This one was deprecated in 2.3 and marked for removal in 2.5. It suffers too many limitations compared to threads, and prevents some improvements from being engaged. Instead of a bypassable startup error, there is now a hard error. The parsing code was removed, and very few obvious cases were as well. The code is deeply rooted at certain places (e.g. "for" loops iterating from 0 to nbproc) so it will not be that trivial to remove everywhere. The "bind" and "bind-process" parsers will have to be adjusted, though maybe not completely changed if we later want to support thread groups for large NUMA machines. Some stats socket restrictions were removed, and the doc was updated according to what was done. A few places in the doc still refer to nbproc and will have to be revisited. The master-worker code also refers to the process number to distinguish between master and workers and will have to be carefully adjusted. The MAX_PROCS macro was reset to 1, this will at least reduce the size of some remaining arrays. Two regtests were dependieng on this directive, one with an explicit "nbproc 1" and another one testing the master's CLI using nbproc 4. Both were adapted.
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for : - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use - LICENSE for the project's license - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory : - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux - doc/management.txt for the management guide - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference - doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style - doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
