and seems a bit hot recently if you may
google for “php” +”xcache” :)
Thanks for your support and encourage, XCache will goes on and on..
In mod_cml is dead, long live mod_cml
I gave some hints about
mod_cml going to die soon.
With lighttpd 1.4.12 there will be a new module called
mod_magnet can attract
every request and decide on its further execution.
If you want you implement most of our current modules via mod_magnet,
e.g.:
A new pre-release has been uploaded with more fixes than the last
release and with a new, hot module:
mod_magnet . It is the
promised replacement for mod_cml.
The forum just got migrated to the new lighty-server. As long as the DNS is not update and as fallback, the old lighty server is proxying to the new host.
As a side-effect, registering a account in the forum works again. The trac on the new host also sends out notifications on ticket updates again.
