Hi,
HAProxy 1.8.6 was released on 2018/04/05. It added 23 new commits
after version 1.8.5.
It fixes several bugs, two of which are considered of major severity since
they can cause the process to randomly crash. One is in the HTTP/2 code and
the other one in the cache, both since the very first 1.8 release.
Among the other more or less visible issues fixed in this version, I noted :
- a failure to properly release some H2 streams, causing some H2 connections
never to time out, hence old processes never to exit upon reload ;
- a risk of occasional timeouts at the end of large transfers over H2, once
the file has been completely sent but there is no more room to perform the
shutdown ;
- pure TCP checks appearing as in progress for the whole duration of the
check (the connection was validated only on the check timeout) ;
- unbreakage of email alerts appearing as a side effect of a tcp-check fix
in 1.8.5
- some SPOE initialization and timeout handling improvements
As usual, every 1.8 user is strongly advised to upgrade to this last version,
especially if you're using HTTP/2, the cache, or are experiencing strange
issues or crashes.
