Hi, HAProxy 1.8.28 was released on 2021/01/13. It added 33 new commits after version 1.8.27. This new release is relatively light and contains only a small set of fixes. Of particular interest are the following ones:
- A race condition has been fixed by Christopher affecting the leastconn load-balancer algorithm. A crash could occur due to a division by zero with the weight parameter. Thanks to Peter Statham for its help on the issue. - The parser for haproxy command-line arguments was behaving incorrectly when using an argument value starting with a dash. On reload, the process was restarted with a wrong set of arguments. In fact, this should have been fixed in the earlier version but the backported commit was incomplete in the 1.8 branch. - Olivier has fixed a problem affecting users of ARM-based Macs, whose assembler takes the semi-colon as a comment instead of an instruction delimiter, causing the CAS to fail and loop forever. - Maciej has fixed the sample fetches to retrieve messages cookies when called without cookie name. This case was never properly handled, contrary to what the doc says. - A set of minor patches from Thierry were applied to the Lua code. In particular, new warnings will be reported when trying to register action, converter, sample fetch, cli or applet with a name already used. - A small fix was written by Christopher on SPOE. The connection is not closed anymore when receiving an ACK even if no frame is waiting an acknowledge. - The time parser is now more restrictive on invalid values. Please update your configuration if you spot new warnings about this. - The extra cookie attributes defined in the default section were not taken into account before this release. Now they are properly applied on each proxy instance. - A crash could happen on startup when using in the configuration a disabled backend with specific server parameters. And as usual there is a bunch of cleanup/typo and doc commits, not visible on first sight, but they are always welcome as they improve the overall quality of haproxy software. Thanks to everyone for this release. Enjoy !
