Dear all,

I am glad to announce that the release of NaviServer 4.99.29 is available at SourceForge [1].  This release is a pure bug-fix and maintenance release, which fixes a potentiall serious memory leak when working with PostgreSQL and large text contents. Furthermore, the release contains a small enhancement as requested by Brian not very long ago on this list.

See below for a summary of the changes.

So far, these changes are only available on sourceforge, since i have lost write access to the repository at bitbucket. The people on Atlassian seem to have changed some account types, and - on to of this - they annouced via the Blog post on September 27, 2023, that the billing model changed (where they also refer to the "unified-user-management"). It took me a while to figure out, what happened. The blog post states:

   /From October 31st, 2023, Bitbucket Cloud will begin counting all
   workspace members as a billable user. ....

   Free plans: If you're on a free plan and your billable user count is
   higher than 5 as per the new definition of billable user, all
   repositories in your workspace will become read-only until you
   remove some users or upgrade your workspace to a paid plan./

It seems that the users of the "naviserver" group are now counted as "billable users", and it contains 19 users. According to support, we have to reduce this number to 5, otherwise nobody will be able to commit anything.

Due to the ability with PRs, i think the reduction will be possible without too much loss in functionality. If nobody objects, i will go back in history and reduce the number of commit-member based on the most recent direct commits. I hope, that non of the "old members" will be offended by this. One other option would be to upgrade to a paid plain - but i am not sure, who is gonna pay for this.

All the best!

New Features:
-------------
 - Eased configuration of simple setups
   * don't require to specify a "defaultserver" when a single
     server is in use.

   * reduce warnings for per-server network drivers. This is a not
     recommended but possible configuration, global network drivers
     should be used.

 - The configuration option "rejectalreadyclosedconn", which warns
   about attempts to send data to the web client at times, when the
   connection is not available anymore, is now applied on closed and
   detached connections. Before it was only applied on closed
   connections, causing potentially many warnings for legacy
   applications.

Bug Fixes:
----------

  - Fixed a potential memory leak introduced two releases ago (in
    4.99.27).

  - Fixed a potential compilation problem with glibc 2.38 or newer
    (released 31 Jul 2023)

  - Fixed reloading of certificates for mass virtual hosting

Code Maintenance:
-----------------

  - fixed typos
  - fixed enum/int conversion flagged by gcc13


Modules:
