This makes PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS and + TRACE work in addition to POST. + + + + Change how backends are defined, to a constant structural + defintion style. See + http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/wiki/VclSyntaxChanges for the + details. + + + + Add directors, which wrap backends. Currently, there's a + random director and a round-robin director. + + + + Add "grace", which is for how long and object will be + served, even after it has expired. To use this, both the + object's and the request's grace parameter need + to be set. + + + + Manual pages have been updated for new VCL syntax and + varnishd options. + + + + Man pages and other docs have been updated. + + + + The shared memory log file is now locked in memory, so it + should not be paged out to disk. + + + + We now handle Vary correctly, as well as Expect. + + + + ESI include support is implemented. + + + + Make it possible to limit how much memory the malloc uses. + + + + Solaris is now supported. + + + + There is now a regsuball function, which + works like regsub except it replaces all + occurences of the regex, not just the first. + + + + Backend and director declarations can have + a .connect_timeout parameter, which tells us how + long to wait for a successful connection. + + + + It is now possible to select the acceptor to use by + changing the acceptor parameter. + + + + Backends can have probes associated with them, which can + be checked with req.backend.health in VCL as well as + being handled by directors which do load-balancing. + + + + Support larger-than-2GB files also on 32 bit hosts. + Please note that this does not mean we can support caches + bigger than 2GB, it just means logfiles and similar can be + bigger. + + + + In some cases, we would remove the wrong header when we + were stripping Content-Transfer-Encoding headers from a + request. This has been fixed. + + + + Backends can have a .max_connections + associated with them. + + + + On Linux, we need to set the dumpable bit on the child if + we want core dumps. Make sure it's set. + + + + Doing purge.hash() with an empty string + would cause us to dump core. Fixed so we don't do that any + more. + + + + We ran into a problem with glibc's malloc on Linux where + it seemed like it failed to ever give memory back to the OS, + causing the system to swap. We have now switched to jemalloc + which appears not to have this problem. + + + + max_restarts was never checked, so we always + ended up running out of workspace. Now, vcl_error + is called when we reach max_restarts. + + + + varnishtest + + + varnishtest is a tool to do correctness tests + of varnishd. The test suite is run by using make + check. + + + + + varnishtop + + + We now set the field widths dynamically based on the size + of the terminal and the name of the longest field. + + + + + varnishstat + + + varnishstat -1 now displays the uptime too. + + + + + varnishncsa + + + varnishncsa now does fflush after each + write. This makes tail -f work correctly, as well + as avoiding broken lines in the log file. + + + + It is possible to get varnishncsa to output + the X-Forwarded-For instead of the client IP by + passing -f to it. + + + + + Build system + + + Various sanity checks have been added + to configure, it now complains about no ncurses or + if SO_RCVTIMEO or SO_SNDTIMEO are non-functional. It also + aborts if there's no working acceptor mechanism + + + + The C compiler invocation is decided by the configure + script and can now be overridden by passing VCC_CC + when running configure. + + + -- 2.39.5
