About LibreSpeed
LibreSpeed 6.3 adds shareable result images and fixes Safari upload tests.
LibreSpeed made its rewritten design the default in 6.0.0, then turned to measurement in the 6.2.x line with a connection-stability test and an upload-inflation fix. 6.3.0 in September added a shared-result image matching the chosen design, SERVER_LIST_URL support in frontend Docker mode, and a fix that puts modern Safari on the standard upload path. 6.3.1 in October fixed mixed-content filtering in server selection and the mobile gauge.
