4.0 RC1 release

[mistwang]

4.0 RC1 release is available now.

The goal of this release is to stabilize 4.0 release and get read y for 4.0 official release, so there is no major new feature added, in order not to further delay 4.0 release some features planed for 4.0 are rescheduled for 4.1 release.

4.0 RC1 release include main features: SSI (Server Side Include), mod_security 2.x rule support, large file and mod_cache. It makes conversion from Apache 2.x a lot easier.

4.0 RC1 release should be stable for production use as some hosting companies already use it on production servers.

Special thanks to Tony from Hawkhost.com, who has submitted many bug reports and provided assistances in fixing those bugs.

I was just motivated to not have to run Apache at all

[AquariusRyan]

Aquariusstorage.com has also been running rc1 in a production environment (across all live web hosting webservers) for about a week and honestly haven't had one complaint at all. Sorry for the lack of bug reports, but we simply cant find any....very stable, and we was very happy to finally be able to kill Apache

Is there any way upgrade via the ./install.sh script from my current installation?

[mistwang]

Yes, just run the installer to upgrade.

I have set the cache directory to /tmp/lshttpd/swap
Is it correct configuration to enable Cache function?

You need to enable the large file support during installation.
