caddyserver/caddy v2.9.0-beta.3

on GitHub

We're pleased to present the next previews of Caddy 2.9! While in beta, new features and changes may be unstable, so please test in suitable environments that may expose issues so we can fix them before the stable release.

While there are some features in this release (such as socket-activation-listeners), we've focused mainly on refinements and bug fixes in many areas, including:

• Config loading
• Events
• Logging
• Placeholders
• Reverse proxy and HTTP server performance
• Matchers
• HTTP (esp. HTTP/3)
• Metrics (per-host metrics)

We hope you will enjoy the 2.9 beta releases. Please try them out and report bugs! There is still more to come before the stable 2.9.0 release!

Thanks to all contributors, bug reporters, and helpers.
