Apache Traffic Server v4.0.1 Released
The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache Traffic Server project are
pleased to announce the release of Apache Traffic Server v4.0.1! This is our
latest stable release, and is immediately available for download at
http://trafficserver.apache.org/downloads
This is the culmination of over a year's worth of work on features and bug
fixes. Some facts about this release since our last stable release:
* There are contributions from 59 individuals
* Over 1,300 commits in Git
* 446 Jira tickets were closed
Upgrading from the previous v3.2 release to v4.0 should be done with care,
since the cache is not backwards compatible. This means upgrading will cause
the cache to be reinitialized. More details on upgrading is available on the
Wiki:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TS/Upgrading+to+v4.0
There's a number of new features in this major release, the highlights from the
Wiki includes:
* Assign URLs to specific storage units.
* HTTP transaction buffering control
* CPU thread affinity

* More plugin and remap overridable configurations
