I am pleased to announce a new maintainance release of the uWSGI  
project:

- 0.9.6.6 [20101230]

- support for YAML configuration files

- backported python module aliasing from 0.9.7-dev  
[The uWSGI project — uWSGI 2.0 documentation](http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/wiki/PymoduleAlias)

- better apache2 module (support for SetEnv directive, fixed REQUEST\_URI  
and improved connection handling)

- uwsgi.post\_fork\_hook implementation (to execute function after fork()  
(thanks George Kollias)

- option --gid calls setgroups() after setgid() (thanks Jorge Cardona)

- fixed uGreen compilation (and uGreen is now built by default)

- fixed timeout and thundering herd problem in async modes  
(many thanks to Test157 for giving us a good async-test-app)

- disable TCP\_INFO in older Linux kernels (thanks Bo Shi)

- enable TCP\_INFO in FreeBSD (limited usage due to FreeBSD kernel  
support)

- fixed static virtualhosting mode using xml files  
(thanks Andrea Notari of Link I.T. spa)

- new option --close-on-exec (thanks Jean-Baptiste Q.)

- use HTTP\_HOST var (and fallback to SERVER\_NAME) in virtual hosting  
mode
