lighttpd is a secure, fast, compliant, and very flexible Web server
which has been optimized for high-performance environments. It has a
very low memory footprint compared to other Web servers, and it takes
care of CPU load. It has an advanced feature set that includes FastCGI
(load balanced), CGI, Auth, Output-Compression, URL-Rewriting, SSL, and
much more.

Changes:
One major (core) and two minor security issues (mod_cgi, mod_userdir) were fixed along with many bugs. Compilation and the test suite now pass cleanly on Solaris. SSL support should result in fewer warnings and If-Range is now honored.
