The following configuration with alias, nested location and try_files
resulted in wrong file being used. Request "/foo/test.gif" tried to
use "/tmp//foo/test.gif" instead of "/tmp/test.gif":
location /foo/ {
alias /tmp/;
location ~ gif {
try_files $uri =405;
}
}
Additionally, rev. c985d90a8d1f introduced a regression if
the "/tmp//foo/test.gif" file was found (ticket #768). Resulting URI
was set to "gif?/foo/test.gif", as the code used clcf->name of current
location ("location ~ gif") instead of parent one ("location /foo/").
Fix is to use r->uri instead of clcf->name in all cases in the
ngx_http_core_try_files_phase() function. It is expected to be
already matched and identical to the clcf->name of the right
location.
If alias was used in a location given by a regular expression,
nginx used to do wrong thing in try_files if a location name (i.e.,
regular expression) was an exact prefix of URI. The following
configuration triggered a segmentation fault on a request to "/mail":
location ~ /mail {
alias /path/to/directory;
try_files $uri =404;
}

Iterating through all connections takes a lot of CPU time, especially
with large number of worker connections configured. As a result
nginx processes used to consume CPU time during graceful shutdown.
To mitigate this we now only do a full scan for idle connections when
shutdown signal is received.
Transitions of connections to idle ones are now expected to be
avoided if the ngx_exiting flag is set. The upstream keepalive module
was modified to follow this.
If nginx was used under OpenVZ and a container with nginx was suspended
and resumed, configuration tests started to fail because of EADDRINUSE
returned from listen() instead of bind():
# nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: [emerg] listen() to 0.0.0.0:80, backlog 511 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
With this change EADDRINUSE errors returned by listen() are handled
similarly to errors returned by bind(), and configuration tests work
fine in the same environment:
# nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

OCSP responses may contain no nextUpdate. As per RFC 6960, this means
that nextUpdate checks should be bypassed. Handle this gracefully by
using NGX_MAX_TIME_T_VALUE as "valid" in such a case.
The problem was introduced by 6893a1007a7c (1.9.2).
Reported by Matthew Baldwin.
Broken by 6893a1007a7c (1.9.2) during introduction of strict OCSP response
validity checks. As stapling file is expected to be returned unconditionally,
fix is to set its validity to the maximum supported time.
Reported by Faidon Liambotis.
Once upstream is connected, the upstream buffer is allocated. Previously, the
proxy module used the buffer allocation status to check if upstream is
connected. Now it's enough to check the flag.
If the -T option is passed, additionally to configuration test, configuration
files are output to stdout.
In the debug mode, configuration files are kept in memory and can be accessed
using a debugger.
The function is now called ngx_parse_http_time(), and can be used by
any code to parse HTTP-style date and time. In particular, it will be
used for OCSP stapling.
For compatibility, a macro to map ngx_http_parse_time() to the new name
provided for a while.
