Varnish Enterprise 6.0.16r2 has been removed Announcement

Published September 16, 2025.

Release removed from the repository

The release of Varnish Enterprise version 6.0.16r2 has been removed from the package repository due to a regression discovered in the latest release.

This release introduced an optimization in the handling of bans, which is a method for doing cache invalidation in Varnish. While the optimization significantly reduces locking contention, it unfortunately introduced a regression that may in certain setups lead to a crash.

We advise against using 6.0.16r2 at this time. Users who have already installed this version should downgrade to 6.0.16r1.

A fix for the regression has already been prepared, and we expect to release 6.0.16r3 within the next few days.
