The auto/module script is extended to understand ngx_module_link=DYNAMIC.
When set, it links the module as a shared object rather than statically
into nginx binary. The module can later be loaded using the "load_module"
directive.
New auto/module parameter ngx_module_order allows to define module loading
order in complex cases. By default the order is set based on ngx_module_type.
3rd party modules can be compiled dynamically using the --add-dynamic-module
configure option, which will preset ngx_module_link to "DYNAMIC" before
calling the module config script.
Win32 support is rudimentary, and only works when using MinGW gcc (which
is able to handle exports/imports automatically).
In collaboration with Ruslan Ermilov.
*) Security: nginx now checks URI got from a backend in
"X-Accel-Redirect" header line or in SSI file for the "/../" paths
and zeroes.
*) Change: nginx now does not treat the empty user name in the
"Authorization" header line as valid one.
*) Feature: the "ssl_session_timeout" directives of the
ngx_http_ssl_module and ngx_imap_ssl_module.
*) Feature: the "auth_http_header" directive of the
ngx_imap_auth_http_module.
*) Feature: the "add_header" directive.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_realip_module.
*) Feature: the new variables to use in the "log_format" directive:
$bytes_sent, $apache_bytes_sent, $status, $time_gmt, $uri,
$request_time, $request_length, $upstream_status,
$upstream_response_time, $gzip_ratio, $uid_got, $uid_set,
$connection, $pipe, and $msec. The parameters in the "%name" form
will be canceled soon.
*) Change: now the false variable values in the "if" directive are the
empty string "" and string starting with "0".
*) Bugfix: while using proxied or FastCGI-server nginx may leave
connections and temporary files with client requests in open state.
*) Bugfix: the worker processes did not flush the buffered logs on
graceful exit.
*) Bugfix: if the request URI was changes by the "rewrite" directive
and the request was proxied in location given by regular expression,
then the incorrect request was transferred to backend; the bug had
appeared in 0.2.6.
*) Bugfix: the "expires" directive did not remove the previous
"Expires" header.
*) Bugfix: nginx may stop to accept requests if the "rtsig" method and
several worker processes were used.
*) Bugfix: the "\"" and "\'" escape symbols were incorrectly handled in
SSI commands.
*) Bugfix: if the response was ended just after the SSI command and
gzipping was used, then the response did not transferred complete or
did not transferred at all.
*) Feature: the Sun Studio 10 C compiler support.
*) Feature: the "proxy_upstream_max_fails",
"proxy_upstream_fail_timeout", "fastcgi_upstream_max_fails", and
"fastcgi_upstream_fail_timeout" directives.
*) Bugfix: nginx could not be built with the --without-pcre parameter;
the bug had appeared in 0.1.29.
*) Bugfix: 3, 4, 7, and 8 the "proxy_set_header" directives in one
level cause the bus fault on start up.
*) Bugfix: the HTTP protocol was specified in the HTTPS redirects.
*) Bugfix: if the "rewrite" directive used the captures inside the "if"
directive, then the 500 error code was returned.
*) Bugfix: the arguments were omitted in the redirects, issued by the
"rewrite" directive; the bug had appeared in 0.1.29.
*) Feature: the "if" directive supports the captures in regular
expressions.
*) Feature: the "set" directive supports the variables and the captures
of regular expressions.
*) Feature: the "X-Accel-Redirect" response header line is supported in
proxy and FastCGI mode.
*) Workaround: the default values of the devpoll_events and the
devpoll_changes directives changed from 512 to 32 to be compatible
with Solaris 10.
*) Bugfix: the proxy_set_x_var and fastcgi_set_var directives were not
inherited.
*) Bugfix: in the redirect rewrite directive the arguments were
concatenated with URI by the "&" rather than the "?".
*) Bugfix: the lines without trailing ";" in the file being included by
the ngx_http_geo_module were silently ignored.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_stub_status_module.
*) Bugfix: the unknown log format in the access_log directive caused
the segmentation fault.
*) Feature: the new "document_root" parameter of the fastcgi_params
directive.
*) Feature: the fastcgi_redirect_errors directive.
*) Feature: the new "break" modifier of the "rewrite" directive allows
to stop the rewrite/location cycle and sets the current
configuration to the request.
*) Bugfix: the proxied request was sent without arguments if the
request contains "//", "/./", "/../" or "%XX".
*) Bugfix: the large compressed responses may be transferred not
completely.
*) Bugfix: the files bigger than 2G was not transferred on Linux that
does not support sendfile64().
*) Bugfix: while the build configuration on Linux the
--with-poll_module parameter was required; the bug had appeared in
0.1.8.
*) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_autoindex_module if the long file names were
in the listing.
*) Feature: the "^~" modifier in the location directive.
*) Feature: the proxy_max_temp_file_size directive.
*) 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 --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.
