Release Notes
In response to user feedback and evolving requirements, RELIANOID 7.2.0 introduces two powerful features to the load balancing arsenal. The first allows users to enhance their control over backend prioritization, enabling a more tailored and efficient load balancing strategy. The second feature introduces a Least Response Scheduler specifically designed for HTTP farms, optimizing the distribution of traffic and ensuring optimal performance across your web infrastructure.
RELIANOID 7.2.0 comes with several key improvements to elevate your user experience. The system now operates on the solid foundation of Debian 12.5, ensuring a secure and up-to-date environment. The cluster service is now included by default, simplifying the setup for those deploying clustered environments. Additionally, we’ve invested in enhancing the developer documentation’s syntax, making it more accessible and user-friendly. The HTTP farms parser has been fortified to improve robustness, and good practices have been applied across the core codebase to achieve Critic Level 4 compliance, ensuring the highest standards of code quality.
This release addresses some bugfixes to fortify the reliability and stability of RELIANOID. Cluster replication issues have been resolved, ensuring a seamless and consistent cluster environment. Bugs related to the addition of Control directives in HTTP farms during configuration file migration have been fixed. The GUI now correctly handles options for HTTPS backends, virtual hosts, and pattern enabling, eliminating potential issues. Furthermore, the release addresses and rectifies bugs related to handling multiple load balancer sessions simultaneously, ensuring a smooth user experience in all scenarios.
We invite you to explore the new features, enjoy the improved performance and reliability, and continue providing us with valuable feedback. Thank you for choosing RELIANOID as your load balancing solution.
