Hi, HAProxy 1.5.16 was released on 2016/03/14. It added 47 new commits after version 1.5.15.
There's nothing really outstanding here. The main visible fix probably is the one for a bug occasionally causing some missed timeout events on a connection with a pending close. This results in a busy poll loop until the timeout expires again. A lot of detailed information was provided by BaiYang which was critical in helping understanding the problem. A related issue is that some keep-alive requests can face a shutdown if the server closed during the idle timeout. Browsers normally don't notice this, but download tools or web services do. The remaining bugs are not very important, please see the changelog.
