*) Fixed the NGX_SOCKADDR_STRLEN macro definition.
The ngx_sock_ntop() function, when told to print both address and port,
prints IPv6 address in square brackets, followed by colon and port.
*) Properly initialize "struct in6_addr" with zeroes.
This will result in alphabetical sorting of included files if
the "include" directive with wildcards is used.
Note that the behaviour is now different from that on Windows, where
alphabetical sorting is not guaranteed for FindFirsFile()/FindNextFile()
(used to be alphabetical on NTFS, but not on FAT).
Approved by Igor Sysoev, prodded by many.
*) Request body: fixed "501 Not Implemented" error handling.
It is not about "Method" but a generic message, and is expected to be used
e.g. if specified Transfer-Encoding is not supported. Fixed message to
match RFC 2616.
Additionally, disable keepalive on such errors as we won't be able to read
request body correctly if we don't understand Transfer-Encoding used.
*) Request body: $request_body variable generalization.
The $request_body variable was assuming there can't be more than two
buffers. While this is currently true due to request body reading
implementation details, this is not a good thing to depend on and may
change in the future.
*) Request body: code duplication reduced, no functional changes.
The r->request_body_in_file_only with empty body case is now handled in
ngx_http_write_request_body().
*) Request body: fixed socket leak on errors.
The r->main->count reference counter was always incremented in
ngx_http_read_client_request_body(), while it is only needs to be
incremented on positive returns.
*) Request body: properly handle events while discarding body.
An attempt to call ngx_handle_read_event() before actually reading
data from a socket might result in read event being disabled, which is
wrong. Catched by body.t test on Solaris.
*) Fixed location of debug message in ngx_shmtx_lock().
*) Core: don't reuse shared memory zone that changed ownership (ticket #210).
nginx doesn't allow the same shared memory zone to be used for different
purposes, but failed to check this on reconfiguration. If a shared memory
zone was used for another purpose in the new configuration, nginx attempted
to reuse it and crashed.
*) Core: added debug logging of writev() in ngx_write_chain_to_file().
*) Core: fixed ngx_write_chain_to_file() with IOV_MAX reached.
Catched by dav_chunked.t on Solaris. In released versions this might
potentially result in corruption of complex protocol responses if they
were written to disk and there were more distinct buffers than IOV_MAX
in a single write.
Dav: fixed segfault on PUT if body was already read (ticket #238).
If request body reading happens with different options it's possible
that there will be no r->request_body->temp_file available (or even
no r->request_body available if body was discarded). Return internal
server error in this case instead of committing suicide by dereferencing
a null pointer.
*) Upstream: honor the "down" flag for a single server.
If an upstream block was defined with the only server marked as
"down", e.g.
upstream u {
server 127.0.0.1:8080 down;
}
an attempt was made to contact the server despite the "down" flag.
It is believed that immediate 502 response is better in such a
case, and it's also consistent with what is currently done in case
of multiple servers all marked as "down".
*) Upstream: better detection of connect() failures with kqueue.
Pending EOF might be reported on both read and write events, whichever
comes first, so check both of them.
Patch by Yichun Zhang (agentzh), slightly modified.
Input filter might free a buffer if there is no data in it, and in case
of first buffer (used for cache header and request header, aka p->buf_to_file)
this resulted in cache corruption. Buffer memory was reused to read upstream
response before headers were written to disk.
Fix is to avoid moving pointers in ngx_event_pipe_add_free_buf() to a buffer
start if we were asked to free a buffer used by p->buf_to_file.
This fixes occasional cache file corruption, usually resulted
in "cache file ... has md5 collision" alerts.
Reported by Anatoli Marinov.
The ngx_http_keepalive_handler() function is now trying to not
keep c->buffer's memory for idle connections.
This behaviour is consistent with the ngx_http_set_keepalive()
function and it should decrease memory usage in some cases (especially
if epoll/rtsig is used).
Core: the "auto" parameter of the "worker_processes" directive.
The parameter will set the number of worker processes to the
autodetected number of available CPU cores.
*) Log: $apache_bytes_sent removed. It was renamed to $body_bytes_sent
in nginx 0.3.10 and the old name is deprecated since then.
*) Variable $bytes_sent. It replicates variable $bytes_sent as previously
available in log module only. Patch by Benjamin Grössing (with minor
changes).
*) Variables $connection and $connection_requests. Log module
counterparts are removed as they aren't used often and there is no
need to preserve them for efficiency.
SSL: the "ssl_verify_client" directive parameter "optional_no_ca".
This parameter allows to don't require certificate to be signed by
a trusted CA, e.g. if CA certificate isn't known in advance, like in
WebID protocol.
Note that it doesn't add any security unless the certificate is actually
checked to be trusted by some external means (e.g. by a backend).
Patch by Mike Kazantsev, Eric O'Connor.
Resolver: cached addresses are returned with random rotation now.
This ensures balancing when working with dynamically resolved upstream
servers with multiple addresses.
