v0.7.5

Several significant refinements are introduced in 0.7.5, as well as fixes for bugs that were exposed from changes made in 0.7.4.

  • core: All listeners bind to 0.0.0.0 unless 'bind' directive is used
  • fastcgi: Set HTTPS env variable if connection is secure
  • log: Output to system log (except Windows)
  • markdown: Added dev command to disable caching during development
  • markdown: Fixed error reporting during initial site generation
  • markdown: Fixed crash if path does not exist when server starts
  • markdown: Fixed site generation and link indexing when files change
  • templates: Added .NowDate for use in date-related functions
  • Several bug fixes related to startup and shutdown functions

Most notably, startup and shutdown functions now only execute once even if the server block is defined for more than one host. So where the following Caddyfile used to echo "Hello world" twice, it now echoes only once:

host1, host2 {
    startup "echo Hello world"
}

The fix in fastcgi should be good for any WordPress sites (or other PHP sites) served over HTTPS. Lots of effort went into improving Markdown features to make it easier to build sites with Markdown using only Caddy.

In earlier versions, every listener would bind to the IP address resolved by the hostname from the Caddyfile. This is no longer the case. Now, every listener always binds to the empty/wildcard host (0.0.0.0). This was done by request, but if it causes problems, please report them.

Finally, non-Windows users may output to the system log with the log and errors directives by specifying syslog as the log filename.

From here on out to version 1.0, most changes will be bug fixes, refinements, and enhancements to existing features with a focus on stability and usability.

We hope you enjoy this release, and thank you to all contributors who made it possible!
