[1.1.9] - 2025-10-30
General
I’m happy to announce ProxLB 1.1.9, a feature-focused release that was built entirely around your feedback and the discussions from Dutch Proxmox Day 2025 (hosted by Tuxis (https://tuxis.nl).
This version doesn’t include breaking changes, but instead adds several requested features that make ProxLB more flexible, intelligent, and even better aligned with modern Proxmox VE environments. All improvements in this release are the direct result of community input (I'm always happy to get more feedback and ideas)! Your feedback continues to shape how ProxLB evolves, pushing it further toward a smarter, data-driven load balancing experience for Proxmox clusters.
This release is sponsored by my employer @credativ (https://credativ.de) who provides me the required time to make ProxLB better!
