Nginx 1.8.1

Nginx 1.8.1 has been released on January 26th 2016, to fix three security issues in its resolver.

As a consequence, packages of Nginx 1.8.1 are now available :

  • for Debian 8 “Jessie”, Debian 7 “Wheezy” and Debian 6 “Squeeze”
  • On both amd64 and i386 architectures.

Please also note that ngx_pagespeed has been updated to :

  • version 1.10.33.2 on Jessie
  • only version 1.9.32.11 on Wheezy and Squeeze, because the 1.10 branch now requires GCC 4.8+. Usage of ngx_pagespeed on Wheezy and Squeeze has been kept for compatibility purpose but is highly discouraged. Upgrade to Jessie instead.

For more details about which modules are included in the different Nginx flavors, just have to look at this document.

PHP 7.0.2 for Jessie

On January 7th 2016, the PHP group published PHP 7.0.2.

31 reported bugs has been fixed, including 6 security related issues. All PHP 7.0 users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.

Packages of PHP 7.0.2 are now available for Debian 8 “Jessie” on amd64 and i386 architectures.

Please note that :

  • You should remove any PHP5 packages before upgrading
  • Packages of the PECL extensions (Memcache, Memcached, Mongo, Redis, Xdebug…) are still missing.
  • The thread-safe version of all these packages will be published soon.

Please make sure that you understand the above PHP/Debian/Dotdeb changes and that you don’t need any of the missing features/packages. Your feedbacks are always welcome. Just make sure they are useful.

These packages have been published on the main repository for Jessie because they have new names because they shouldn’t conflict with any PHP5 installation. So to get PHP 7.0.2 , just follow the regular instructions for Jessie.

And as usual, feel free to show your support, it is always greatly appreciated… 🙂
