0.10.7
This release introduces 3 new HTTP plugins: awses, jekyll, and forwardproxy,
and supports SIGUSR2 for graceful binary upgrades. Read the release blog post
for more information.
A huge thanks to our sponsors for making continued development possible, and
for keeping this release of Caddy free for everyone to use: Minio, Uptime
Robot, and Sourcegraph!
Change list:
- Built with Go 1.9
- New 3rd-party plugin HTTP directives: jekyll, awses, forwardproxy
- Different exit codes
- Plan 9 support
- Graceful binary upgrades with SIGUSR2
- internal: Support X-Accel-Redir without paths to protect
- templates: Can execute templates loaded by other middleware
- A few really good bug fixes
0.10.6
This is a hotfix for 0.10.5's fastcgi directive which invokes a runtime error
on 32-bit and ARM architectures, due to a known, documented bug in Go. We
don't run tests on 32-bit or ARM (yet) which would have been the only way to
catch this error in an automated fashion. Sorry about that. Enjoy this
release! It's the best one yet.
0.10.5
It's been kind of a crummy week for a lot of people, but here's some good
news: Caddy 0.10.5 is out! This release fixes subtle issues that were present
in proxying WebSockets or FastCGI connections. We've also improved MITM
detection for iOS clients. There is a new header-based load balancing policy.
On top of these changes, of note are these:
The requestid directive has been renamed to request_id to be more consistent
with other directives and subdirectives.
There is a new default timeout in town: the idle timeout now has a default
value of 5 minutes. Unlike the previous default timeouts, we don't expect this
will negatively impact anyone. There is generally no good use for idle
connections, and if you have a good use for them, you can disable this timeout
in your Caddyfile. (We've tested this timeout on several kinds of sites for
months and have had zero problems, only improvements in memory and FD usage.)
This release is compatible with three new 3rd-party plugins! The http.cache
plugin acts as a caching layer of middleware, which can drastically improve
performance of serving your site. http.nobots attempts to dissuade bots from
accessing your site. http.webdav was extracted from the filemanager plugin and
enables webdav serving.
As usual, a HUGE thanks to contributors who made this possible! Most of these
changes were implemented by contributors to the project, while the maintainers
have been busy working on improved proxy middleware and other things (that
hopefully we can reveal soon). Our community is fantastic, and we and all
Caddy users appreciate you. Thank you!

- Renamed requestid directive to request_id

- New 3rd-party plugin directives: cache, nobots, webdav
- New Unix timestamp placeholder {when_unix}
- Improved MITM detection on iOS clients
- errors, log: Fix log rolling parsing
- gzip: Convert any ETag header to weak etag
- fastcgi: Reverted persistent connections (issue #1736)
- proxy: Added header loaded balancing policy
- proxy: Fix hang on chunked WebSockets (e.g. with HomeAssistant)
- Several other bug fixes and minor internal improvements
go14 has no relro support AFAICT.
go-1.8.3 has if you use -buildmode=pie, but it claims it's not supported
on Linux.
Disable relro checking for go packages until bsiegert has time to
look at this.
Caddy is a HTTP/2 web server with automatic HTTPS.
Caddy was born out of the need for a "batteries-included" web server
that runs anywhere and doesn't have to take its configuration with it.
Caddy took inspiration from spark, nginx, lighttpd, Websocketd and
Vagrant, which provides a pleasant mixture of features from each of
them.
