Dear all,
I am glad to announce that the release of NaviServer 4.99.30 is
available at SourceForge [1] and on GitHub [2]. In essence, this release
contains a few small bugfixes and some backported features from the
NaviServer 5 developement (auto SNI and Improved handling of large file
uploads, portability improvements). Since we want to release NaviServer
5 after Tcl9, and Tcl9 is still not out, some of the backports become
more urgent.
All the best!

New Features:
-------------
- Added auto-SNI support to "ns_http" and "ns_connchan open": When
opening an TLS-connection to named target, the used hostname is
automatically used as a default value for the SNI-host. The
automatically derived values has a lower priority than the
parameter "-hostname" of "ns_http run" or "ns_connchan open".
This change eases of use with cloud services and affects all
packages using, e.g., "ns_http", including reverse proxies.
- Introduced experimental command "ns_fseekchars": This changes
Improves file-based parsing of multipart/form-data, supporting
files larger than 4GB, reducing memory usage, and speeding up
processing..
Bug Fixes:
----------
- Fixed invalid memory reallocation of pool descriptors array
[commit 7efaafe4].
- Fixed potential issue for move operation with overlapping memory
areas. This change is which was critical for ARM architecture
when musl is used (Alpine Linux) [commit 20438ed4].
- Fixed potential crash in "ns_conn copy" to handle cases where an
incoming request contains no content [commit 79b8cb8a].
Changes in Sample Configuration Files:
--------------------------------------
- Sample configuration file updates for handling container
mappings and whitelisting domain names [commits ece849ac,
9a102a97, 86a176ab].
- Backported from NaviServer 5: Includes multiple changes to
configuration files and scripts [commit 0d32e5ea].
Misc Improvements:
------------------
- Improved forward compatibility to ease backports [commit ef8b4386].
- Improved spelling and documentation across multiple files to
enhance readability and understanding [multiple commits e.g.,
a2cdaa10, 15253120].
- Improved portability by not assuming that type "char" is the
same as "unsigned char", important for compatibility with
different architectures [commit 7635ef00].
- Made testing more robust for docker images with partial IPv6
setups to improve reliability in varied deployment environments
[commit 516ca38c].
- Removed misleading and unneeded "-encoding binary": This command
was a no-op since many Tcl releases and was removed in Tcl9 at
all. This change clarifies code usage [commit a36d15b1].
