Full changelog

This release contains a number of fixes for various smaller but annoying bugs, including one regression regarding API authentication with certain HTTP client libraries. It also ensures that Icinga 2 is compatible with newer OpenSSL versions.

Bugfixes

  • Fix a regression introduced with v2.16.0, that broke API authentication for clients that only send HTTP Basic Auth credentials after the server requested them (#10927)
  • Improve locking of performance data arrays to prevent possible deadlocks (#10930)
  • Fix high response latency with multiple API requests targeting non-existent hosts or services (#10928)

Enhancements and Documentation

  • Add support for OpenSSL 4.0 (#10934)
  • Remove Amazon Linux 2 from the documentation after it has reached its end of life (#10935)
