This beat is now ready to have Fedora 25 content added by the beat writer

Varnish

Varnish was updated to 2.1.3. The main changes are:

   * The scalability of critbit, the default hashing method, has been improved
   * A bug in varnishd would in some cases confuse varnishncsa leading to lost or wrong log lines.
   * Some bugs in the handling of Range requests has been fixed. This only matters if you enable Range support.
   * Add «log» command to VCL which will log to the Varnish log.
