spawn-fcgi removed from lighttpd src

As announced in an earlier post, spawn-fcgi has now been removed from the lighttpd tree.
spawn-fcgi has become a completely seperate project (located at https://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/spawn-fcgi/wiki)

Lighty 1.4 can still spawn fastcgi processes internally via mod_fastcgi of course.

Package maintainers are advised to provide packages for spawn-fcgi, to make it a dependency of lighttpd and to remove the binary from any existing package as soon as possible so spawn-fcgi can be updated even when there is no new lighttpd release.

Lighttpd 1.4.23 will not include the binary anymore.

PRE-RELEASE: lighttpd 1.4.22rc2-r2405

As a followup to rc1 of 1.4.22, rc2 has been published with 3 additional bugfixes.
Two of which are for FreeBSD users, the other one relating to mod_scgi.

You can get the pre-release from these urls:

PRE-RELEASE: lighttpd 1.4.22rc1-r2402

Unfortunately there was a bug introduced with version 1.4.21 of lighttpd which rendered the default vhost in mod_simple_vhost broken (always 404).

Therefor we would like to draw your attention to this new testing version.
