Dates in ISO 8601 format are in line with what is used in nginx.org news,
and are generally less ambiguous and easier to work with.

With "proxy_ignore_client_abort off" (the default), upstream module changes
r->read_event_handler to ngx_http_upstream_rd_check_broken_connection().
If the handler is not cleared during upstream finalization, it can be
triggered later, causing unexpected effects, if, for example, a request
was redirected to a different location using error_page or X-Accel-Redirect.
In particular, it makes "proxy_ignore_client_abort on" non-working after
a redirection in a configuration like this:
location = / {
error_page 502 = /error;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8082;
}
location /error {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8083;
proxy_ignore_client_abort on;
}
It is also known to cause segmentation faults with aio used, see
http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-ru/2015-August/056570.html.
Fix is to explicitly set r->read_event_handler to ngx_http_block_reading()
during upstream finalization, similar to how it is done in the request body
reading code and in the limit_req module.
This allows to store larger ETag values for proxy_cache_revalidate,
including ones generated as SHA256, and cache responses with longer
Vary (ticket #826).
In particular, this fixes caching of Amazon S3 responses with CORS
enabled, which now use "Vary: Origin, Access-Control-Request-Headers,
Access-Control-Request-Method".
Cache version bumped accordingly.
Previously, slice subrequest location was selected based on request URI.
If request is then redirected to a new location, its context array is cleared,
making the slice module loose current slice range information. This lead to
broken output. Now subrequests with the NGX_HTTP_SUBREQUEST_CLONE flag are
created for slices. Such subrequests stay in the same location as the parent
request and keep the right slice context.
Previously, there was no way to enable the proxy_cache_use_stale behavior by
reading the backend response. Now, stale-while-revalidate and stale-if-error
Cache-Control extensions (RFC 5861) are supported. They specify, how long a
stale response can be used when a cache entry is being updated, or in case of
an error.
The function may leave error in the error queue while returning success,
e.g., when taking a DSO reference to itself as of OpenSSL 1.1.0d:
https://git.openssl.org/?p=openssl.git;a=commit;h=4af9f7f
Notably, this fixes alert seen with statically linked OpenSSL on some platforms.
While here, check OPENSSL_init_ssl() return value.
Previously, buffer size was not changed from the one saved during
initial ngx_ssl_create_connection(), even if the buffer itself was not
yet created. Fix is to change c->ssl->buffer_size in the SNI callback.
Note that it should be also possible to update buffer size even in non-SNI
virtual hosts as long as the buffer is not yet allocated. This looks
like an overcomplication though.
The ngx_event_pipe() function wasn't called on write events with
wev->delayed set. As a result, threaded writing results weren't
properly collected in ngx_event_pipe_write_to_downstream() when a
write event was triggered for a completed write.
Further, this wasn't detected, as p->aio was reset by a thread completion
handler, and results were later collected in ngx_event_pipe_read_upstream()
instead of scheduling a new write of additional data. If this happened
on the last reading from an upstream, last part of the response was never
written to the cache file.
Similar problems might also happen in case of timeouts when writing to
client, as this also results in ngx_event_pipe() not being called on write
events. In this scenario socket leaks were observed.
Fix is to check if p->writing is set in ngx_event_pipe_read_upstream(), and
therefore collect results of previous write operations in case of read events
as well, similar to how we do so in ngx_event_pipe_write_downstream().
This is enough to fix the wev->delayed case. Additionally, we now call
ngx_event_pipe() from ngx_http_upstream_process_request() if there are
uncollected write operations (p->writing and !p->aio). This also fixes
the wev->timedout case.
The ngx_chain_coalesce_file() function may produce more bytes to send then
requested in the limit passed, as it aligns the last file position
to send to memory page boundary. As a result, (limit - send) may become
negative. This resulted in big positive number when converted to size_t
while calling ngx_output_chain_to_iovec().
Another part of the problem is in ngx_chain_coalesce_file(): it changes cl
to the next chain link even if the current buffer is only partially sent
due to limit.
Therefore, if a file buffer was not expected to be fully sent due to limit,
and was followed by a memory buffer, nginx called sendfile() with a part
of the file buffer, and the memory buffer in trailer. If there were enough
room in the socket buffer, this resulted in a part of the file buffer being
skipped, and corresponding part of the memory buffer sent instead.
