Release Notes
The centerpiece of RELIANOID 8.2.0 is the eproxy (Enhanced Proxy) —a high-performance, modern proxy designed to handle the demands of enterprise traffic with enhanced capabilities such as HTTP/2 support, hot restarts, and clustering. These features make RELIANOID more robust and adaptable for complex load-balancing environments.
Another highlight is the hot restart functionality, which allows seamless application of configuration changes without disrupting active connections. This ensures maximum uptime and operational stability for mission-critical deployments. The addition of X-Forwarded-For headers by default further enhances tracking and analytics.
In terms of user experience, significant updates to the Web GUI themes make system management more intuitive and visually appealing. Other backend improvements, such as better SSL/TLS handling, version comparison logic, and conntrackd reliability, ensure smoother operations.
Lastly, RELIANOID 8.2.0 addresses a range of critical security vulnerabilities, underscoring our commitment to providing a secure and reliable platform for enterprise deployments. This release resolves multiple issues, including CVEs related to memory safety, privilege escalation, and data integrity, such as CVE-2024-5535, CVE-2024-10979, and CVE-2024-26130. These fixes address vulnerabilities that could have impacted system confidentiality, availability, and stability, ranging from buffer overflows and race conditions to improper input validation. By resolving these issues, RELIANOID enhances its defense against potential threats, ensuring that your load-balancing infrastructure remains robust and secure against emerging risks. We strongly recommend users upgrade to benefit from these critical security enhancements.
We are committed to delivering cutting-edge solutions for our users. Enjoy the new capabilities and reliability brought by RELIANOID 8.2.0!
