It is a real pleasure to see that NaviServer is actively developed!

Should the statement "Fix ns_set management of headers (which was broken since the introduction of the leftover management when requests are pipelined in 4.99.11). The problem was that the "static" ns_set for headers is was freed to early in the pipelined case." be read as "Users of NaviServer 4.99.11 should update asap to 4.99.12", or is the bug mainly affecting niche cases?

it is rather the latter. Most major browser have pipelining deactivated per default. On OpenACS.org there are per day 10-100 pipelined requests out of 50k requests, and these requests are typically for embedded resources, where the "static" ns_sets are not used (on sites with aolserver or earlier versions of naviserver the pipelined requests are ignored).

But other sites might have different requirements and well maintained sites should strive for the newest release.

all the best from greece.
