General
Released on 2026-01-12, ProxLB 1.1.11 deepens the integration with Proxmox VE by streamlining support for native HA and affinity/anti-affinity rules (beta), enabling more transparent and consistent placement decisions alongside ProxLB’s balancing logic. The release also improves balancing intelligence with VM size–aware placement and respect for node memory reservations, delivering safer, more predictable, and production-ready operations.
