ferronweb/ferron 3.0.0-rc.8 on GitHub

Host-isolated handler directives: backend/handler selectors (proxy, fcgi, fcgi_php, cgi, scgi, forward_proxy, root, index, basic_auth, rate_limit_backend, static-file tunables, client_ip_from_header, trace_id_header, https_redirect, trailing_slash_redirect, disable_symlinks, directory_listing) no longer inherit from the wildcard * host into named hosts, while global-scope defaults and location-from-host inheritance keep working. Previously, * { proxy ... } would unexpectedly reverse-proxy a named host that only set root. Note: a named host no longer inherits root from *, so give each host its own root (or set it globally).

Basic auth bcrypt hashes: bcrypt hash formats $2a$ , $2b$ , $2x$ , $2y$ are now supported for Basic Auth. This allows using Ferron with control planes and services that expect bcrypt password hashes.

Zero-result cache purge metric: purges with zero results are now visible via a ferron.cache.zero_purge metric, which can help debug or monitor cache purge requests that did not match any entries.

Spurious configuration file hot-reload fix: previously, the server would sometimes hot-reload the configuration even when no changes were made to the configuration file (something would just read the file). This has been fixed.

Admin API listen fail fix: previously, when configuration is reloaded very frequently, the admin API listener would sometimes fail to bind to the configured address due to a race condition.

Prometheus reload listen fail fix: previously, when configuration is reloaded very frequently, the Prometheus listener would sometimes fail to bind to the configured address due to a race condition.
