lighttpd-prerelease

PRE-RELEASE: lighttpd-1.5.0-r1691.tar.gz

A new pre-release on the road to stabilize 1.5.0.

Most of the work went into mod-proxy-core and new platforms:

  • m-p-c can handle uploads via APJ13 which required some larger patches
  • we should compile fine on solaris and IRIX again
  • kqueue should work too again
  • we compile natively on win32 (staticly and dynamicly)

The is the first official release that compiles natively on win32. Read the instructions on docs/build-win32.txt if you want to build yourself. It even starts :)

I have to say thanks to all the testers on the IRC channel, to jtiai for the win32 patches and jakabosky for the hard work on mod-proxy-core.

PRE-RELEASE: lighttpd-1.5.0-r1605.tar.gz

A lot of changes made it into the svn recently. It is time again to spread the code to more testers than just the few early adaptors who are using the svn-trunk/

Please try out the new stuff around async-io and dynamic compression of content. Even directory-listings are now automaticly compressed. Just load mod_deflate and set

deflate.mimetypes = ( "text/html" )

ChangeLog (r1605):

  • added check for leading slashes in mod_rewrite
  • improved async-io performance for files between 4k and 16k
  • fixed compression of static files in mod_deflate
  • fixed configure check for the library providing aio_read()
  • fixed moddirlisting, modstaticfile and the internal error-pages for mod_deflate
  • fixed compilation on FreeBSD and MacOS X

ChangeLog (r1593):

  • added O_NOATIME support to the network-backends linux-sendfile and writev
  • added a portable, threaded network-backend based on glib’s gthread
  • added threaded stat()
  • added url.redirect-code to mod_redirect to set other HTTP status-codes than 302
  • added filter-API and mod_chunked and mod_deflate for dynamic compression
  • added a static balancer for mod-proxy-core
  • added $HTTP[“request-method”] and $PHYSICAL[“path”] conditionals
  • fixed X-Sendfile support in mod-proxy-core
  • fixed crash if mtime is 0
  • added cmake as experimental build-system
  • fixed urls in AJP13-protocol of mod-proxy-core
  • added support for “now” and “weeks” to mod-expire
  • added mod-magnet

PRE-RELEASE: lighttpd-1.4.13-r1385

It looks like mod_magnet gets more and more attraction.

Against the least pre-release we have some minor bug-fixes and the new lighty.stat() function for mod-magnet which is using our internal stat-cache to reduce the number of stat() calls which hit the kernel. darix had some nice benchmarks on it.

pre-release of 1.3.14

The last release of lighttpd is now 3 month ago and several patches are waiting for their release.

Next to several bug-fixes it contains a simplified CARP (Cache Array Routing Protocol) like load balancing for mod_proxy and a new mod_scgi for WSGI + python.

The first public pre-release has been upload and is meant for a wider testing than the svn-tree.

Please don’t put that on a production system yet even it contains mostly bugfixes.
