Installation instructions for HAProxy
=====================================
This is a development version, so it is expected to break from time to time,
to add and remove features without prior notification and it should not be used
in production, unless you're an experienced user and are willing to follow
weekly updates. If you are not used to build from sources or if you are not
used to follow updates then it is recommended that instead you use the packages
provided by your software vendor or Linux distribution. Most of them are taking
this task seriously and are doing a good job at backporting important fixes.
HAProxy 2.8 is a long-term supported version, which means that it will get
fixes for bugs as they are discovered till around Q2 2028 and will not receive
new features. This version is suitable for general deployment as it is expected
to receive less frequent updates than regular stable branches which have an odd
digit in the minor version number. New users are encouraged to use long-term
supported versions such as the ones provided by their software vendor, Linux
distribution, or by a trusted package maintainer. Experienced users who manage
a fleet of load balancers are encouraged to deploy at least one node with the
latest weekly development version to get familiar with upcoming changes and
possibly detect unwelcome changes or bugs before the release. This is also a
great way to get new features implemented exactly as desired.
If for any reason you'd prefer to use a different version than the one packaged
If for any reason you would prefer a different version than the one packaged
for your system, you want to be certain to have all the fixes or to get some
commercial support, other choices are available at http://www.haproxy.com/.
