How far off is LSWS 5.2 ?

[wanah]

Hello,

So far each RC version of LSWS 5.2 has added quite large features. How far off is LSWS from becomming stable ? Will there be an RC3 with other great features or is the next version going to be a stable version ?

Thanks!

We are working on PageSpeed support currently.

Will PageSpeed be the last major feature before LSWS 5.2 moves to stable ?

 

[mistwang]

Yes, it is a big item.

Very curious about this as well considering cPanel just announced passenger support and it'll include an application manager: https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/66Docs/Application+Manager

We'll need passenger support from the Litespeed side by the time cPanel 66 hits release builds.

I'm curious to know how far away is that 5.2 release from being pushed to cPanel distribution and all that jazz?

Yes, it is a big item.

Isn't PageSpeed just waste of CPU because most of the features of PageSpeed can be made on the application level?
It will be nice if we can add an option like "If response is cacheable via LSCache than use some PageSpeed rules"

Well, some users don't have the ability or expertise to implement PageSpeed features on the application level, as much as they can (and have) be implemented in the server module level.

PageSpeed feature is very CPU intensive, use with caution.

Of course, it's for individual users to figure out if it works for them or not on their specific servers and set up... some of us who have dedicated servers with plenty of juice/power, we'd still like the option to run it as a server module.
