Now we always set NGX_CC_NAME to "msvc", and additionally test compiler
version as reported by "cl" in auto/cc/msvc (the same version is also
available via the _MSC_VER define). In particular, this approach allows
to properly check for C99 variadic macros support, which previously was
not used with MSVC versions not explicitly recognized.
Now unneeded wildcards in NGX_CC_NAME tests for msvc removed accordingly,
as well as unused wildcards for owc and icc.
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.
*) 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.

rate is more than 100 Kbyte/s.

$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.

empty string "" and string starting with "0".

connections and temporary files with client requests in open state.

graceful exit.
