Nginx 1.30 Released With Multipath TCP, ECH & More
Nginx 1.30 was just released as the newest stable version of this popular web server. Nginx 1.30 incorporates all of the changes from the Nginx 1.29.x mainline branch to provide a lot of new functionality like Multipath TCP (MPTCP).
Nginx 1.29.7 last month delivered on Multipath TCP for this web server to support a single data connection leveraging multiple network paths simultaneously for greater throughput and seamless handover across connections.
Also new to Nginx 1.30 stable is HTTP 103 Early Hints support to begin preloading resources like CSS and JavaScript even before receiving the final response from the server. Major web browsers like Chrome are already supporting Early Hints.
Nginx 1.30 also adds HTTP/2 to backend and Encrypted Client Hello (ECH), sticky sessions support for upstreams, and the default proxy HTTP version being set to HTTP/1.1 with Keep-Alive enabled.
