It is meant to be used for testing purposes only!
The release will contain some bug fixes and improvements:
Features/Improvements
---------------------
General:
- Add new property error_escalation_time for LB workers
to fine tune escalation of local errors to global errors.
- If the sticky session affinity mark contains a dot, an LB
treats the part after the dot as the domain name.
This allows to have full node session affinity with domain failover.
- Allow AJP13 worker ports lower or equal to 1024.
- Move shm locking into the data pull and push methods.
- Deprecate JNI workers.
Apache:
- Add more environment variables to overwrite request information.
Useful in case a proxy is in front of Apache and sends us original
request information e.g. via custom headers.
IIS:
- Improve support for multiple Application Pools
- Update uriworkermap.properties file on a regular interval.
This requires both worker_mount_reload and watchdog_interval
to be defined.
- Remove obsolete entries from registry file.
Status-Worker:
- Allow changing worker address and port of AJP workers.
The address is resolved on next request for that worker.
- Include error time in display.
- Do not redirect to the show or list page, if an error occured
during an action.
- Allow update actions to show error messages in the result page.
- Remove redundant port information from worker display.
Rename address column and remove its explanation from the legend.
- Optimize forced uriworkermap.properties reload.
Docs:
- Add a new HowTo page about reverse proxies.
- Clarify IIS URL rewrite feature.
- Clarify relation between socket_timeout and socket_connect_timeout.
Fixes
-----
- JkWatchogInterval used a wrong interval calculation causing a
10 times higher watchdog interval then configured for Apache 2.x.
- Fix forced recovery in combination with local error states.
- Fix crash in text display format of status worker.
- Set global worker state to error in L, when we reach
max_reply_timeouts, or fail_on_status triggered hard error.
- Show - Edit - Show in status worker always ends in single
lb member show, even when started from all members lb show.
- Fix use of wildcards in sub worker names were broken for
update actions of status worker.
- BZ 46763: Survive the log mutex in Apache 2.x during graceful restart.
- BZ 46416: Fix building Apache 2.x on Windows: Include mstcipip.h
even if apr doesn't include it.
- BZ 46734: Fix broken links in documentation.
- BZ 46579: Use local environment table instead environment
variables for setting the JKISAPI_PATH and JKISAPI_NAME.
- Missing define for MAX_PATH on Netware
- BZ 46352: Fix crash in Apache, when using SetHandler jakarta-servlet
in VHost without any JkMount.
- BZ 46169: Backport use_server_errors mount extension to Apache 1.3.
- Add 2008 news to main documentation page and documentation menues.
Furthermore there have been some minor code refactorings in the load
balancer error handling.
