Can now be configured to force absolute URLs instead of scheme-relative URLs. Drupal 9 support! ⚠️ Requires Drupal 8.8.

The one year anniversary! 🎉 Released exactly one year after 8.x-3.0, the first stable release!

The first two real problems were reported, and both reported by Steven Jones — thanks Steven 👌 🙂 This release:

The first stable release (8.x-3.0) was released just over 8 months ago. Zero bugs have been reported! In this release:

After 10 weeks of RCs, here's the first stable release!

The CDN module is fully ported to Drupal 8. It is much simpler to use (just look at the UI). It has less overhead (the UI is in a separate module, the altering of file URLs has far simpler logic). It has lower technical complexity (File Conveyor support was dropped, it no longer needs to detect HTTP vs HTTPS: it always uses protocol-relative URLs, less unnecessary configurability, the farfuture functionality no longer tries to generate file and no longer has extremely detailed configurability).

After two weeks of beta1, here's RC1! Since no bugs were reported (and I fixed the ones I found), I felt it was time for an RC, to get more people to test it :)

In this second alpha release, things are mostly the same as in the first alpha release, plus the SEO (duplicate content prevention) feature is now ported (#2708771: Port SEO (duplicate content prevention) to 8.x-3.x).

In this first alpha release:

Final bugfix release! (Since Drupal 6 is going EOL later this month.)

The last time a bug was reported was 10 months ago. The fix is included in this release. Most bugs are likely fixed at this point.

Enjoy!

Release with new features. Most notably: #1060358: CDN and SEO — avoid SEO penalties. Also many, many bugs squashed. Many small ones, but also a few very important ones:@font-face CSS hack URLs are now supported, and the "Far Future expiration" setting is now again able to generate image styles for sites that have the infamous itok query string (which is present by default).

Changes since 6.x-2.5:

For details, see the changelog below. High-level changes:
- new: Automatically distribute certain filetypes over multiple CDNs (with unit tests) — makes the parallel_css module obsolete
- new: Support rewriting file URLs in blocks (D7-only)
- new: Cache Audit support
- fix: Create different CSS aggregation files for HTTP and HTTPS
- fix: UFI mapping not correctly applied (now with unit tests)
- UX: Warn users that CSS aggregation should be enabled
- UX: Warn users when using Far Future expiration with a static file server or same-server-subdomains

If you're using Origin Pull and the Far Future expiration option and you're still on version 2.2, upgrade ASAP: SA-CONTRIB-2012-022 - CDN - Information disclosure!

Important!
You have to rebuild your menus (only if you're upgrading from version 2.2), so that the new Far Future URLs actually work, plus you have to clear the CSS cache (even if you're already on version 2.3) so that the file URLs in the CSS files (usually to images, but also fonts, for example) are updated to use correct Far Future URLs.
You can do that:
- with Drush: drush cc menu && drush cc css+js.

Many small bug fixes, most relating to Far Future expiration. Very important: Far Future expiration is now disabled by default, because some users were experiencing problems with it. Those problems should now all be a thing of the past though!
Small new feature: revamped per-page statistics. Better documentation for Far Future expiration (it requires CSS aggregation to be enabled!). And … finally the first unit tests (only on D7)!

Many small bug fixes, some new features (overridden Drupal core's CSS aggregation to alter image URLs, DNS prefetching, CORS support, new UFI method) and a security fix.

If you're using Origin Pull and the Far Future expiration option, upgrade ASAP: SA-CONTRIB-2012-022 - CDN - Information disclosure!

Version 2.1 was already very stable. This release fixes all known bugs.

Major new functionality:
- Far Future expiration support
- Advanced Help support
- hook_cdn_blacklist(): modules can now blacklist files that should not be served from a CDN

Changes since 6.x-2.1:

Initial port of the CDN module to Drupal 7. All functionality has been ported. An upgrade path is provided.

This should be fairly stable. Feedback is of course very much welcomed.

The goal for 2.0 is simple: make the CDN module kick ass. This will be done in three ways:

1. ✓ significant expansion of functionality
2. ✓ awesome UI
3. ✓ excellent documentation, including high-quality screencasts

(Screencasts are yet to be made.)

Upgrade notes
(Can also be found in UPGRADE.txt.)

Upgrading from CDN integration 1.x to 2.x requires applying a new core patch. Alternatively, there is now a new type of CDN integration that does not require a core patch, instead it relies on the theme layer to alter file URLs. It is slower and won't be able to alter *all* file URLs, but it is easier to use. When the module detects that the patch is not applied, it will automatically fall back to this mechanism.
Also note that the core patch is already included in Pressflow!

The recommended steps to update your Drupal site are:
1) Copy the 1.x core patch (patches/drupal6.patch) to the Drupal root directory.
2) Revert the 1.x core patch:

patch -p0 -R < drupal6.patch

3) Disable CDN integration at admin/settings/cdn.
4) Update the CDN integration module code.
5) Copy the 2.x core patch (patches/drupal6.patch) to the Drupal root directory.
6) Apply the 2.x core patch:

patch -p0 < drupal6.patch

7) Re-enable CDN integration at admin/settings/cdn.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Drupal core patch has changed in beta 6 (not in this RC)! So, before updating, revert the patch of beta 3 (or from beta 2, if you're upgrading from beta 2). Then update the code. Then apply the new patch.
