Hi all, Five months have elapsed since 1.5-dev6. A massive amount of changes was merged since then. Most of them were cleanups and optimizations. A number of changes were dedicated to making listeners more autonomous. The immediate effect is a more robust handling of resource saturation, and the second effect is the removal of the 10-years old maintain_proxies() function which was harming performance and hard to get over.
Halog was improved too (faster with more filters). A significant number of external contributions were merged, among them the stats socket updates to clear session-table keys by values. There are too many changes to list, but nothing too dangerous, so I'd say it's the 1.5-dev version I trust the most today. I'm planning on putting all the focus on server-side keep-alive again. Some of the remaining issues have been overcome. Surely there are still a number, but we can't know if we don't try :-) Do not hesitate to give 1.5-dev7 a try. I'm currently updating all 1.5 I have to it. site index : http://haproxy.1wt.eu/ sources : http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.5/src/devel/ changelog : http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.5/src/CHANGELOG Cheers, Willy
