Release Notes
The ALOHA 10.0 brings the following improvements:
- Major Features
-
Upgrade to HAPEE 1.8r1, which comprises the following new and improved features:
- HTTP/2 Protocol Support
-
HAPEE now supports HTTP/2 on the client side (i.e. the front-end sections) and can act as a gateway between HTTP/2 clients and your HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/1.0 applications.
- Multi-threading Model
-
The multi-threading model is a feature that allows HAProxy to start multiple threads within a single process.
- Server-template Configuration Directive
-
The
server-template
configuration directive allows you to instantiate a number of placeholder backend servers in a single configuration line, instead of having to add tens or hundreds of configuration lines explicitly. - Dynamic Cookies
-
A new keyword
dynamic
for the directivecookie
now exists to enable cookie-based application persistence. - Improved Runtime API
-
The Runtime API allows administrators and automation systems to interact with HAProxy during runtime. HAProxy version 1.8 comes with further improvements and new directives.
- SSL/TLS Mode Async
-
The OpenSSL library version 1.1.0 and above supports asynchronous I/O operations. This means that the key computation phase (the heaviest part of the TLS protocol) can be run in a non-blocking way in HAProxy.
- New Sample Fetches
-
HAProxy can extract data from traffic passing through it. We call these functions "sample fetches". More information about sample fetches can be found under "Fetching Data Samples" in the HAPEE documentation.
