*) Change: the ngx_http_rewrite_module was rewritten from the scratch.
Now it is possible to redirect, to return the error codes, to check
the variables and referrers. The directives can be used inside
locations. The redirect directive was canceled.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_geo_module.
*) Feature: the proxy_set_x_var and fastcgi_set_var directives.
*) Bugfix: the location configuration with "=" modifier may be used in
another location.
*) Bugfix: the correct content type was set only for requests that use
small caps letters in extension.
*) Bugfix: if the proxy_pass or fastcgi_pass directives were set in the
location, and access was denied, and the error was redirected to a
static page, then the segmentation fault occurred.
*) Bugfix: if in a proxied "Location" header was a relative URL, then a
host name and a slash were added to them; the bug had appeared in
0.1.14.
*) Bugfix: the system error message was not logged on Linux.
*) Bugfix: if the response were transferred by chunks, then on the HEAD
request the final chunk was issued.
*) Bugfix: the "Connection: keep-alive" header were issued, even if the
keepalive_timeout directive forbade the keep-alive use.
*) Bugfix: the errors in the ngx_http_fastcgi_module caused the
segmentation faults.
*) Bugfix: the compressed response encrypted by SSL may not transferred
complete.
*) Bugfix: the TCP-specific TCP_NODELAY, TCP_NOPSUH, and TCP_CORK
options, are not used for the unix domain sockets.
*) Feature: the rewrite directive supports the arguments rewriting.
*) Bugfix: the response code 400 was returned for the POST request with
the "Content-Length: 0" header; the bug had appeared in 0.1.14.
*) Feature: the autoconfiguration directives:
--http-client-body-temp-path=PATH, --http-proxy-temp-path=PATH, and
--http-fastcgi-temp-path=PATH
*) Change: the directory name for the temporary files with the client
request body is specified by directive client_body_temp_path, by
default it is <prefix>/client_body_temp.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_fastcgi_module and the directives:
fastcgi_pass, fastcgi_root, fastcgi_index, fastcgi_params,
fastcgi_connect_timeout, fastcgi_send_timeout, fastcgi_read_timeout,
fastcgi_send_lowat, fastcgi_header_buffer_size, fastcgi_buffers,
fastcgi_busy_buffers_size, fastcgi_temp_path,
fastcgi_max_temp_file_size, fastcgi_temp_file_write_size,
fastcgi_next_upstream, and fastcgi_x_powered_by.
*) Bugfix: the "[alert] zero size buf" error; the bug had appeared in
0.1.3.
*) Change: the URI must be specified after the host name in the
proxy_pass directive.
*) Change: the %3F symbol in the URI was considered as the argument
string start.
*) Feature: the unix domain sockets support in the
ngx_http_proxy_module.
*) Feature: the ssl_engine and ssl_ciphers directives.
Thanks to Sergey Skvortsov for SSL-accelerator.
*) Feature: the server_names_hash and server_names_hash_threshold
directives.
*) Bugfix: the *.domain.tld names in the "server_name" directive did
not work.
*) Bugfix: the %request_length log parameter logged the incorrect
length.
*) Bugfix: on Solaris and Linux there may be too many "recvmsg()
returned not enough data" alerts.
*) Bugfix: there were the "writev() failed (22: Invalid argument)"
errors on Solaris in proxy mode without sendfile. On other platforms
that do not support sendfile at all the process got caught in an
endless loop.
*) Bugfix: segmentation fault on Solaris in proxy mode and using
sendfile.
*) Bugfix: segmentation fault on Solaris.
*) Bugfix: on-line upgrade did not work on Linux.
*) Bugfix: the ngx_http_autoindex_module module did not escape the
spaces, the quotes, and the percent signs in the directory listing.
*) Change: the decrease of the copy operations.
*) Feature: the userid_p3p directive.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_autoindex_module and the autoindex directive.
*) Feature: the proxy_set_x_url directive.
*) Bugfix: proxy module may get caught in an endless loop when sendfile
is not used.
*) Feature: the --user=USER, --group=GROUP, and --with-ld-opt=OPTIONS
options in configure.
*) Feature: the server_name directive supports *.domain.tld.
*) Bugfix: the portability improvements.
*) Bugfix: if configuration file was set in command line, the
reconfiguration was impossible; the bug had appeared in 0.1.1.
*) Bugfix: proxy module may get caught in an endless loop when sendfile
is not used.
*) Bugfix: with sendfile the response was not recoded according to the
charset module directives; the bug had appeared in 0.1.1.
*) Bugfix: very seldom bug in the kqueue processing.
*) Bugfix: the gzip module compressed the proxied responses that was
already compressed.
*) Feature: the gzip_types directive.
*) Feature: the tcp_nodelay directive.
*) Feature: the send_lowat directive is working not only on OSes that
support kqueue NOTE_LOWAT, but also on OSes that support SO_SNDLOWAT.
*) Feature: the setproctitle() emulation for Linux and Solaris.
*) Bugfix: the "Location" header rewrite bug fixed while the proxying.
*) Bugfix: the ngx_http_chunked_module module may get caught in an
endless loop.
*) Bugfix: the /dev/poll module bugs fixed.
*) Bugfix: the responses were corrupted when the temporary files were
used while the proxying.
*) Bugfix: the unescaped requests were passed to the backend.
*) Bugfix: while the build configuration on Linux 2.4 the
--with-poll_module parameter was required.
