address space layout randomization.
Thanks to Sergey Brester.
*) Feature: the "error_log" directive can now be used on mail and server
levels in mail proxy.
*) Bugfix: the "proxy_protocol" parameter of the "listen" directive did
not work if not specified in the first "listen" directive for a
listen socket.
Changes with nginx 1.7.12 07 Apr 2015
*) Feature: now the "tcp_nodelay" directive works with backend SSL

Changes with nginx 1.7.11 24 Mar 2015
*) Change: the "sendfile" parameter of the "aio" directive is
deprecated; now nginx automatically uses AIO to pre-load data for
sendfile if both "aio" and "sendfile" directives are used.
*) Feature: experimental thread pools support.
*) Feature: the "proxy_request_buffering", "fastcgi_request_buffering",
"scgi_request_buffering", and "uwsgi_request_buffering" directives.
*) Feature: request body filters experimental API.
*) Feature: client SSL certificates support in mail proxy.
Thanks to Sven Peter, Franck Levionnois, and Filipe Da Silva.
*) Feature: startup speedup when using the "hash ... consistent"
directive in the upstream block.
Thanks to Wai Keen Woon.
*) Feature: debug logging into a cyclic memory buffer.
*) Bugfix: in hash table handling.
Thanks to Chris West.
*) Bugfix: in the "proxy_cache_revalidate" directive.
*) Bugfix: SSL connections might hang if deferred accept or the
"proxy_protocol" parameter of the "listen" directive were used.
Thanks to James Hamlin.
*) Bugfix: the $upstream_response_time variable might contain a wrong
value if the "image_filter" directive was used.
*) Bugfix: in integer overflow handling.
Thanks to Régis Leroy.
*) Bugfix: it was not possible to enable SSLv3 with LibreSSL.
*) Bugfix: the "ignoring stale global SSL error ... called a function
you should not call" alerts appeared in logs when using LibreSSL.
*) Bugfix: certificates specified by the "ssl_client_certificate" and
"ssl_trusted_certificate" directives were inadvertently used to
automatically construct certificate chains.
Changes with nginx 1.7.10 10 Feb 2015
*) Feature: the "use_temp_path" parameter of the "proxy_cache_path",
"fastcgi_cache_path", "scgi_cache_path", and "uwsgi_cache_path"
directives.
*) Feature: the $upstream_header_time variable.
*) Workaround: now on disk overflow nginx tries to write error logs once
a second only.
*) Bugfix: the "try_files" directive did not ignore normal files while
testing directories.
Thanks to Damien Tournoud.
*) Bugfix: alerts "sendfile() failed" if the "sendfile" directive was
used on OS X; the bug had appeared in 1.7.8.
*) Bugfix: alerts "sem_post() failed" might appear in logs.

Thanks to James Taylor.
*) Bugfix: nginx could not be built on Tru64 UNIX.
Thanks to Goetz T. Fischer.

engines.

and 206 status codes.
Thanks to Piotr Sikora.
*) Bugfix: the "TE" client request header line was passed to backends
while proxying.
*) Bugfix: the "proxy_pass", "fastcgi_pass", "scgi_pass", and
"uwsgi_pass" directives might not work correctly inside the "if" and
"limit_except" blocks.
*) Bugfix: the "proxy_store" directive with the "on" parameter was
ignored if the "proxy_store" directive with an explicitly specified
file path was used on a previous level.
*) Bugfix: nginx could not be built with BoringSSL.
Thanks to Lukas Tribus.
Changes with nginx 1.7.8 02 Dec 2014
*) Change: now the "If-Modified-Since", "If-Range", etc. client request
header lines are passed to a backend while caching if nginx knows in
advance that the response will not be cached (e.g., when using
proxy_cache_min_uses).
*) Change: now after proxy_cache_lock_timeout nginx sends a request to a
backend with caching disabled; the new directives
"proxy_cache_lock_age", "fastcgi_cache_lock_age",
"scgi_cache_lock_age", and "uwsgi_cache_lock_age" specify a time
after which the lock will be released and another attempt to cache a
response will be made.
*) Change: the "log_format" directive can now be used only at http
level.
*) Feature: the "proxy_ssl_certificate", "proxy_ssl_certificate_key",
"proxy_ssl_password_file", "uwsgi_ssl_certificate",
"uwsgi_ssl_certificate_key", and "uwsgi_ssl_password_file"
directives.
Thanks to Piotr Sikora.

"X-Accel-Redirect".

Thanks to Piotr Sikora.
*) Bugfix: in the "ssl_password_file" directive when using OpenSSL
0.9.8zc, 1.0.0o, 1.0.1j.
*) Bugfix: alerts "header already sent" appeared in logs if the
"post_action" directive was used; the bug had appeared in 1.5.4.
*) Bugfix: alerts "the http output chain is empty" might appear in logs
if the "postpone_output 0" directive was used with SSI includes.
*) Bugfix: in the "proxy_cache_lock" directive with SSI subrequests.
Thanks to Yichun Zhang.
Changes with nginx 1.7.7 28 Oct 2014
*) Change: now nginx takes into account the "Vary" header line in a
backend response while caching.
*) Feature: the "proxy_force_ranges", "fastcgi_force_ranges",
"scgi_force_ranges", and "uwsgi_force_ranges" directives.
*) Feature: the "proxy_limit_rate", "fastcgi_limit_rate",
"scgi_limit_rate", and "uwsgi_limit_rate" directives.
*) Feature: the "Vary" parameter of the "proxy_ignore_headers",
"fastcgi_ignore_headers", "scgi_ignore_headers", and
"uwsgi_ignore_headers" directives.
*) Bugfix: the last part of a response received from a backend with
unbufferred proxy might not be sent to a client if "gzip" or "gunzip"
directives were used.

Thanks to Piotr Sikora.
*) Bugfix: in error handling.
Thanks to Yichun Zhang and Daniil Bondarev.
