Caddy

We're pleased to present the next previews of Caddy 2.9! While in beta, new features and changes may be unstable, so please test in suitable environments that may expose issues so we can fix them before the stable release.

While there are some features in this release (such as socket-activation-listeners), we've focused mainly on refinements and bug fixes in many areas, including:

• Config loading
• Events
• Logging
• Placeholders
• Reverse proxy and HTTP server performance
• Matchers
• HTTP (esp. HTTP/3)
• Metrics (per-host metrics)

We hope you will enjoy the 2.9 beta releases. Please try them out and report bugs! There is still more to come before the stable 2.9.0 relea

Caddy 2.8 is here! With hundreds of improvements, Caddy is more scalable and capable than ever before. Featuring ACME Renewal Information (ARI) support, HTTP/3 to proxy backends, and so much more than we can list in a sentence, we are pleased to bring you one of the biggest Caddy updates yet. Documentation on our website will be updated in the coming days.

We've implemented a ton of improvements, fixes, and awesome new features based on your feedback. While some of them aren't particularly visible changes, they allow Caddy to scale better and be more reliable in demanding deployments. Many of the changes are quality-of-life improvements we hope you'll appreciate. Then there's improvements to ACMEz, CertMagic, and other dependencies which make Caddy better that may not show up in this list.

Thank you to our sponsors and everyone in the community who contributed! We couldn't have done it without your help. In particular, we'd like to recognize sponsors Stripe, Framer, and ZeroSSL for their positive influence which have greatly enhanced the project.

We've had a lot of documented-deprecated code in place for a long time now, so this version introduces a few more breaking changes than usual; please review the notes below.

In this version we've made several fixes and enhancements with help from several contributors. Most changes are small, but some notable ones:

• The templates middleware is now officially extensible (experimentally). This means modules can add custom functions/actions for templates to execute.
• TLS storage cleaning is now synchronized across the cluster and remembered across restarts. This should greatly lower costs for expensive storage backends like DynamoDB.
• Placeholders are now evaluated in config for certificate loaders.
• Numerous bug fixes.

Thank you to everyone who contributed!

Changelog

In this release, we've fixed quite a few small bugs and annoyances, including HTTP/2 Rapid Reset which affected most HTTP/2 implementations.

On a personal note (from @mholt): I recently became a dad! I want to thank our maintainers for helping in so many ways while I've been taking extra time for family. Francis, Matthew, Mohammed, and others -- including all the contributors below, and then some -- are to thank for shipping this release.

Highlights

• Updated https://github.com/quic-go/quic-go from v0.37.5 to v0.39.0, including many performance improvements.
