This release contains only a few changes, of which one represents a significant reimplementation.
New features:
New version of vmod_http
. The new version allows for better
connection reuse, caching of hostname lookups, and gives better
performance when many simultaneous requests are active. The new
version is VCL compatible with the previous version, and no
adjustments to VCL programs is necessary.
Note that this version will limit the protocols enabled in the
underlying CURL execution engine to HTTP and HTTPS, and that HTTP/1.1
will be the preferred HTTP version. This can be changed by adjusting the
corresponding Varnish runtime parameters (vmod_http_require_http
and
vmod_http_prefer_http_11
).
Some unnecessary flags have been removed from
ykey.stat_flags()
. The ykey.stat_
functions are marked as
experimental* for now.
The documentation of ykey.stat_
functions has improved, and man ykey
should provide all the necessary details about this feature
set.