The bug was introduced in 8e903522c17a (1.7.8). Configurations affected
are ones using limits, that is, limit_rate and/or sendfile_max_chunk, and
memory buffers after file ones (may happen when using subrequests or
with proxying with disk buffering).
Fix is to explicitly check if (send < limit) before constructing trailer
with ngx_output_chain_to_iovec(). Additionally, ngx_chain_coalesce_file()
was modified to preserve unfinished file buffers in cl.
Closing up to 32 connections might be too aggressive if worker_connections
is set to a comparable number (and/or there are only a small number of
reusable connections). If an occasional connection shorage happens in
such a configuration, it leads to closing all reusable connections instead
of gradually reducing keepalive timeout to a smaller value. To improve
granularity in such configurations we now close no more than 1/8 of all
reusable connections at once.
Suggested by Joel Cunningham.
A missing check could cause ngx_stream_ssl_handler() to be applied
to a non-ssl session, which resulted in a null pointer dereference
if ssl_verify_client is enabled.
The bug had appeared in 1.11.8 (41cb1b64561d).
Previously, an unavailable peer was considered recovered after a successful
proxy session to this peer. Until then, only a single client connection per
fail_timeout was allowed to be proxied to the peer.
Since stream sessions can be long, it may take indefinite time for a peer to
recover, limiting the ability of the peer to receive new connections.
Now, a peer is considered recovered after a successful TCP connection is
established to it. Balancers are notified of this event via the notify()
callback.
OpenSSL 1.1.0 now uses normal "nmake; nmake install" instead of using
custom "ms\do_ms.bat" script and "ms\nt.mak" makefile. And Configure
now requires --prefix to be absolute, and no longer derives --openssldir
from prefix (so it's specified explicitly). Generated libraries are now
called "libcrypto.lib" and "libssl.lib" instead of "libeay32.lib"
and "ssleay32.lib". Appropriate tests added to support both old and new
variants.
Additionally, openssl/lhash.h now triggers warning C4090 ('function' :
different 'const' qualifiers), so the warning was disabled.
There are lots of C4244 warnings (conversion from 'type1' to 'type2',
possible loss of data), so they were disabled.
The same applies to C4267 warnings (conversion from 'size_t' to 'type',
possible loss of data), most notably - conversion from ngx_str_t.len to
ngx_variable_value_t.len (which is unsigned:28). Additionally, there
is at least one case when it is not possible to fix the warning properly
without introducing win32-specific code: recv() on win32 uses "int len",
while POSIX defines "size_t len".
The ssize_t type now properly defined for 64-bit compilation with MSVC.
Caught by warning C4305 (truncation from '__int64' to 'ssize_t'), on
"cutoff = NGX_MAX_SIZE_T_VALUE / 10" in ngx_atosz()).
Several C4334 warnings (result of 32-bit shift implicitly converted to 64 bits)
were fixed by adding explicit conversions.
Several C4214 warnings (nonstandard extension used: bit field types other
than int) in ngx_http_script.h fixed by changing bit field types from
uintptr_t to unsigned.
Most notably, warning W8012 (comparing signed and unsigned values) reported
in multiple places where an unsigned value of small type (e.g., u_short) is
promoted to an int and compared to an unsigned value.
Warning W8072 (suspicious pointer arithmetic) disabled, it is reported
when we increment base pointer in ngx_shm_alloc().
These types are available with MSVC (at least since 2003, in stddef.h),
all variants of GCC (in stdint.h) and Watcom C. We need to define them
only for Borland C.
This allows to set a different one from command line when needed.
For example, to configure nginx with gcc as a compiler one could
use "make -f misc/GNUmakefile win32 CC=gcc".
This implies ticket key size of 80 bytes instead of previously used 48,
as both HMAC and AES keys are 32 bytes now. When an old 48-byte ticket key
is provided, we fall back to using backward-compatible AES128 encryption.
OpenSSL switched to using AES256 in 1.1.0, and we are providing equivalent
security. While here, order of HMAC and AES keys was reverted to make
the implementation compatible with keys used by OpenSSL with
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_ticket_keys().
