  • new PAGE project = page event, triggered on every page change or reload
  • new $HAMASTER$ built-in variable, is set to 1 when master mode or HA not configured, or 0 when slave mode
  • new HAACTIVE persistent event, is true when the server is active (see the high availability features)
  • new HAACTIVE = [true | false] action, set to false to force a master to become inactive (has no effect on the slave system)
