Unit 1.31.1 Released§

We are delighted to announce Unit 1.31.1, a maintenance release that fixes several bugs, enhances the WebAssembly technology preview, and updates tools and packaging.

WebAssembly Technology Preview Enhancements§

After a very successful launch of our WebAssembly integration in 1.31.0, we have made some minor improvements. With the unit-wasm SDK, you can now explicitly set the HTTP return code of a given request. Also, requests with payloads larger than 4 GB are now handled properly.

For more information, see the unit-wasm SDK documentation.

Updates to the Unit CLI Tool unitc§

The unitc command line tool is now able to convert Unit configuration between JSON and YAML formats. It also supports a new URI scheme docker:// to make it even easier to work with Unit running in a container.
