Hi, HAProxy 2.8-dev9 was released on 2023/04/28. It added 58 new commits after version 2.8-dev8.
This version has much less changes than previous one, that's nice. 20 of these patches are bug fixes. Fred & Amaury finally found and fixed the last bug that was causing crashes for Tristan whose help was again invaluable in nailing this one down. Christopher fixed a bug introduced in 2.8-dev7 by which two stconn flags with the same value caused a rare case where some connections could freeze without timing out. It took us days before capturing one so I doubt they were much noticed. The cleanup of the internal "now" variable revealed something like 4 or 5 occurrences of incorrect usage where we were showing the user a possibly drifting or shifted date. These were emphasized with 2.8-dev2's early wrap-around, which indicates it was an effective move. William's script for acme.sh was merged into admin/acme.sh/ with a readme and an explanation on the wiki on how to use it on regular distros. Alex's bc_rtt sample-fetch functions were finally merged. These will be useful for those who wish to log the network latency to a given server. The BUG_ON() conditions switched to using an illegal instruction on x86 and arm64 so as to make issue reports faster to qualify; previously they would all report "SIGSEGV" which could have various causes. Other than that, some cleanups in various areas (variables renaming mainly), some CI and build updates, and traces improvements.
