Aprelium announces the availability of new releases of both editions of Abyss Web Server for Windows, Mac OS X/macOS, and Linux:

• Abyss Web Server X1 version 2.12.1: Free personal edition. It isn't a trial version or a demo. It is a fully usable personal web server with no limitations, no nag screens, no spyware, and no advertisements.
• Abyss Web Server X2 version 2.12.1: Professional edition priced at US $59.95. It is a professional web server which comes with 1 year of free upgrades and 1 year of priority technical support.

Users of previous versions should upgrade as soon as possible to this new release.

Change Log

The new version is a maintenance release with the following changes:

• Updated the SSL/TLS engine;
• Swapped the position of the hosts table and the icon panel in the main page of the console;
• Fixed the support of macOS integrated firewall so that the firewall confirmation dialog now only appears once;
• Fixed a bug which resulted in no startup error message when there is already a running instance of Abyss Web Server;
• Fixed a typo in the default directory listing template;
• Fixed a bug which made SSL connections timeout after 60 seconds when sending large files;
• Fixed a bug resulting in the console displaying a blank host name for any old host not associated with a certificate;
• Fixed an issue with the reverse proxy which was sending a default error page with no headers when the back-end reported an error with no body. The issue was especially occurring with error 401 and a null Content-Length;
• Fixed a bug consisting in some FastCGI processes not being properly killed before stopping the server.
