Hi,
here comes dev23, addressing half of what was planned before 1.5-final.
Among the user-visible changes, these ones come to mind :
- use_backend now support dynamic backend names built using the log-format
string like %[expression], and the condition is now optional ;
- SSL supports ALPN as available in OpenSSL 1.0.2 and not as provided in
early patches ;
- samples/converters/patterns : the maps' and acls' usage of patterns were
merged so that they can now be updated dynamically from the CLI. Very
large ACLs could possibly use slightly more memory, at the benefit of not
having to reload the configuration to update them. IPv6 addresses are now
indexed using trees.
- new "language" converter to extract the preferred language among a list,
respecting the q-values expressed by the client.
- SSL now support dynamic record size adjustments to send small objects with
a low latency and large objects with an optimal bandwidth. This can save a
few hundreds of ms on page load time for ssl-only sites.
- use of tree-based backend name lookups should improve the startup time
and runtime speed for large configurations with many backends.
- fixed the request body parser to wait for either the first chunk of data
to be complete or the buffer to be full. This removes the need for the
the max_wait argument to "balance url_param" which is now silently ignored.
- fixed compression of chunked HTTP responses which are now enabled again.
- emit warnings on misplaced http-request and use-server rules
As usual, a number of bugs were fixed (35, but about 1/4 of them were introduced
after dev22).
Normally we just have to perform the agent-check modifications and to
prepare the bind-process changes for a post-release fix and we should be
OK for a release.
I tried to re-enable the chunked mode on the stats page that I disabled
when Igor Chan sent me a screenshot of a broken page. I did it on the
demo web site only, because it allows me to compress the output and
load faster :-)
I never understood what could cause the bug Igor faced, it's possible
that it was related to something else that was fixed since. I'll probably
re-introduce that patch early in the next snapshot so that we get more
coverage. If it breaks again, we'll fix or revert as it's not really
important anyway.
