Cherokee 0.6.0 is out

As I anticipated some weeks ago, Cherokee 0.6.0 has finally been released. It was a couple of days ago but it caught me away and with no Internet access until now.

Anyway, the trunk was branched on March 6th and after some exhaustive testing and a little polishing here and there … here it is!!!

You should take a look at Alvaro’s site and at the official Cherokee Project’s website. Suffice it to say a lot of work has been put into the new release, and the effort has been well invested. Work will resume shortly to improve an already impressive web server, and as advancements are made towards 0.7 a lot of new features will be added. A fast look at the TODO file will give you an idea of what is yet to come: a bunch of new handlers and modules (WSGI, AJPv13, WebDAV, mod_evasive, upload progress module), generic caching, new header entry, AIO based fdpoll, memcached support, chunked encoding, Dtrace hooks, better language support…

As I said previously, stay tuned. You’ll be able to expect a lot from this project in the near future. That is a given ;)

UPDATE: I forgot to mention the most important thing. Here is the original announcement of the release at the official mailing list.
