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