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-1.4.27rc1-r2724.tar.gz
download.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/snapshots-1.4.x/lighttpd-1.4.27rc1-r2724.tar.bz2
SHA1 checksums:
download.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/snapshots-1.4.x/lighttpd-1.4.27rc1-r2724.sha1sum
Please test it as much as possible and provide us with feedback.
A lot of testing ensures a good release.
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.
