The most important change is local redirects being disabled by default.
There is an option called cgi.local-redir that allows enabling this
optimization manually back if needed.
Local redirects were initially introduced in 1.4.40 but caused many
problems for *some* web services.
One of problems is breaking Post/Redirect/Get design pattern. With
redirects handled on server side there is no browser redirection making
it "lose" the POST data.
Another possible issue are HTML forms with action="". With CGI local
redirects browser may be sending form data to the wrong URL (the one
that was supposed to redirect the browser).

This fixes upstream regression introduced in 1.4.40. It was reported &
debugged in https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/2793
This fix is queued for 1.4.46 in the personal/gstrauss/master upstream
branch.

Update to 1.4.42 introduced a problem with starting lighttpd as
OpenWrt/LEDE service. It was stopping whole init process at sth like:
783 root 1124 S {S50lighttpd} /bin/sh /etc/rc.common /etc/rc.d/S50lighttpd boot
799 root 1164 S /usr/sbin/lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
It was hanging until getting random pool:
[ 176.340007] random: nonblocking pool is initialized
and then immediately the rest of init process followed:
[ 176.423475] jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): End of filesystem marker found at 0x0
[ 176.430754] jffs2_build_filesystem(): unlocking the mtd device... done.
[ 176.437615] jffs2_build_filesystem(): erasing all blocks after the end marker... done.
This was fixed in 1.4.44, but bump directly to 1.4.45 while at it.

if running as non root user (what's should be the default on web-servers) you get:
(log.c.118) opening errorlog '/var/log/lighttpd/server.log' failed: Permission denied
Fix: create log directory only if not exist and chmod 777 to allow anyone
to write and create files inside default log directory
