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.
