 Ah, yes... I ran into this same issue because I had originally set up
Varnish on a test Ubuntu workstation and just installed the package from the
repository, which happened to be v.2.0.3. I had my config all dialed in and
working there, and then built a new box with CentOS and installed the 2.1
RPM from sourceforge. When I copied my "working" config over and tried to
start varnishd, it just "died". No error message. Nothing. Took me a good
chunk of time of debugging before I finally ran across the note in the
changelog and was like "ah ha!".
It would be nice if:
a) There was some syntax checking on startup that would tell you that obj is
not valid in vcl_fetch (anymore).
b) Put a note on WIKI pages that have "example" configs that will only work
on 2.0.
(I'll volunteer for b if someone wants to send me the code to edit wiki).
