This Hypernode release brings a lot of small fixes.

  • the Redis-database is no longer saved to disk. A drawback is that your cache in Redis will be flushed if Redis restarts, but the pro’s outweigh the cons :). Redis performance will get a boost and be more predictable because it doesn’t have to write to the disk. You’ll save diskspace.
  • Redis is now limited to 512 MB memory usage (before: unlimited). Unlimited Redis usage could easily lead to denial of service attacks.
  • we make sure that ntpd (the system that keeps the local clock in sync) is enabled
  • we’ve disabled a MySQL setting that causes a lot of overhead with queries on a large core_url_rewrite table.
  • sessions from var/session/ are now removed if they are older than 7 days
