Passenger 6.0.10

Version 6.0.10 of the Passenger application server has been released. This release fixes compatibility with the CentOS 7 EPEL nginx package.

Passenger 6 introduced Generic Language Support, or: the ability to support any and all arbitrary apps.

Updates & improvements

• [Debian/Ubuntu] Fix a regression in passenger_system_ruby where Ruby 3 couldn't be found.

• [Nginx] The preferred PCRE version is now 8.45 (previously 8.44).

• Updated various library versions used in precompiled binaries (used for e.g. gem installs):

  • cmake 3.20.3 → 3.20.5
  • git 2.31.1 → 2.32.0
  • libksba 1.5.1 → 1.6.0
  • rubygems 3.2.19 → 3.2.21
  • pcre 8.44 → 8.45

CentOS/RHEL 7 Packages

Passenger's Nginx module package now depends on the latest EPEL Nginx (was 1.16.1 now 1.20.1). This fixes the GH-2364 issue.
