For the NGINX trusted open-source alternative project, this version focuses on three core feature breakthroughs: listening configuration hot loading, dynamic four layer proxy configuration, and innovative sandbox preloading. At the same time, this version has also completed comprehensive code security reinforcement work. These features not only mark a new milestone in NJET's technological maturity, but also provide NGINX users with a more flexible, secure, and easily portable open-source option.

1、 Functional feature update:

1. Monitor configuration hot loading

Dynamic monitoring is a core requirement of NJET, and this version implements this capability in both HTTP and Layer 4 proxies - it allows real-time adjustment of monitoring configurations without the need to restart services, adapting to the dynamic characteristics of cloud native environments. At present, it is the first to support SSL protocol, which can meet the dynamic optimization needs of HTTPS services (such as responding to large traffic and flexible load adjustment). The team plans to support full Listener options in the future to achieve full compatibility with static configurations.

2. Dynamic configuration of four layer proxy

To meet the actual project requirements, NJET v4.0.0 implements dynamic four layer proxy configuration core functions, covering:

Virtual Server configuration (real-time modification of IP and port)

Upstream selection (load algorithm, dynamic weight adjustment)

Member maintenance (online addition and deletion of upstream servers)

Certificate Management (SSL Certificate Dynamic Update)

This capability supports "hot configuration" operations, such as zero downtime maintenance in financial scenarios and automatic adaptation service scaling in K8s environments, significantly reducing operation and maintenance costs.

3. Innovative sandbox preloading

Based on the Portal framework, NJET v4.0.0 provides NJET's innovative sandbox - by simply converting NGINX configuration to JSON, network topology and algorithm logic can be verified in a simulated sandbox environment, and visual presentation is supported. This feature solves the adaptation problem of traditional migration and helps users complete the transition from NGINX to NJET with zero risk.

2、 Security feature update:

Last quarter, the Open Atomic Open Source Foundation completed a comprehensive code security scan of NJET, and this version fixes all known security issues. For details, please refer to the fixed issue list.
