the variables and referrers. The directives can be used inside
locations. The redirect directive was canceled.

another location.

location, and access was denied, and the error was redirected to a
static page, then the segmentation fault occurred.
*) Bugfix: if in a proxied "Location" header was a relative URL, then a
host name and a slash were added to them; the bug had appeared in
0.1.14.

*) Feature: the autoconfiguration directives:
--http-client-body-temp-path=PATH, --http-proxy-temp-path=PATH, and
--http-fastcgi-temp-path=PATH
*) Change: the directory name for the temporary files with the client
request body is specified by directive client_body_temp_path, by
default it is <prefix>/client_body_temp.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_fastcgi_module and the directives:
fastcgi_pass, fastcgi_root, fastcgi_index, fastcgi_params,
fastcgi_connect_timeout, fastcgi_send_timeout, fastcgi_read_timeout,
fastcgi_send_lowat, fastcgi_header_buffer_size, fastcgi_buffers,
fastcgi_busy_buffers_size, fastcgi_temp_path,
fastcgi_max_temp_file_size, fastcgi_temp_file_write_size,
fastcgi_next_upstream, and fastcgi_x_powered_by.
*) Bugfix: the "[alert] zero size buf" error; the bug had appeared in
0.1.3.
*) Change: the URI must be specified after the host name in the
proxy_pass directive.
*) Change: the %3F symbol in the URI was considered as the argument
string start.
*) Feature: the unix domain sockets support in the
ngx_http_proxy_module.
*) Feature: the ssl_engine and ssl_ciphers directives.
Thanks to Sergey Skvortsov for SSL-accelerator.

not work.
*) Bugfix: the %request_length log parameter logged the incorrect
length.
*) Feature: the worker_priority directive.
*) Change: both tcp_nopush and tcp_nodelay directives affect the
transferred response.
*) Bugfix: nginx did not call initgroups().
Thanks to Andrew Sitnikov and Andrei Nigmatulin.
*) Change: now the ngx_http_autoindex_module shows the file size in the
bytes.
*) Bugfix: the ngx_http_autoindex_module returned the 500 error if the
broken symlink was in a directory.
*) Bugfix: the files bigger than 4G could not be transferred using
sendfile.
*) Bugfix: if the backend was resolved to several backends and there
was an error while the response waiting then process may got caught
in an endless loop.
*) Bugfix: the worker process may exit with the "unknown cycle" message
when the /dev/poll method was used.
*) Bugfix: "close() channel failed" errors.
*) Bugfix: the autodetection of the "nobody" and "nogroup" groups.
*) Bugfix: the send_lowat directive did not work on Linux.
*) Bugfix: the segmentation fault occurred if there was no events
section in configuration.
*) Bugfix: nginx could not be built on OpenBSD.
*) Bugfix: the double slashes in "://" in the URI were converted to
":/".
*) 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 ngx_http_autoindex_module and the autoindex directive.
*) Feature: the proxy_set_x_url directive.
*) Bugfix: proxy module may get caught in an endless loop when sendfile
is not used.
*) 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.
*) Feature: the gzip_types directive.
*) Feature: the tcp_nodelay directive.
*) Feature: the send_lowat directive is working not only on OSes that

*) Feature: the setproctitle() emulation for Linux and Solaris.
*) Bugfix: the "Location" header rewrite bug fixed while the proxying.
*) Bugfix: the ngx_http_chunked_module module may get caught in an

*) Bugfix: the /dev/poll module bugs fixed.
*) Bugfix: the responses were corrupted when the temporary files were

*) Bugfix: the unescaped requests were passed to the backend.
*) Bugfix: while the build configuration on Linux 2.4 the
--with-poll_module parameter was required.
The first code that uses "ngx_" prefix, the previous one used "gx_" prefix.
At that point the code is not yet usable. The first draft ideas are dated
back to 23.10.2001.
