At least Sun Studio 12 has problems with bit-fields exposed by nginx code
(caught by test suite). They seems to be fixed in Sun Studio 12.1. As a
workaround use "-fast -xalias_level=any" for older versions, it resolves
the problem.
*) 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.
*) Change: now the ngx_http_charset_module works for subrequests, if
the response has no "Content-Type" header line.
*) Bugfix: if the "proxy_pass" directive has no URI part, then the
"proxy_redirect default" directive add the unnecessary slash in
start of the rewritten redirect.
*) Bugfix: the internal redirect always transform client's HTTP method
to GET, now the transformation is made for the "X-Accel-Redirect"
redirects only and if the method is not HEAD; the bug had appeared
in 0.3.42.
*) Bugfix: the ngx_http_perl_module could not be built, if the perl was
built with the threads support; the bug had appeared in 0.3.46.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_dav_module.
*) Change: the ngx_http_perl_module optimizations.
Thanks to Sergey Skvortsov.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_perl_module supports the $r->request_body_file
method.
*) Feature: the "client_body_in_file_only" directive.
*) Workaround: now on disk overflow nginx tries to write access logs
once a second only.
Thanks to Anton Yuzhaninov and Maxim Dounin.
*) Bugfix: now the "limit_rate" directive more precisely limits rate if
rate is more than 100 Kbyte/s.
Thanks to ForJest.
*) Bugfix: now the IMAP/POP3 proxy escapes the "\r" and "\n" symbols in
login and password to pass authorization server.
Thanks to Maxim Dounin.
*) Feature: the "limit_except" directive.
*) Feature: the "if" directive supports the "!~", "!~*", "-f", and
"!-f" operators.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_perl_module supports the $r->request_body
method.
*) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_addition_filter_module.
*) 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.
*) Bugfix: the "X-Accel-Limit-Rate" header line was not taken into
account if the request was redirected using the "X-Accel-Redirect"
header line.
*) Bugfix: the "post_action" directive ran only after a successful
completion of a request.
*) Bugfix: the proxied response body generated by the "post_action"
directive was transferred to a client.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_perl_module supports the $r->args and
$r->unescape methods.
*) Feature: the method $r->query_string of ngx_http_perl_module was
canceled.
*) Bugfix: segmentation fault was occurred if the "none" or "blocked"
values was specified in the "valid_referers" directive; the bug had
appeared in 0.3.18.
*) Feature: the "path" and "alias" directives support the variables.
*) Change: now the "valid_referers" directive again checks the URI part.
*) Bugfix: in SSI handling.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_map_module.
*) Feature: the "types_hash_max_size" and "types_hash_bucket_size"
directives.
*) Feature: the "ssi_value_length" directive.
*) Feature: the "worker_rlimit_core" directive.
*) Workaround: the connection number in logs was always 1 if nginx was
built by the icc 8.1 or 9.0 compilers with optimization for
Pentium 4.
*) Bugfix: the "config timefmt" SSI command set incorrect time format.
*) Bugfix: nginx did not close connection to IMAP/POP3 backend for the
SSL connections; the bug had appeared in 0.3.13.
Thanks to Rob Mueller.
*) Bugfix: segmentation fault may occurred in at SSL shutdown; the bug
had appeared in 0.3.13.
*) Feature: the IMAP/POP3 proxy supports STARTTLS and STLS.
*) Bugfix: the IMAP/POP3 proxy did not work with the select, poll, and
/dev/poll methods.
*) Bugfix: in SSI handling.
*) Bugfix: now Solaris sendfilev() is not used to transfer the client
request body to FastCGI-server via the unix domain socket.
*) Bugfix: the "auth_basic" directive did not disable the
authorization; the bug had appeared in 0.3.11.
