phusion/passenger release-6.0.0

Release 6.0.0

on GitHub

Introduces support for all programming languages. Yes that's right... Java, Elixir, Go — Passenger now supports them all! This effort is called "generic language support".

Bumps the preferred Nginx version to 1.15.7.

Introduces anonymous usage telemetry, which helps us improve Passenger. Please read the docs on what data is collected and how to disable this.

[Nginx] Introduces a new option "passenger_request_buffering on|off", to allow disabling request body buffering. This is only supported in Nginx >= 1.15.3. Closes GH-2121.

Updated various library versions used in precompiled binaries (used for e.g. gem installs):

• OpenSSL: 1.0.2q (was: 1.0.2p)
• libcurl: 7.62.0 (was: 7.61.1)
• Ruby: 2.3.8 (was: 2.3.7)
