# Angie and Angie PRO receive update 1.7.0

*20.09.2024*

The new versions of the Angie 1.7.0 open-source web server and the commercial
edition, Angie PRO 1.7.0, are now available, offering significant improvements
and new features.

The 1.7.0 versions of the Angie open-source web server and its commercial counterpart, Angie PRO, have been released. This update includes numerous enhancements to increase server reliability and resilience, with features ported from the freenginx project.

Based on client requests, we've introduced three key features:

1. **DNS Query Statistics**: Track statistics of outgoing DNS queries from
   the built-in caching resolver.
2. **Certificate Type Variable**: Displays information about the type of certificate
   being used, which is useful in configurations with multiple certificate
   types.
3. **Forced Connection Termination on Backend Removal**: A feature similar to
   proxy_session_drop in NGINX Plus but with several improvements:
   - Functions in both the stream and HTTP modules, which is particularly helpful for
     long-term WebSocket connections.
   - Allows configuration of wait times before closing connections.
   - In Angie PRO, this mode can be dynamically enabled for each server through
     the API.

Additionally, Angie PRO introduces enhanced traffic management tools, including
new load balancing modes and bug fixes.
