Status of HAProxy's known bugs per version (as of 2009/10/18)

I have noticed that there are still quite a lot of people running old versions which contain important bugs they're not aware of. Sometimes they even send bug reports while a fixed version has been available for months.

This matrix is there to help these people discover what issue might affect them on the version they are running. It only covers stable branch 1.3 starting from 1.3.14.

Bugs are classified by low to high importance, low implying minor inconvenience, medium implying unexpected behaviour and high meaning a risk of service disruption.

An 'X' in a column indicates the bug affects that version with no known easy workaround. A 'W' indicates that the bug is present but a reasonable workaround is possible. An 'S' indicates a sleeping bug which could not be triggered under known conditions but which could have with minor unrelated code changes, so it might possibly affect some patched versions.
