Installation instructions for HAProxy
=====================================
This is a development version, so it is expected to break from time to time,
to add and remove features without prior notification and it should not be used
in production. If you are not used to build from sources or if you are not used
to follow updates then it is recommended that instead you use the packages
provided by your software vendor or Linux distribution. Most of them are taking
this task seriously and are doing a good job at backporting important fixes. If
for any reason you'd prefer to use a different version than the one packaged
for your system, you want to be certain to have all the fixes or to get some
commercial support, other choices are available at http://www.haproxy.com/.
HAProxy 2.2 is a long-term supported version, which means that it will get
fixes for bugs as they are discovered till around Q2 2025 and will not receive
new features. This version is suitable for general deployment as it is expected
to receive less frequent updates than regular stable branches which have an odd
digit in the minor version number. New users are strongly advised encouraged to
use only such long-term supported versions such as the ones provided by their
software vendor or Linux distribution. If for any reason you would prefer a
different version than the one packaged for your system, you want to be certain
to have all the fixes or to get some commercial support, other choices are
available at http://www.haproxy.com/.
