Version 1.4.76-1 of "lighttpd" has been uploaded.

lighttpd is a secure, fast, modular web server with low resource usage

lighttpd 1.4.76:

* detect VU#421644 HTTP/2 CONTINUATION Flood
  * issue trace and send GO_AWAY
  * (lighttpd not vulnerable to attack)

* avoid CVE-2024-3094 xz supply chain attack
  * use 'git archive' to replace 'make dist' to create release tarballs
    * remove excess complexity (m4 and autotools) from release process
    * now more easily verifiable that sources come from signed git release tag

Note:
  This cygwin lighttpd-1.4.76-1 release requires >= cygwin-3.5.0 to take
  advantage of new support for posix_spawn_file_actions_addfchdir_np().
  As this support is optional, please contact me if this is a hardship
  for those unable to upgrade to cygwin-3.5.0 and I can create a package
  of lighttpd without this feature, whose use merely provides a marginal
  performance improvement for starting CGI programs.
