It brings some changes under the hood and modernises the base system. On top of that, minor issues are being fixed and some packages have been updated. Apache 2.4 The web server that runs the web user interface is Apache, which now has been updated from 2.2 to the more recent 2.4 version. This mainly patches some security issues that would potentially have arisen since Apache 2.2 is no lon= ger maintained. We have also migrated from the prefork modul to the MPM event system which reduces the amount of processes running and reduces the memory footprint of t= he web user interface and some features like the update accelerator. Overall, this is change is not significant from the end-user perspective, but has been necessary to modernise the distribution and make it fit for the futu= re. Thanks for Wolfgang Apolinarski who has been spearheading this update. Manual Action Required! For all users that have installed own Virtual Hosts in Apache, the web user interface won=E2=80=99t restart after the update. Please= update the configuration files to the new configuration file format of Apache 2.4 and th= en restart the system. All IPFire add-ons will of course be automatically migrat= ed. A potential information leak has also been closed where the version of the IPFire system could be obtained from the local network without logging in to = the web user interface. Cosmetic Changes Matthias Fischer and Peter M=C3=BCller have been working on improving the app= earance of the web user interface with their attention to some details. Among those a= re changes to the Wireless Access Point and Proxy pages as well as many improvements of the German translation which removes typos and rewords many things for better localisation.
