PRE-RELEASE: lighttpd 1.4.27rc2-r2758

Abidoon — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 15:12:02 +0000

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:
http://download.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/snapshots-1.4.x/lighttpd-1.4.27rc2-r2758.tar.gz
http://download.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/snapshots-1.4.x/lighttpd-1.4.27rc2-r2758.tar.bz2
SHA1 checksums:
http://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.

Changelog since 1.4.26:

Fix handling return value of SSL_CTX_set_options (fixes #2157, thx mlcreech)
Fix mod_proxy HUP handling (send final chunk, fix usage counter)
mod_proxy: close connection on write error (fixes #2114)
Check uri instead of physical path for directory redirect
Fix detecting git repository (fixes #2173, thx ncopa)
[mod_compress] Fix segfault when etags are disabled (fixes #2169)
Reset uri.authority before TLS servername handling, reset all “keep-alive” data in connection_del (fixes #2125)
Print double quotes properly when dumping config file (fixes #1806)
Include IP addresses on error log on password failures (fixes #2191)
Fix stalls while reading from ssl sockets (fixes #2197)
Fix etag formatting on boxes with 32-bit longs
Fix two compiler warnings
mod_accesslog: fix %p for ipv6 sockets (fixes #2228, thx jo.henke)
mod_fastcgi: Send 502 “Bad Gateway” if we couldn’t open the file for X-Sendfile (fixes #2226)
mod_staticfile: add debug output if we ignore a file with static-file.exclude-extensions (fixes #2215)
mod_cgi: fix race condition leaving response not forwarded to client (fixes #2217)
mod_accesslog: Fix var declarations mixed in source (fixes #2233)
mod_status: Add version to status page (fixes #2219)
mod_accesslog: optimize accesslog_append_escaped (fixes #2236, thx crypt)
autotools: don’t recreate parser files with lemon after lemon rebuild
openssl: silence annoying error messages for errno==0 (fixes #2213)
array.c: improve array_get_unused_element to check data type; fix mem leak if unused_element didn’t find a matching entry (fixes #2145)
add check to stop loading plugins twice
cleanup fdevent code, removed linux-rtsig handler, replaced some fprintf calls
only require FDEVENT_IN bit to be set for listening connections (fixes #2227)
add libev fdevent handler: server.event-handler = “libev”
mod_proxy: return response as soon as it is available (fixes #2196)
don’t overwrite global server.force-lowercase-filenames setting (fixes #2042)
bind to IPV6-only if ipv6 address was specified (IPv6-Config)

Meanwhile…

Abidoon — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:21:41 +0000

Hey folks,

back in december, we posted about a new lighty branch and opened up our project to the public: http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/lighttpd-sandbox

It’s still not in a fully useable state yet, but we have been very busy and made huge progress meanwhile.
Look what we had last time:

Dec 08:

the config handling is pretty complete
basic connection handling including throttling and keep-alive/IO timeouts works
error logging works (introducing multiple error log levels and targets)
module/plugin interface mostly done
completely multithreaded
serves static files

Apart from some minor features we can now say the core is almost done with just small changes or optimizations to it.
We now start to add functionality to the core via modules and following ones already work pretty well:

mod_accesslog
mod_auth (auth-basic with plaintext files working)
mod_dirlist
mod_expire
mod_fastcgi (working pretty well already, giving usability a big boost!)
mod_openssl (ssl functionality provided through openssl)
mod_redirect (more powerful than in 1.x)
mod_rewrite (also more powerful than in 1.x)
mod_status
mod_vhost (virtual hosts, plenty of options and possibilities; combines mod_simple_vhost and mod_evhost plus more)

Performance seems to be really great so far. Thanks to being fully multithreaded, lighty 2.0 scales nicely with multicore CPUs.
It can handle several hundred thousand requests per second on a new Intel i7 (for really small static files, on localhost, not a great benchmark ).

Let me tell you, alot has changed! And of course you’re welcome to test and have a look at its current state. But – just like last time – the forum as well as ticket/issue tracking is still disabled for it because we are not capable of providing any support as well as getting things done within a reasonable amount of time – so we focus on getting things done.

Some people might already be able to do basic stuff like serving static files, maybe play with fastcgi a little. As the config and design completely differs from 1.x you might already want to take a look or “test ride”. Remember: No support at the moment.

We can’t (and really don’t want to) provide any specific release date but hope to have 2.0 in a usable state by the end of the year.
Remember we do this in our free time for fun.

As for lighty 1.4 and 1.5: everything will continue like before – no worries.

This is it for today.

Thanks for flying light.

A lot of testing ensures a good release.

We have made many changes, especially regarding the core of our connection state machine (hopefully fixing the lingering socket close, which should fix pipelining), and the FastCGI internals (it should recover from crashing FastCGI applications)

There are two new features for SSL too: TLS SNI and client certificate validation.

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