Nginx 1.8.0 stable has been released
- reinhardt1053 11y agoDoes it come with the new TCP load balancer?
- RKearney 11y agoIt does not. Here's the diff between 1.8.0 and 1.7.12 http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/changeset/01d52c2b460da263fd1557ab5f8d0af5e404b47a/nginx/?old=3ef00a71f56420a9c3e9cec311c9a2109a015d67&old_path=%2Fnginx http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/changeset/01d52c2b460da263fd1557...
- pdevr 11y agoDoes not look like it[1]. [1] http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES-1.8 http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES-1.8
- sarahnovotny 11y agoThe upcoming 1.9 mainline release will include the TCP load balancer.
- ck2 11y agoDifficult for me to get over the idea of waiting for x.1 releases. Tired of being a beta tester. But nice feature list.
- cryowaffle 11y agoThis is what iteration looks like. Would you like to not have the opportunity to see smaller releases? You can look away.
- realityking 11y agoWe've been running 1.7.12 in production for about a week, so far it's as solid as 1.6 has been. So far I see no reason not to use the mainline.
- true_religion 11y agoI don't understand. This is 1.8 which is a stable release but non-breaking release. If it were versioned 1.8.1 it'd be a mainline release which is more experimental.
- xrstf 11y agoI'm always confused by nginx's version scheme. What does "mainline" mean? Is mainline better or worse than stable?
- dadoprso 11y agohttp://nginx.com/blog/nginx-1-6-1-7-released/ http://nginx.com/blog/nginx-1-6-1-7-released/ explains it
- xrstf 11y agoThanks. So the 1.7 mainline version on the downloads page should be "1.9 mainline" soon?
- sarahnovotny 11y agoexactly.
- ghantila 11y agoYeah! Exactly. 1.9.0 is set to release on April 28, 2015.
- Sir_Cmpwn 11y agoMainline is where new features arrive. Think of it kind of like what used to be Firefox Aurora. Stable is snapshots of mainline taken less frequently that are considered suitable for long term use. Mainline has newer features, but isn't quite a nightly build. Stable has fewer features but is more stable. I use mainline for my needs, including in production.
- bryanlarsen 11y agoThe really interesting point is that nginx considers mainline to be more reliable than stable because stable does not receive all bug fixes, only the critical ones.

- sparaker 11y agoBeen waiting for this: "backend SSL certificate verification". Thank you nginx team.
- BadassFractal 11y agoCould someone kindly explain that for the uninitiated?
- JonathonW 11y agoPretty sure it's verifying SSL certificates of the proxied (backend) servers in a reverse proxy configuration-- so that you know you're talking to the backend server that you think you're talking to (in case your internal network gets MITM'd, I guess, or if you're talking to backend servers across a public network). At least, that's what I gather from the new config options they linked to (the relevant options are the proxy_ssl_* directives).
