There is a new prerelease available – including a fix for a segfault with usernames starting with a digit and not existing users for a given userid and IPv6 support.
Announce in redmine: Release candidate: spawn-fcgi 1.6.2-rc1-r42
Please test it as much as possible and provide us with feedback :)
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 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.

As mentioned before, we planned to extract spawn-fcgi into its own project and remove it from lighttpd.
Now the first standalone release has been published, starting at version 1.6.0.
Read more about it in the announcement: Release: spawn-fcgi 1.6.0
Future release announcements regarding spawn-fcgi will be published at redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/spawn-fcgi/news so please keep that in mind when looking for updates.
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.

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.

There are several versions of spawn-fcgi (one in lighttpd 1.4.x, one in 1.5.x and one in cherokee), which makes packaging very hard (e.g.: debian packages spawn-fcgi from lighty as “spawn-fcgi.lighttpd” – making usage complicated as your scripts are probably just using “spawn-fcgi”).
Additionally, keeping the sources and bug fixes synchronized is just too much work (ok, the one in cherokee isn’t our problem :) ).
Therefore we decided to split spawn-fcgi into a new project which will start with version 1.6.0 (and will be independent of lighttpd releases or versions).
We plan to remove spawn-fcgi from lighttpd-1.4.x after the release of 1.4.22.
In case you would like to test a spawn-fcgi version with more features (options for chowning the socket), see here: http://cgit.stbuehler.de/gitosis/spawn-fcgi/about/ (needs glib)
