Release Notes​

Multi-language plugin​

With the release of the first version of -java-plugin-runner, and -go-plugin-runner completes its main functions, the multi-language plugin of Apache supports the two most widely used back-end programming languages. If you are still worried that the development of Apache plugin will be limited to Lua ecosystem, please try our multi-language plugin runner to develop Java / Go plugins.

Enhanced four-layer TCP proxy​

In version 2.7, we have developed new features of TCP proxy, including:

• Allow domain name configuration in upstream
• Allow mqtt-proxy plugin to configure domain name
• Support for receiving TLS over TCP connections, the certificate of which can be dynamically configured just like HTTPS certificate
• SNI-based route rules
• Dynamic verification of client certificates

In future releases, we will continue to improve TCP proxy, so stay tuned!

Enhanced Nginx configuration​

We hope to dynamically set more and more Nginx configurations, so we add our own patches and Nginx C modules to enhance the native Nginx.

The following new features are currently included:

• Dynamically set mTLS
• Dynamically set client_max_body_size

In future releases, we will continue to allow the following Nginx configurations to be set dynamically:

• upstream keepalive
• gzip
• real_ip
• proxy_max_temp_file_size
