Varnish Enterprise 6.0.13r14 Release

Published April 9, 2025.

About the release

This release brings a number of smaller features and improvements.

Some highlights:

  • Optimized Ykey performance: We’ve introduced multiple trees for ephemeral objects, optimizing performance.

  • Revamped VHA6 limits framework: The Varnish High Availability limits framework has been updated, where the previous max_requests_sec setting is replaced by more granular controls broadcast_limit, broadcast_rate_limit and request_rate_limit.

    The max_requests_sec setting used to contend with non-VHA usage of vmod_http. This may result in higher VHA6 activity for setups already operating at full broadcast capacity.

    See VHA6 limits for more details.

  • Enhanced backend control in vmod_udo: A new .avoid_backend() method allows you to deprioritize specific backends within a transaction, enabling more sophisticated retry strategies and backend selection logic unless it’s the only option left.

Please see the changelog for the complete list of changes.
