This new version finally brings some new features for http/2 support.
I don't know when it will officially be released but in near future will be upgrading to.
It shouldn't affect your website mush as it mainly deals with ssl security which your website doesn't use. But the update to the http header could cause some weirdness with websites and phprat. I will not install this until it is ready. There have been reports of websites working then not and then again. So sounds like an intermittent issue going on. It is nice that they are finally bringing it into the 2020s. This protocal was published on May 14th 2015. With a revision on February 2020 to use TLS 1.3 for secure websites.
CHANGES AND NEW FEATURES:
HTTP/2
Enabled the HTTP/2 protocol by default for all HTTPS hosts: Any HTTPS or HTTP+HTTPS host you already have will immediately support HTTP/2 without any extra-configuration.
Added configuration options to control HTTP/2 support globally or per-host: HTTP/2 can be disabled and can be restricted to a certain group of virtual paths.
Added HTTP/2 specific CGI variables: HTTP2, H2_STREAM_ID, H2_STREAM_TAG
Server Core
Made HTTP headers processing more strict to avoid a large class of issue related with HTTP/2 to HTTP/1.1 downgrading in the reverse-proxy
Windows specific changes
Improved memory contention speed on Windows
macOS specific changes
Added native support for the recent ARM-based Macintosh computers (powered by M1 chips)
Fixed bug with the XPC component on macOS 10.11 and earlier

Re: Abyss Web Server Upgrade coming 2.16
Well they released the new version of the web server. However I am going to wait a couple of weeks to see what comes of it. There was one report of all the websites going down after 40 minutes and then a reboot fixed it. I haven't heard of anymore complaints after that. So I am going to just sit on it.
