Subject: [ANNOUNCE] haproxy-1.6.8 To: [email protected] Hi,
HAProxy 1.6.8 was released on 2016/08/14. It added 19 new commits after version 1.6.7, and fixes all the annoying issues that were still pending in 1.6. So this is the first 1.6 version for which we're not aware of any strange problem (but we should be patient, they will come back :-)). Among the issues fixed, we can cite the occasional segfault hitting a few users of zlib (it was the result of a misunderstanding of the API apparently), a segfault when using sc_trackers with a different table, a potential memory corruption when using "sni" on the server line, a few crashes in Lua's txn_done() called by actions and fetchers, a risk to freeze some random file descriptors after an attempt to pass data to a file descriptor being experiencing a connection retry explaining some observed zombie connections, some peers protocol encoding issues explaining some abnormal values and synchro losses, a problem with incorrect sample duplication during processing which could lead certain fetchers to fail to work as a stick table key, and I think that's about all for this time. For this reason, I all 1.6 users should upgrade. There's no emergency though, you can wait for your distro provider to update their packages. Please note that since earlier versions are now known to be able to freeze FDs and corrupt memory under certain circumstances, I'll encourage our helpers not to waste their valuable time trying to debug an issue on these versions and to request updates instead.
