Behavior Changes

  • Some messages sent to syslog() (if enabled in lighttpd config) have been
    changed to use different priorities (e.g. LOG\_WARNING, LOG\_DEBUG) instead
    of everything being sent with LOG\_ERROR priority. The change affects only
    lighttpd configs which set server.errorlog-use-syslog = "enable" (not default)
  • Use sendfile() with musl libc; fix build detection of sendfile() w/ musl libc
    Please report any issues, though any issues are unexpected since
    lighttpd falls back to writev() if sendfile() fails.

Future Scheduled Behavior Changes (for the next lighttpd release)

  • TLS cipher defaults will be incrementally updated to stronger defaults
    Proposed defaults are forward-secret and support authenticated encryption (AEAD)
    Proposed defaults: openssl ciphers 'EECDH+AESGCM:CHACHA20:!PSK:!DHE'
    Current defaults: openssl ciphers 'EECDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:CHACHA20:!SHA1:!SHA256:!SHA384'
    Little or no impact is expected for lighttpd configs already using lighttpd TLS defaults
    (and supported clients, i.e. those which have not already reached end-of-life).
    Reference: https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/reference/cipher-suites/recommendations/
  • mod\_redirect: default url.redirect-code for HTTP/1.1 and later will be
    changed from 301 Moved Permanently to 308 Permanent Redirect
    (only if url.redirect is not explicitly set in lighttpd.conf)
    RFC7538: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7538
    (published almost 9 years ago)

Future Scheduled Behavior Changes (2025)

  • lighttpd TLS defaults will change to MinProtocol TLSv1.3
    Other configurations will still be supported, but will not be the default.
    Proposed default: MinProtocol TLSv1.3
    Current default: MinProtocol TLSv1.2
