Release notes
.htaccess updated
In order for the one of the bug fixes and the new features to work, you need to upgrade your old .htaccess file. The new rules can be copied from boosted1.txt or boosted2.txt depending on your setup.
Bug Fixes:
#367081: System-Ran Cron, Not User - Boost will now throw a notice if you didn't follow step #7 in INSTALL.txt (set $base_url in settings.php).
#374067: Pages expires long before their lifetime - Cron does not clear static cache if css & js aggeragion is turned off.
#337435: Non unicode in URL changes to ___.html - Cache URI's that only contain ASCII characters can be turned on or off under admin/settings/performance -> Static page cache -> Advanced settings -> Only allow ASCII characters in path. Should help with i18n support, by turning this off. Boost also will not cache a page unless apache can serve it, if this setting is true. Default True.
#204832: Cached pages are created but not served - Rewrite rules bug fix.
#223496: Use SCRIPT_FILENAME instead of PHP_SELF - PHP 4 bug.
#356613: Boost cron run produces error because of empty cache directory.
New Features:
#141954: Gzipping of static html files (*.html.gz) - Boost will now serve gzipped content to the user if they support gzip. Gzipped content is in the cache/gz/ dir. Default True.
#276495: Update for Rewrite Rules - Give Boost even bigger performance gain - The safe part of this is now in place. Holding off on the full implementation of this until we get multi-site & subdir .htaccess rules updated & tested.
#174380: Remove symlink creation. Let each path have own file - Symlinks are no longer created/used. Windows should now work! Better i18n support as well.
