Previous workaround to avoid warnings on OS X due to deprecated system
OpenSSL library (introduced in a3870ea96ccd) no longer works, as
the MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED macro is ignored on OS X 10.9
if a compiler used supports __attribute__(availability).
*) Change in internal API: the HTTP modules initialization was moved
from the init module phase to the HTTP postconfiguration phase.
*) Change: now the request body is not read beforehand for the
ngx_http_perl_module: it's required to start the reading using the
$r->has_request_body method.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_perl_module supports the DECLINED return code.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_dav_module supports the incoming "Date" header
line for the PUT method.
*) Feature: the "ssi" directive is available inside the "if" block.
*) Bugfix: a segmentation fault occurred if there was an "index"
directive with variables and the first index name was without
variables; the bug had appeared in 0.1.29.
*) Feature: the "restrict_host_names" directive was canceled.
*) Feature: the --with-cpu-opt=ppc64 configuration parameter.
*) Bugfix: on some condition the proxied connection with a client was
terminated prematurely.
Thanks to Vladimir Shutoff.

account if the request was redirected using the "X-Accel-Redirect"
header line.

completion of a request.
*) Bugfix: the proxied response body generated by the "post_action"
directive was transferred to a client.

*) Feature: the "types_hash_max_size" and "types_hash_bucket_size"
directives.

built by the icc 8.1 or 9.0 compilers with optimization for
Pentium 4.

SSL connections; the bug had appeared in 0.3.13.

"satisfy_any on" directive was used, then access and authorization
directives did not work. The ngx_http_realip_module was not built
and is not built by default.

line, then nginx returns the 411 error.
*) Bugfix: if the "auth_basic" directive was inherited from the http
level, then the realm in the "WWW-Authenticate" header line was
without the "Basic realm" text.
