Varnish 2.0.4 released
By sru on Apr 1, 2009 in Caching in General, Varnish
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.
