Another way is to view https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/lighttpd and look at the "versions" in the left sidebar of the page. In any case, https://www.lighttpd.net/ is the upstream website. lighttpd 1.4.72 was released Fri 6 Oct, a bit later than originally planned. Since updating Debian takes me more time than the *combined* time that I spend updating 6+ other distros, I prefer to wait a week or so after a lighttpd release before I start the process to request that a Debian developer sponsor a lighttpd release. https://salsa.debian.org/debian/lighttpd/ is ready for a lighttpd 1.4.72 release to Trixie (Testing), and then backports can follow. Boyuan: lighttpd 1.4.72 is ready for Trixie (Testing) and tagged in https://salsa.debian.org/debian/lighttpd/. I'll submit a formal request later this week. Cheers, Glenn
