Release Info¶

"Faster than santa, your first present this year!"

And lighttpd 1.4 is still alive :)

Especially for ssl users this release should be important: by setting

ssl.cipher-list = "ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:AES256-SHA256:RC4-SHA:RC4:HIGH:!MD5:!aNULL:!EDH:!AESGCM"

you can mitigate BEAST attacks.
