nghttp2 1.62.1 released

nghttp2 1.62.1 rpms released and added to EL7, EL8 and EL9 platforms.

At the same time please note that we already build nghttp2 for EL7 and EL8 since 1.61.0 with patches that allow c-ares 1.10 usage, as c-ares 1.16 is the minimum supported version.

nghttp2 requires C++-20 and is built with GCC 13 on EL8 and EL9.

UPD. EL7 platform is built with clang 15.

Apache httpd 2.4.59 with brotli support, TLS 1.3, OpenSSL 3.0.13 with http2, mod_http2 2.0.27 and ALPN for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7/8/9, CentOS 7, Alma Linux 8/9, Rocky Linux 8/9

Apache httpd 2.4.59-1 with brotli compression library from Google, TLS 1.3, http2 (HTTP/2) support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS 7/8, Alma Linux 8/9, Rocky Linux 8/9 added to repository. mod_http2 2.0.13 and mod_ssl are built dynamically against OpenSSL 3.0.11.

Important fix: CVE-2024-27316

We build OpenSSL+QUIC 3.0.11 separately since v2.4.56-2, installing it separately to /lib64 with .so.81.3 suffix to ensure it won’t interfere with your system libraries. You can safely delete openssl111* packages. On EL8 and EL9 please enable httpd module:

dnf module enable httpd:codeit

Since 2.4.33 we added brotli compression library. Since 2.4.35 release we start building Apache httpd against OpenSSL 1.1.1*. Since 2.4.37 release TLS 1.3 final version (not to be confused with any draft versions) is supported and enabled by default. Please note that TLS 1.3 final version is supported in Chrome 70+ and Mozilla Firefox 63+. brotli support is already included in base RPM file. All you need is to add filters like

AddOutputFilterByType BROTLI_COMPRESS text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript application/javascript
