Changes
-------
A huge amount of work has been put on this release. It has taken us
more than two years to complete it, and there are too many changes to
be listed here. These are the most important improvements over the
previous Cherokee 0.5 series:
- Administration Interface: You will not need to edit a text file in
order to configure the web server any longer! A user friendly web
interface will assist you to set up your site.
- 20% to 25% faster. Even if our previous Cherokee releases perform
very well, Cherokee 0.6 is even faster!
- It does support load balancing. It can distribute load between
multiple FastCGI, SCGI and HTTP servers from within the web server.
- The authentication support has been improved by adding new modules
for validation against MySQL and LDAP servers.
- A new documentation system has been integrated, which has allowed
the developer team to significantly improve the user documentation.
- This is the safest version of Cherokee ever. A new recovery
mechanism has been integrated to ensure that the server will always
be up and running.
- Looks nicer: new themes and icon sets have been included.
