Hi, HAProxy 2.7-dev7 was released on 2022/10/03. It added 62 new commits after version 2.7-dev6.
This is another quiet release, which could be encouraging when we think that we're probably less than 2 months from the release now, but there's still some work left to be done in various areas. The usual bunch of bugs were addressed (resolvers crashing, a few QUIC issues, idle connections to servers failing to be reused on 32-bit machines due to an alignment issue, some minor issues in Lua, logging, HTTP/1 and checks). The master CLI is now passed over the new master process so that it can provide a status back upon reload. That allows not only the caller to wait for a reload to complete, but also to know if it worked well. Note that the output format is not definitive, we discussed a small change to allow it to be slightly more future-proof. But that's just a matter of what the line will look like so that's pretty minor. The CLI output anonymization work was slightly improved (better arrangement of commands now all under "set anon" / "show anon", some more fields are encoded and some well-known address schemes are recognized and left as-is, such as "stdout", "sockpair@" or "fd@"). The anonymized config file was improved similarly. It's now possible from -dC to indicate whether or not the output wants line numbers. The clock synchronization between threads could take a lot of CPU when using many threads, and this was improved as well, pushing the upper limit from 7.3M to 66M event loops per second on a 48 threads machine. The SMTP check now sends a QUIT command to save some servers from logging an error. The "lua-load" and "lua-load-per-thread" directives now support passing optional arguments after the script's name. This long-awaited feature will allow to pass initial settings, timeouts, IP addresses or whatever from the config itself without having to either modify the script each time, nor hacking around environment variables. There are still a few pending issues with/without patches in progress, but I didn't want them to hold the release (some Lua stuff from Aurélien, Olivier and Thierry, an issue in the FD layer where a shutdown is sometimes upgraded to an error making some checks fail, the idle_conns pool that needs to be moved per-thread group, etc. Nothing dramatic but that will need to be addressed anyway. Overall it's looking fine.
