PRE-RELEASE: lighttpd 1.4.22rc1-r2402

PRE-RELEASE: lighttpd-1.4.19-r2118

After quite some time lighttpd is moving forward again. Please give this pre-release a try and check if it drops in nicely and doesn’t cause any new issues.

It is mostly a bug-release and we want to make sure it is a good release. If this pre-release passes your tests, we’ll put the real release online in a few days.

PRE-RELEASE: lighttpd-1.5.0-r1992

Some time passed since the last pre-release, time for an update.

Everyone who runs 1.5.0 already has to upgrade to get fixes several vulnerabilities that got fixed in the 1.4.x branch already.

If this release passes your requirements it will be the last 1.5.0 pre-release. Afterwards we will start the the normal 1.5.x series and will add the missing features in 1.5.1 and later.
