LiteSpeed Web Server 3.0RC2

[xing]

LiteSpeed Web Server 3.0 RC2 has been released.

3.0RC2 is expected to be the last pre-release version before production launch.

3.0RC2 has been production tested and is deemed stable. We still recommend early adopters to test on development server before going live on production. With any pre-release software, we recommend users to backup their existing configuration. This is pre-release software and we welcome any feedbacks and bug reports.

Download links are at the bottom of this post.

Changes since 3.0RC1:

• Enterprise: new customize access log format support.
• Improved external application process manager: better handling of malfunctioning process and especially useful for FCGI application.
• Improved cPanel compatibility
• Fixed bugs in web administration interface.
• Fixed bugs in request filtering feature that may cause lshttpd to crash.

Major Changes versus v2.2:

Standard/Enterprise
Revamped web console: Streamlined layout, improved configuration parsing and processing to handle 1000+ virtual hosts.
Request Filtering (compatible with SecFilterSelective of mod_security)

Enterprise
IP to GeoLocation Database Support (compatible with Maxmind/mod_geoip)
64bit Optimized Binaries
Customizable Access Log Format

Standard
Sendfile() support enabled.
Max Concurrent Connections: 150

Known Issues:

• Web Console is designed to be compatible with Mozilla/Firefox/Safari/IE/Opera. Older and cli browsers such as lynx will not be fully supported.
• Documentation will be available in production release.
• GeoIP: We currently support all editions of GeoIP databases from MaxMind.

Notes

GeoIP: Set GeoIP database in Server scope and enable GeoIP for specific vhosts. Processed GeoIP data is available in the SERVER environment variables in the variable name format of 'GEOIP_XYZ' where XYZ depends on edition of Maxmind product you use. Fully compatible with scripts designed for mod_geoip.

Request Filtering: We currently support SecFilterSelective directives from mod_security.
