lighttpd 1.4.9 - 2006-01-14 19:49¶

Dear lighties,

I'm proud to announce the availability of lighttpd 1.4.9, a prop-in
replacement for lighttpd 1.4.8.

This release fixes several major bugs

and most important:

a CRITICAL bug in the handling of case-insensitive filesystems like
NTFS and FAT on Windows or the default filesystem on MacOS X. Everyone
on those platforms has to upgrade as soon as possible. A security
announcement is following this mail.

On the good side:

the power-magnet for mod_cml
more statistics for mod_fastcgi (load, backend usage, ...)
a first mod_evasive
better handling of If-Range, duplocate If-Modified-Since and more compliance with webdav clients
