Hi folks, We are glad to announce that Tengine-1.4.5 (development version) has been released. You can either checkout the source code from github: https://github.com/alibaba/tengine or download the tarball directly: http://tengine.taobao.org/download/tengine-1.4.5.tar.gz
In this release, we have added the consistent_hash module which dispatches requests to upstream servers based on consistent hashing algorithm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_hashing). It is better than the ip_hash module, by decreasing the possibility of hash key to be remapped when the number of servers changes. We also introduced the "keepalive_timeout" directive to set timeout for the upstream keepalive connections. It can reduce the sum of idle connections with backend servers. Two new configure script options '--enable-mods-shared=all' and '--enable-mods-static=all' were added. Now you can compile all the modules to be shared or static. The full changelog is as follows: *) Feature: added the consistent_hash module which dispatches requests to upstream servers based on consistent hashing algorithm of a variable specified. (dinic) *) Feature: added the "keepalive_timeout" directive to set timeout for upstream keepalive connections. (jinglong) *) Feature: now the configure script supports compilation of all modules to be shared or static. (monadbobo) *) Change: updated the Lua module to 0.7.19. (jinglong) *) Change: merged the changes of Nginx-1.2.8. (yaoweibin) *) Bugfix: fixed the compile warnings of syslog and upstream_check modules. (magicbear) For those who don't know Tengine, it is a free and open source distribution of Nginx with some advanced features.
