Released 1.3.3 with the following changes :
- fix broken redispatch option in case the connection has already
been marked "in progress" (ie: nearly always).
- support regparm on x86 to speed up some often called functions
- removed a few useless calls to gettimeofday() in log functions.
- lots of 'const char*' cleanups
- turn every FD_* into functions which are faster on recent CPUs
- builds again on OpenBSD and Solaris
- started the changes towards I/O completion callbacks. stream_sock* have
replaced event_*.
- added the new "reqtarpit" and "reqitarpit" protection features
Released 1.3.1 with the following changes from 1.2.15 :
- now, haproxy warns about missing timeout during startup to try to
eliminate all those buggy configurations.
- added "Content-Type: text/html" in responses wherever appropriate, as
suggested by Cameron Simpson.
- implemented "option ssl-hello-chk" to use SSLv3 CLIENT HELLO messages to
test server's health
- implemented "monitor-uri" so that haproxy can reply to a specific URI with
an "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" response. This is useful to validate multiple proxies
at once.
Released 1.2.14 with the following changes :
- new HTML status report with the 'stats' keyword.
- added the 'abortonclose' option to better resist traffic surges
- implemented dynamic traffic regulation with the 'minconn' option
- show request time on denied requests
- definitely fixed hot reconf on OpenBSD by the use of SO_REUSEPORT
- now a proxy instance is allowed to run without servers, which is
useful to dedicate one instance to stats
- added lots of error counters
- a missing parenthesis preventd matching of cacheable cookies
- a missing parenthesis in poll_loop() might have caused missed events.
Summary of changes :
- 'maxconn' server parameter to do per-server session limitation
- queueing to support non-blocking session limitation
- fixed removal of cookies for cookie-less servers such as backup servers
- two separate wait queues for expirable and non-expirable tasks provide
better performance with lots of sessions.
- some code cleanups and performance improvements
- made state dumps a bit more verbose
- fixed missing checks for NULL srv in dispatch mode
- load balancing on backup servers was not possible in source hash mode.
- two session flags shared the same bit, but fortunately they were not
compatible.
* fixed a bug where a TCP connection would be logged twice if the 'logasap'
option was enabled without the 'tcplog' option.
* encode_string() would use hdr_encode_map instead of the map argument.
* the logged request is now encoded with '#XX' for unprintable characters
* new keywords 'capture request header' and 'capture response header' enable
logging of arbitrary HTTP headers in requests and responses
* removed "-DSOLARIS" after replacing the last inet_aton() with inet_pton()
* added the '-V' command line option to verbosely report errors even though
the -q or 'quiet' options are specified. This is useful with '-c'.
* added a Red Hat init script and a .spec from Simon Matter <simon.matter@invoca.ch>
* added 'rspdeny' and 'rspideny' to block certain responses to avoid sensible
information leak from servers.
* more examples added into the configuration
