Cloud Native Application Proxy Traefik has released the first release candidate for version 3.0.0. This major release includes support for emerging technologies such as WebAssembly (Wasm), OpenTelemetry, and Kubernetes Gateway API. In addition, the routing rules and security of Traefik have been improved with support for HTTP/3, SPIFFE, and Tailscale.

To ensure a smooth user experience during the migration from the previous version, Traefik provides a complete migration guide and offers backward compatibility with v2 syntax while introducing a progressive path for adopting the v3 syntax.

The enhancements in this release candidate include:

• Addition of weight on ServersLoadBalancer for Docker and service configurations
• Reloading of provider file configuration on SIGHUP
• Upgrade of gateway API to v1.0.0 for Kubernetes
• Support for cross-namespace references and GatewayAPI ReferenceGrants in Kubernetes Gateway API
• Introduction of static config hints for logs
• Removal of observability for internal resources in metrics, tracing, and access logs
• Support for sending DogStatsD metrics over Unix Socket in metrics
• Addition of forwardAuth.addAuthCookiesToResponse in middleware and authentication
• Implementation of the includedContentTypes option for the compress middleware
• Reintroduction of the deprecated IpWhitelist middleware
• Addition of ResponseCode to CircuitBreaker middleware
• Addition of the rejectStatusCode option to IPAllowList middleware
• Support for http-wasm plugin in Traefik
• Reintroduction of v2 rule matchers in rules
• Support for SO_REUSEPORT in EntryPoints for servers
• Support for setting sticky cookie max age in sticky-session
• Migration to OpenTelemetry in tracing and otel
• Reintroduction of dropped v2 dynamic config

The bug fixes in this release candidate include:

• Removal of warning in Kubernetes CRD provider about the supported version
• Fixing of OpenTelemetry unit tests in metrics
• Alignment of OpenTelemetry tracing and metrics configurations in middleware, authentication, metrics, and tracing
• Fixing of brotli response status code when compression is disabled in middleware
• Computing priority for HTTPS forwarder TLS routes in TLS and server configurations

Other changes in this release candidate include documentation updates, support for file path as input parameter for Kubernetes token value, disabling of br compression when no Accept-Encoding header is present in middleware, and merging of v2.11 into v3.0.

The latest version of the web server Caddy, version v2.7.6, has just been released. This update brings several fixes and enhancements, thanks to the contributions of various contributors. While most of the changes are small, there are a few notable ones worth mentioning.

One significant improvement is the official extensibility of the templates middleware. This experimental feature allows modules to add custom functions and actions for templates to execute, providing more flexibility for developers.

Another important enhancement is the synchronized TLS storage cleaning across the cluster, which is now remembered across restarts. This improvement is particularly beneficial for expensive storage backends, as it significantly reduces costs.

In addition, placeholders are now evaluated in the configuration for certificate loaders, enabling more dynamic and flexible configurations.

The release also includes numerous bug fixes, addressing various issues reported by users and improving the overall stability and reliability of the web server.

To view the complete list of changes and contributions, you can refer to the changelog on the official Caddy GitHub repository.

Caddy has released version v2.7.5 of its web server.

This release includes several bug fixes and improvements, including a fix for the HTTP/2 Rapid Reset issue that affected most HTTP/2 implementations. The update also includes an upgrade to quic-go from v0.37.5 to v0.39.0, which brings many performance improvements. The QUIC_GO_DISABLE_GSO and QUIC_GO_DISABLE_ECN environment variables can now be used to disable GSO and ECN if they cause problems. The file server’s fileserver.BrowseTemplate is now exported, allowing it to be customized by programs embedding Caddy. Environment variables loaded with --envfile no longer override existing variables. The encode handler now compresses application/wasm* content types by default. The reverse_proxy handler now has the ability to emit detailed logs for debugging streaming and buffering by setting the verbose_logs subdirective and logging to debug level. The version can now be checked with caddy -v, similar to other CLI utilities.

Caddy is currently on feature freeze until after version 2.8 to improve testing. The full changelog for version v2.7.5 can be found here.
