Varnish 2.0.4 released

Today the Varnish Project released version 2.0.4 of their proxy cache. According to the web site, the changes from 2.0.3 are:

  • Serve graced objects if the backend is unhealthy.
  • Portability fixes for Solaris, MacOS X/Darwin and NetBSD
  • Documentation updates
  • Added server.hostname and server.identity to VCL.
  • Fixed a problem where we would sleep for far too long when we would run out of file descriptors.
  • Add support for processing binary objects with ESI.

I’m especially interested in the second bullet for all releases I got from subversion after r3927 won’t compile on Solaris for me.

Edit: Yes, it compiles just fine. However, I still encounter some strange problems under Solaris 10. I already wrote a dirty patch to “fix” them but right now I’m too tired to post it. I’m going to submit it once I get up again.
