4.1.0 "Anthem"

The main change in 4.1.0 is the addition of a new apache_vhost_php_fpm_parameters variable that defines the handler for PHP files. Using this technique (SetHandler) instead of the old ProxyPassMatch method makes for less ambiguity when dealing with plain HTML files, and should be slightly faster too!

Other than that, there are many small bugfixes and optimizations. Enjoy the last release of 2016!

Breaking Changes

• N/A

New/changed variables in default.config.yml

• There's a new apache_vhost_php_fpm_parameters variable that defines the PHP-FPM handler Apache uses per-virtualhost. The old extra_parameters pre-4.1.0 will continue to work, but the new SetHandler technique is better for most scenarios than using ProxyPassMatch.
• The Dashboard entry in nginx_hosts now has is_php: true.
