Cherokee 0.6.0 released

We have finally released Cherokee "Shake well before using" 0.6.0!

A huge amount of work has been put on this release. It has taken us more than two years to complete it. There are too many changes to be listed here; as a summary, the most important improvements over the previous Cherokee 0.5 series are:

  • Administration Interface: You will not need to edit a text file in order to configure the web server any longer! A user friendly web interface will assist you to set up your site.
  • 20% to 25% faster Even if our previous Cherokee releases perform very well, Cherokee 0.6 is even faster!
  • Load balancing support has been added. It can distribute load between multiple FastCGI, SCGI and HTTP servers from within the web server.
  • The authentication support has been improved by adding new modules for validation against MySQL and LDAP servers.
  • A new documentation system has been integrated, which has allowed the developer team to significantly improve the user documentation.
  • This is the safest version of Cherokee ever. A new recovery mechanism has been integrated to ensure that the server will always be up and running.
  • Looks nicer: new themes and icon sets have been included.

The source tarball is already available for download.

Just some words to Congratulate The Cherokee Team. It is not difficult to notice the amount of work and hours that you have put into this project. By the way.. I like the user friendly Interface, it makes my life much more easy. Thank you!!

I cannot wait to try this one out; the admin interface is what I'm most looking forward to trying out. Thanks for your work!

FastCGI support is listed both in the features list and on the bounties page, what's up with that?
What about PHP performance ? on Wed Mar 19 11:43:30 2008

I see 2 (old) benchmarks but no word if it is about static content or dynamic one (or I read too fast) I see it supports PHP in cgi mode but what is the perf compared to good old Apache 2.2 + mod_php5 ?
