Version 0.7.2 is mostly small changes and fixes, with one breaking change - the git directive was removed. (It is still available as an add-on; keep reading.)

This version also pilots the new Caddy build server which is used to generate custom builds of Caddy for you on-the-fly via the download page or from your automated environments. With it, Caddy becomes a platform on which web services can be produced and consumed. Caddy can continue to grow its feature set without the burden of a growing code base or binary size. If you experience trouble with the build server, please let us know; it needs lots more development in the long term.

The git directive is now available as an add-on feature, which you can select from the Caddy website. Here is the full change list:

  • Custom builds through caddyserver.com - extend Caddy by writing addons
  • browse: Sort by clicking column heading or using query string
  • core: Serving hostname that doesn't resolve issues warning then listens on 0.0.0.0
  • errors: Missing error page during parse time is warning, not error
  • ext: Extension only appended if request path does not end in /
  • fastcgi: Fix for backend responding without status text
  • fastcgi: Fix PATH_TRANSLATED when PATH_INFO is empty (RFC 3875)
  • git: Removed from core (available as add-on)
  • gzip: Enable by file path and/or extension
  • gzip: Customize compression level
  • log: Fix for missing status in log entry when error unhandled
  • proxy: Strip prefix from path for proxy to path
  • redir: Meta tag redirects
  • templates: Support for nested includes
  • Internal improvements and more tests

This version also sports faster SSL on 64-bit architecture thanks to Cloudflare's crypto enhancements. AES and ECDSA should see speedups of over ~20x. The RSA speed is roughly doubled as well. These changes are not directly related to Caddy, since it depends on compiling with their fork of Go.

Note: There's a bug in this release that breaks gzip. The next patch release fixes this.
