We would like to draw your attention to the latest pre-release of the stable 1.4 branch of lighttpd.

You can get the pre-release from these urls:
download.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/snapshots-1.4.x/lighttpd-1.4.27rc2-r2758.tar.gz
download.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/snapshots-1.4.x/lighttpd-1.4.27rc2-r2758.tar.bz2
SHA1 checksums:
download.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/snapshots-1.4.x/lighttpd-1.4.27rc2-r2758.sha1sum

Please test it as much as possible and provide us with feedback.
A lot of testing ensures a good release.

New changes since rc1:

We fixed a race condition with mod_cgi responses; and a similar problem in mod_proxy
(forward response as soon at it is available).

There is a new fdevent handler “libev”; “linux-rtsig” got removed. The “libev” handler
should support solaris ports, so it might be especially interesting on solaris.

And the last commit changes a small bit how we handle IPv6; we now disable the “dual-stack”
IPv6 sockets in almost all cases, see IPv6-Config for details.

Changes already in rc1:

The most important change is the SSL_CTX_set_options fix, as lighttpd
doesn’t start without it if you use a recent ssl library; most distributions
included it with 1.4.26 for a while now.

We hope to have fixed some problems with mod_proxy and we really hope TLS SNI works now,
and lighty doesn’t use the wrong certs anymore; it would be nice if you could test this :)

We fixed a segfault in mod_compress; if you disable etags, mod_compress won’t try to cache
on disk anymore (and doesn’t set etag).

If no showstoppers are encountered, there will be a final release soon.
