1.11.x Release Notes

This page summarizes notable changes in the 1.11 minor series. Patch-level releases are listed below.

1.11 focuses on higher throughput, production-friendly logging, and improved Redis connectivity under load. The foundation has been optimized substantially.

1.11.3​

New

  • Redis: In‑process account name cache (server.redis.account_local_cache) to reduce repeated lookups for frequently used users. Disabled by default.
  • Redis: Client‑side command batching (server.redis.batching) to pipeline small commands and reduce round‑trips under load. Disabled by default.
  • HTTP middlewares: Feature switches to enable/disable individual middlewares (server.middlewares), including logging, limit, recovery, trusted_proxies, request_decompression, response_compression, and metrics. Enabled by default unless explicitly set to false.

Documentation

  • Server Configuration updated with defaults and YAML examples for the new Redis features.
  • Full Configuration Example updated accordingly.

Highlights​

  • New log level: notice
    • Emits essential, high-signal events suited for production.
  • Redis connection and timeout tuning
    • Better pooling defaults and improved behavior under network hiccups; clear guidance for pool sizing.
  • Core runtime optimizations
    • Significantly reduced overhead in hot paths for higher request throughput.

Configuration changes (New in v1.11.0)​

Logging​

  • server.log.level supports a new level: notice
    • Intended for production to keep logs concise while preserving operational visibility.

Example:

server:
  log:
    level: notice

Redis​

  • Connection handling tuned for busy deployments.
  • Time budget enforcement aligns with server.timeouts.redis_read and server.timeouts.redis_write.
  • Guidance for pool tuning added to Server Configuration.

See:

  • Configuration → Server Configuration → Redis → Connection and timeout tuning
  • Configuration → Server Configuration → Timeouts

Performance​

  • Internal subsystems refactored to reduce allocations and contention in authentication flows.
  • Improved connection reuse and reduced churn for Redis workloads.

Compatibility​

  • No breaking configuration changes compared to 1.10.
  • The new notice level is additive and fully backward compatible.

Lua runtime loading​

  • The legacy dynamic_loader has been removed. Calls to dynamic_loader are now no-ops and emit a warning to the log if invoked. Use plain require("<module>") in Lua scripts.

Upgrade notes​

  • Review your logging configuration and consider using notice in production.
  • Revisit Redis pool_size and idle_pool_size if you previously tuned around connection churn.
  • Validate timeouts for redis_read and redis_write against your network conditions.
