Servers iteration via promex is now resilient to server runtime deletion thanks to the watcher mechanism. However, the watcher was not correctly initialized which could cause duplicate metrics reporting. This issue happens when promex dump yielded when manipulating the last server of a proxy. If this server is removed in parallel, <sv> pointer will be set to NULL when promex resumes. Instead of switching to another proxy, the code would reuse the same one and iterate again on the same server list. To fix this issue, <sv> pointer must not be reinitialized just after a resumption point. Instead, this is now performed before promex_dump_srv_metrics(), or just after switching to another proxy instance. Thus, on resumption, if promex_dump_srv_metrics() is started with <sv> as NULL, it means that the server was deleted and the end of the current proxy list is reached, hence iteration is restarted on the next proxy instance. Note that ctx.p[1] does not need to be manually updated at the end of promex_dump_srv_metrics() as srv_watch already does that. This patch must be backported up to 3.0.
HAProxy

Installation
The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.
Getting help
The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.
The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.
Documentation
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.
