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.
Several warnings silenced, notably (ngx_socket_t) -1 is now checked
on socket operations instead of -1, as ngx_socket_t is unsigned on win32
and gcc complains on comparison.
With this patch, it's now possible to compile nginx using mingw gcc,
with options we normally compile on win32.
options as --with-zlib=../zlib-1.2.3. It seems there is no common way
to learn the current directory in Win32 make's: although nmake has MAKEDIR
variable, nevertheless Borland make's MAKEDIR is the directory where make
is installed, and OpenWatcom wmake has no MAKEDIR at all.
*) Feature: the "server_names" directive supports the ".domain.tld"
names.
*) Feature: the "server_names" directive uses the hash for the
"*.domain.tld" names and more effective hash for usual names.
*) Change: the "server_names_hash_max_size" and
"server_names_hash_bucket_size" directives.
*) Change: the "server_names_hash" and "server_names_hash_threshold"
directives were canceled.
*) Feature: the "valid_referers" directive uses the hash site names.
*) Change: now the "valid_referers" directive checks the site names
only without the URI part.
*) Bugfix: some ".domain.tld" names incorrectly processed by the
ngx_http_map_module.
*) Bugfix: segmentation fault was occurred if configuration file did
not exist; the bug had appeared in 0.3.12.
*) Bugfix: on 64-bit platforms segmentation fault may occurred on
start; the bug had appeared in 0.3.16.
*) Change: the invalid client header lines are now ignored and logged
at the info level.
*) Change: the server name is also logged in error log.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_auth_basic_module module and the auth_basic
and auth_basic_user_file directives.
*) Bugfix: the ngx_http_stub_status_module showed incorrect statistics
if "rtsig" method was used or if several worker process ran on SMP.
*) Bugfix: nginx could not be built by the icc compiler on Linux or if
the zlib-1.2.x library was building from sources.
*) Bugfix: nginx could not be built on NetBSD 2.0.
*) 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.
*) Bugfix: the proxied request was sent without arguments if the
request contains "//", "/./", "/../" or "%XX".
*) Bugfix: the large compressed responses may be transferred not
completely.
*) Bugfix: the files bigger than 2G was not transferred on Linux that
does not support sendfile64().
*) Bugfix: while the build configuration on Linux the
--with-poll_module parameter was required; the bug had appeared in
0.1.8.
*) 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 --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.
