The new version is mainly a bugfix-release that makes lighttpd more reliable.
And another version (1.2.4): * added kqueue support * added server-side includes (mod_ssi) * fixed large post uploads in fastcgi * fixed rt-signals handling of delayed events
I had to change "emake" to "emake -j1" in the 1.2.2 ebuild to make it compile without an error.
lighttpd 1.2.5 has been released today and does no longer need the "emake -j1"-workaround I mentioned in the previous comment.
1.2.6 has been released: * added apache-like accesslog definition * enabled timestamp cache again * improved performance in the string compare functions * fixed double-free in fastcgi handler * fixed error-handling in cgi handler
Created attachment 38760 [details, diff] lighttpd-1.2.6.ebuild.patch I changed my patch from Bug #55049 for the new version. Here the full list of changes in this patch: * I added ldap to IUSE (because it is used by you) * And I changed a dodir into newdir because the dodir made the problems by removing an empty log-dir when updating. * I removed URI_ROOT because it is no longer needed since spawn-fcgi has its own package. * Removed the old einfo message. All users _should_ have noticed that message with their last update * At last I removed the PV from the install of the init-script so that it is not needed to create a new file in FILESDIR for every version-bump. Perhaps an einfo message would be nice for the php-users, that they have to start a second init-script to geht php working.
Actually, you don't need another init-script for PHP. Correct, mod_php doesn't work with lighttpd, but PHP-CGI will still do it's job.
You are right. PHP-CGI does his job on his own, but spawn-fcgi is the official way (taken from the dokumentation) to do PHP in lighttpd, so I dicided that this would be the best way to realize it. Also spawn-fcgi is a lot more scaleable than mod_cgi. Additionally: While I was working on the first lighttpd-ebuilds, Jan Kneschke told me via email that without fastcgi it is slower "by dimensions". The gentoo-patches for the config-files are designed to use spawn-fcgi. After starting spawn-fcgi and lighttpd PHP should work out-of-the-box on Gentoo. (And it does for me ;-))
1.2.8 released * added a cache for mimetypes * added X-Forwarded-For for mod_proxy * fixed handling of comments in If-Modified-Since * fixed error handling in FastCGI code * fixed expire plugin for second Expire header * fixed conditional confighandling and the 1.2.7 changelog * added mod_rrdtool for internal statistics * added xattr support * added user-controlable timeouts * improved documentation for many plugins * fixed POST requests for mod_proxy * fixed rare hang with CGI * fixed seg-fault if no configfile is specified * fixed rare problem in FastCGI header generation renaming the patched ebuild worked fine for me
OK, could please someone from web-apps bump the version? This bug is now more than one month old and the current stable version in portage is 1.1.8...
OK, the current version is now 1.3.2, with greatly improved virtual hosting and config-directives. Many bugs with FCGI/PHP have been fixed. Anybody care to bump the version?
lighttpd-1.3.3 has been released. Changes ------- * added support for NL terminators in CGI-scripts * added support for conditionals in mod_auth, mod_simple_vhost and mod_evhost * added a error-handler for 404 codes * fixed request counter in the rrdtool module * fixed log-file cycling * fixed seg-fault on AMD64 Maybe someone from web-apps might be able to finally bump the version.
Please note: The license has changed in the 1.3.3 rerelease. It's now BSD: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- lighttpd-1.3.3 has been re-released. The source of the packages has been kept constant, just the license was changed from QPL to BSD as dicussed some month ago. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Even though it looks noone from web-apps seems to care about this bug, there's an updated version available. Changes ------- * added limiter for open files * added logging of user supplied data to accesslogs * added build target for OpenWRT * added plain backend support for auth-digest * fixed handling the external accesslog processes * fixed SERVER_NAME in CGI and FastCGI
lighttpd-1.3.5 is now in Portage. Best regards, Stu