Based on patch by Anton Jouline.
*) Made sure to initialize the entire ngx_file_t structure.
Found by Coverity.
*) Correct plural form for "path" in the whole source base.
*) Removed conditional compilation from waitpid() error test.
There are reports that call to a signal handler for an exited process
despite waitpid() already called for the process may happen on Linux
as well.
*) Style, parentheses instead of braces in misc/GNUMakefile.
*) SSL: fixed compression workaround to remove all methods.
Previous code used sk_SSL_COMP_delete(ssl_comp_methods, i) while iterating
stack from 0 to n, resulting in removal of only even compression methods.
In real life this change is a nop, as there is only one compression method
which is enabled by default in OpenSSL.
*) SSL: added version checks for ssl compression workaround.
The SSL_COMP_get_compression_methods() is only available as an API
function in OpenSSL 0.9.8+, require it explicitly to unbreak build
with OpenSSL 0.9.7.
*) Configure: help updated to list upstream keepalive and least_conn.
Patch by Joshua Zhu.
*) Configure: additional test for ExtUtils::Embed perl module presence.
Now perl configure will correctly fail if ExtUtils::Embed perl module
is not present in the system (found on Amazon Linux AMI, as of
release 2012.03).
This fixes unwanted/incorrect cpu_affinity use on dead worker processes
respawn. While this is not ideal, it's expected to be better when previous
situation where multiple processes were spawn with identical CPU affinity
set.
Reported by Charles Chen.
Limit req: fix of rbtree node insertion on hash collisions.
The rbtree used in ngx_http_limit_req_module has two level of keys, the top is
hash, and the next is the value string itself. However, when inserting a new
node, only hash has been set, while the value string has been left empty.
The bug was introduced in r4419 (1.1.14).
Found by Charles Chen.
The "include" directive should be able to include multiple files if
given a filename mask. Fixed this to work for "include" directives
inside the "map" or "types" blocks. The "include" directive inside
the "geo" block is still not fixed.
Previous code incorrectly used ctx->var_values as an array of pointers to
ngx_http_variable_value_t, but the array contains structures, not pointers.
Additionally, ctx->var_values inspection failed to properly set var on
match.
*) Corrected the directive name in the ngx_mail_auth_http_module
error message.
*) Don't let the well-known port in the "listen" directive to
override the already set "protocol".
*) Fixed sorting of listen addresses (ticket #187). For http module
this problem was already fixed in r4756.
*) Removed a stale "AF_INET only" comment. IPv6 client connections
in mail modules have been supported since r2856.
*) Fixed handling of AF_UNIX addresses in "listen". This makes AF_UNIX
addresses in mail officially supported.
*) Whitespace fix.
*) Resolver: fixed possible memory leak in ngx_resolver_create().
*) Explicitly ignore returned value from unlink() in ngx_open_tempfile().
*) Explicitly ignore returned value from close() in ngx_event_core_init_conf().
*) Added three missing checks for NULL after ngx_array_push() calls.
*) Crypt: fixed handling of corrupted SSHA entries in password file.
*) Mark logically dead code with corresponding comment.
Found by / prodded by Coverity.
Configure: fixed make macros to use parentheses instead of braces.
Parentheses are more portable, in particular they are understood by
nmake while braces aren't.
*) Fixed build with Visual Studio 2005 Express.
It is available via winetricks which makes it still usable, and has
an old crtdefs.h which uses _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE instead of
_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS to suppress warnings.
Reported by HAYASHI Kentaro,

*) Configure: provide inflate() when building zlib on win32.
*) Helper target "win32" to run configure for win32 builds.
*) Updated zlib used for win32 builds.
*) Reorder checks in ngx_shared_memory_add() for more consistent
error messages.
*) Added "const" to ngx_memcpy() with NGX_MEMCPY_LIMIT defined. This
fixes warning produced during compilation of the ngx_http_geoip_module
due to const qualifier being discarded.
*) Fixed possible use of old cached times if runtime went backwards.
If ngx_time_sigsafe_update() updated only ngx_cached_err_log_time, and
then clock was adjusted backwards, the cached_time[slot].sec might
accidentally match current seconds on next ngx_time_update() call,
resulting in various cached times not being updated.
Fix is to clear the cached_time[slot].sec to explicitly mark cached times
are stale and need updating.
*) Radix tree preallocation fix. The preallocation size was calculated
incorrectly and was always 8 due to sizeof(ngx_radix_tree_t) accidentally
used instead of sizeof(ngx_radix_node_t).
*) Fixed overflow if ngx_slab_alloc() is called with very big "size"
argument.
*) Write filter: replaced unneeded loop with one to free chains.
Noted by Gabor Lekeny.
*) Simplified makefile that builds CHANGES.
*) Removed the need in Perl to generate ZIP archive of nginx/Windows.
*) Converted DOS-style newlines in dump.xslt.
*) Pass changes.xml thru xmllint when generating CHANGES and CHANGES.ru.
