Release Info

  • Version: 1.4.23
  • Previous version: 1.4.22
  • Branch: 1.4
  • Status: stable
  • Release Purpose: bug fixes
  • Release manager: stbuehler
  • Released date: 2009-06-19

"Leaving the nest"

Time for a new release: spawn-fcgi is now going its own ways as an independent project (hence the release slogan; see http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/spawn-fcgi), wsgi applications in / should work now (use the fastcgi/scgi option "fix-root-scriptname") and many other fixes and improvements.
Please note that the "X-Sendfile-Range" header did not make it into 1.4.23, and we will try a more powerful approach for 1.4.24 (see #2008).

Important changes

  • Fix workaround for incorrect path info/scriptname if fastcgi prefix is "/" (fixes #729)
  • Finally removed spawn-fcgi
  • Fix bug with FastCGI request id overflow under high load; just use always id 1 as we don't use multiplexing. (thx jgray)
  • Workaround broken operating systems: check for trailing '/' in filenames (fixes #1989)
