Future Scheduled Behavior Changes (estimated early 2022)

  • graceful restart/shutdown default timeout will change from
    0 (infinite/no timeout) to 5 seconds (or some similar non-zero period)
    configure an alternative with:
    server.feature-flags += ("server.graceful-shutdown-timeout" => 5)
  • lighttpd (optional) dependencies on libev and on FAM are deprecated.
    lighttpd event loop and file monitoring use native OS interfaces
    except on obscure platforms. FAM and gamin appear to be abandoned.
    Package maintainers on Linux and *BSD:
    please remove --with-libev and --with-fam from package builds
    lighttpd uses epoll() on Linux, kqueue() on *BSD for event notification.
    lighttpd uses inotify() on Linux, kqueue() on *BSD for file monitoring.
