Hi, HAProxy 1.9.0 was released on 2018/12/19. It added 45 new commits after version 1.9-dev11.
We still had a number of small issues causing the various artefacts that have been visible on haproxy.org since this week-end, but now everything looks OK. So it's better to release before we discover new issues :-) Speaking more seriously, in the end, what we expected to be just a technical release looks pretty nice on the features perspective. The features by themselves are not high-level but address a wide number of integration cases that overall make this version really appealing. In the end 1.9 brings to end users (as a quick summary) : - end-to-end HTTP/2 - advanced master process management with its own CLI - much more scalable multi-threading - regression test suite - priority-based dequeueing - better cache supporting larger objects - early hints (HTTP 103) - cipher suites for TLS 1.3 - random balance algorithm - fine-grained timers for better observability - stdout logging for containers and systemd And the rest which has kept us very busy was needed to achieve this and to pave the way to future developments and more contributions from people who won't have to know the internals as deeply as it used to be needed. It's expected that the road to 2.0 will be calmer now. Well, I know that so quick a summary doesn't do justice to the developers having done all this amazing work, but I've seen that some of my coworkers have started to write an article detailing all these new features, so I won't waste my time paraphrasing them. I'll pass the URL here once this article becomes public. No, I'm not lazy, I'm tired and hungry ;-) Please find the usual URLs below : Site index : http://www.haproxy.org/ Discourse : http://discourse.haproxy.org/ Slack channel : https://slack.haproxy.org/ Sources : http://www.haproxy.org/download/1.9/src/ Git repository : http://git.haproxy.org/git/haproxy-1.9.git/ Git Web browsing : http://git.haproxy.org/?p=haproxy-1.9.git Changelog : http://www.haproxy.org/download/1.9/src/CHANGELOG Cyril's HTML doc : http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/ Willy --- Complete changelog : Christopher Faulet (7): BUG/MEDIUM: compression: Use the right buffer pointers to compress input data BUG/MINOR: mux_pt: Set CS_FL_WANT_ROOM when count is zero in rcv_buf() callback BUG/MEDIUM: stream: Forward the right amount of data before infinite forwarding BUG/MINOR: proto_htx: Call the HTX version of the function managing client cookies BUG/MEDIUM: lua/htx: Handle EOM in receive/get_line calls in HTTP applets BUG/MINOR: lua: Return an error if a legacy HTTP applet doesn't send anything MINOR: compression: Remove the thread_local variable buf_output Olivier Houchard (6): BUG/MEDIUM: connection: Add a new CS_FL_ERR_PENDING flag to conn_streams.
