Angie and Angie PRO updated to version 1.8.0#
Version 1.8.0 of the Angie web server and its commercial version Angie PRO has been released, including new features in the ACME module, WebAssembly support, as well as API improvements and new functionality.
Version 1.8.0 of the open-source web server Angie and its commercial version Angie PRO has been released. This is the fourth planned Angie release in 2024.
With this release, the ACME module, designed for automating TLS certificate setup, now supports issuing wildcard certificates.
The new implementation allows Angie to handle DNS queries for domain verification using Angie's own capabilities, which significantly simplifies setup even compared to existing automation tools like certbot.
For more details on these features, see the comprehensive guide we have prepared for this new release.
Version 1.8.0 also includes the previously announced WASM modules for Angie. These modules add WebAssembly (WASM) support and provide a dedicated SDK for creating WASM modules. The WASM implementation in Angie allows developers to write extensions in popular programming languages using the server API and SDK, opening up possibilities for customization and flexible configuration.
Additionally, this update includes:
New settings for the sticky learn mode in Angie PRO, implementing session binding with external storage. Now you can create entire clusters of load balancers with session binding!
API metrics improvements: the status_zone directive now supports variables, allowing detailed statistics based on arbitrary criteria.
Features ported from the freenginx project and nginx version 1.27.3.
