       directive did not work when using TLSv1.3 with OpenSSL or BoringSSL.

       lists.

    *) Change: now nginx combines arbitrary header lines with identical
       names when sending to FastCGI, SCGI, and uwsgi backends, in the
       $r->header_in() method of the ngx_http_perl_module, and during lookup
       of the "$http_...", "$sent_http_...", "$sent_trailer_...",
       "$upstream_http_...", and "$upstream_trailer_..." variables.

    *) Bugfix: if there were multiple "Vary" header lines in the backend
       response, nginx only used the last of them when caching.

    *) Bugfix: if there were multiple "WWW-Authenticate" header lines in the
       backend response and errors with code 401 were intercepted or the

       notify" SSL errors has been lowered from "crit" to "info".

       newer, but was used on systems without EPOLLRDHUP support, notably
       with epoll emulation layers; the bug had appeared in 1.17.5.
       Thanks to Marcus Ball.

    *) Bugfix: nginx did not cache the response if the "Expires" response
       header line disabled caching, but following "Cache-Control" header
       line enabled caching.

       in logs when proxying WebSocket connections with caching enabled.

       with code 502 instead of 504 when a timeout occurred during an SSL
       handshake to a backend.


Changes with nginx 1.11.5                                        11 Oct 2016

    *) Feature: the $request_id variable.

    *) Feature: the "map" directive supports combinations of multiple
       variables as resulting values.

    *) Feature: now nginx checks if EPOLLRDHUP events are supported by
       kernel, and optimizes connection handling accordingly if the "epoll"
       method is used.

    *) Feature: the "ssl_certificate" and "ssl_certificate_key" directives
       can be specified multiple times to load certificates of different
       types (for example, RSA and ECDSA).

    *) Feature: the "ssl_ecdh_curve" directive now allows specifying a list
       of curves when using OpenSSL 1.0.2 or newer; by default a list built

       during an SSL handshake; this improves interoperability with some
       HTTP/2 clients when using client certificates.

    *) Change: HTTP/2 clients can now start sending request body
       immediately; the "http2_body_preread_size" directive controls size of
       the buffer used before nginx will start reading client request body.

       "proxy_cache_bypass" directive.

       1.9.14.

    *) Workaround: a response might not be shown by some browsers if HTTP/2
       was used and client request body was not fully read; the bug had
       appeared in 1.9.14.

    *) Bugfix: connections might hang when using the "aio threads"
       directive.
       Thanks to Mindaugas Rasiukevicius.

    *) Change: non-idempotent requests (POST, LOCK, PATCH) are no longer
       passed to the next server by default if a request has been sent to a

       appear in logs when using the "sendfile" and "aio" directives with
       subrequests.

    *) Bugfix: "zero size buf in output" alerts might appear in logs if
       caching was used and a client closed a connection prematurely.

    *) Bugfix: connections with clients might be closed needlessly if
       caching was used.
       Thanks to Justin Li.

    *) Bugfix: nginx might hog CPU if the "sendfile" directive was used on
       Linux or Solaris and a file being sent was changed during sending.

    *) Bugfix: connections might hang when using the "sendfile" and "aio
       threads" directives.

    *) Bugfix: in the "proxy_pass", "fastcgi_pass", "scgi_pass", and
       "uwsgi_pass" directives when using variables.
       Thanks to Piotr Sikora.

    *) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_sub_filter_module.

       request was passed to the next server regardless of the
       proxy_next_upstream directive.

    *) Bugfix: "CreateFile() failed" errors when creating temporary files on
       Windows.

       the bug had appeared in 1.9.11.

    *) Bugfix: the "add_header ... always" directive with an empty value did
       not delete "Last-Modified" and "ETag" header lines from error
       responses.

    *) Workaround: "called a function you should not call" and "shutdown
       while in init" messages might appear in logs when using OpenSSL
       1.0.2f.

    *) Security: invalid pointer dereference might occur during DNS server
       response processing if the "resolver" directive was used, allowing an
       attacker who is able to forge UDP packets from the DNS server to
       cause segmentation fault in a worker process (CVE-2016-0742).

    *) Security: use-after-free condition might occur during CNAME response
       processing if the "resolver" directive was used, allowing an attacker
       who is able to trigger name resolution to cause segmentation fault in
       a worker process, or might have potential other impact
       (CVE-2016-0746).

    *) Security: CNAME resolution was insufficiently limited if the
       "resolver" directive was used, allowing an attacker who is able to
       trigger arbitrary name resolution to cause excessive resource
       consumption in worker processes (CVE-2016-0747).

    *) Feature: the "auto" parameter of the "worker_cpu_affinity" directive.

       possible to use the HTTP/2 protocol even if the "http2" parameter of
       the "listen" directive was not specified.

    *) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_v2_module.

       used in the outer location.

    *) Bugfix: in hash table initialization error handling.

    *) Bugfix: nginx could not be built with Visual Studio 2015.

    *) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_spdy_module.
       Thanks to Piotr Sikora.

       "post_action" directive was used; the bug had appeared in 1.5.4.

       "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.

    *) Bugfix: in the "proxy_cache_revalidate" directive.
       Thanks to Piotr Sikora.

    *) The pid-file names used during online upgrade was changed and now is
       not required a manual rename operation. The old master process adds
       the ".oldbin" suffix to its pid-file and executes a new binary file.
       The new master process creates usual pid-file without the ".newbin"
       suffix. If the master process exits, then old master process renames
       back its pid-file with the ".oldbin" suffix to the pid-file without
       suffix.

    *) Change: the "worker_connections" directive, new name of the
       "connections" directive; now the directive specifies maximum number
       of connections, but not maximum socket descriptor number.

       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

       regular expression.

       to use the regular expressions in locations.

    *) Bugfix: the directive "proxy_preserve_host on" adds port 80 to the
       "Host" headers, if upstream listen on port 80; the bug had appeared
       in 0.1.14.

    *) Bugfix: the same paths in autoconfiguration parameters
       --http-client-body-temp-path=PATH and --http-proxy-temp-path=PATH, or

       where these methods may do the false reports, there may be the long
       delay when the request was passed via the keep-alive connection. It
