Hi, HAProxy 1.8.30 was released on 2021/04/12. It added 8 new commits after version 1.8.29. The main point of this release is the fix of the regression on the frequency counters introduced in the latest release. Thanks to users feedback, the bug was quickly spotted and the fix validated in higher version before being backported in the 1.8 tree. Here is the list of the detailed changes.
- As stated, the bug on the frequency counters is fixed. Since the previous release, the time period was not properly calculated, so the counters were not properly updated. Willy was able to fix the issue thanks to quick user reports. - The hdr_ip sample fetch is now stricter. It will reject a field if there is some garbage after a valid IPv4 address. This ensures that for example an invalid x-forwared-for header field is not present, which is better to detect a non-conformant http proxy in a network. - The silent-drop action was not functional for IPv6 connections if the haproxy process is executed without admin capabilities. It now properly set the IPv6 header field hop-limit to 1, as explained in the documentation. Thanks to everyone for this release. Enjoy !
