Hi, HAProxy 1.6.15 was released on 2019/10/25. It added 109 new commits after version 1.6.14.
These are essentially the same fixes that went into 1.7.12 (as I said in the other thread, 1.6 and 1.7 were very similar). The last 1.6 was even 3 months older than the latest 1.7, so it's about time to turn it to "critical fixes only" status. I've seen a bunch of 1.6 in field, I know that some are still running at various places (this version is rock solid by now), no need to worry, we can keep it in this state for one or two extra years if needed. Having less fixes to deal with also means easier releases when required. If you're running on 1.6.14 and never faced an issue I'm not even sure it's worth upgrading. The major issues there concern acl/map managements, or traffic patterns that are either easily met or irrelevant to your use case. However if you deploy new instances or maintain packages, better stay on the safe side and deploy the last one. Similarly if you're running on a snapshot, at least you can update to a release now.
