Varnish Purge 8.x-1.4 is out

As for Purge module 8.x-3.0-beta5, creation of cache tags is removed from the Purge module itself, and should now be handled by purges instead – so from Varnish Purge 8.x-1.4 we now have a sub-module, Varnish Purger Tags, that handles the cache tags.

To use Varnish Purge with cache tags, from version 8.x-1.4, you need to activate the new sub-module. And also you need to reconfigure the Purger – because we renamed the Header for the cache tags to Cache-Tags, because we see no point calling it something else, so you also need to update your VCL file, if you using the older settings – Purge-Cache-Tags – for an example, see our example VCL.

In the near future, we are going to move the creation of the cache tags to it’s own separate module, because I think it does not make sense to have a bunch of sub-modules for purgers doing the same thing.
