Progress. Performance. Lasso 9.1.4 Released.

The Lasso 9.1 web development platform is growing in active use - and in new capabilities. 

Released October 27, 2011 Lasso Server 9.1.4 sees an important change in the introduction of a custom replacement of the FastCGI module for Apache. The new module is called mod_lasso9.

LassoSoft's R&D team developed mod_lasso9 to solve an inherant limitation found in communication between Apache and mod_fastcgi. According to Kyle Jessup, LassoSoft's Lead Lasso Developer and Architect, it allows Lasso 9 to speed up file uploads, which was a universally desired improvement. With processor speeds doubling every two years, and bandwidth speeds also steadily improving, peoples expectation of file uploads has also risen. Lasso 9 is noted for it's high performance overall, so finding an area that was bottlenecked by third-party components made us think strategically and invest the time to customize a module to do this for ourselves.

The custom mod_lasso9 module still talks FastCGI, so other modules will continue to work as before. The new module avoids conflicts with other server tools like Plesk and CPanel, making it easier for Lasso 9 to share the server, play nicely, and not get blamed for playground bust-ups.
