Mainline Version 1.0.8.19 - 24 October 2011

upgraded Lua Nginx Module to 0.3.1rc20.
- bugfix: no longer free request body buffers that are not allocated by ourselves.
- bugfix: now we allow setting ngx.var.VARIABLE to nil.

Mainline Version 1.0.8.17 - 22 October 2011

upgraded Lua Nginx Module to 0.3.1rc19.
- feature: now we apply the patch to the nginx core so as to allow main request body modifications: https://github.com/agentzh/ngx_openresty/blob/master/patches/nginx-1.0.8-allow_request_body_updating.patch
- feature: added new Lua API ngx.req.set_body_file(): http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#ngx.req.set_body_file
- feature: added new Lua API ngx.req.set_body_data(): http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#ngx.req.set_body_data
- bugfix: lua_need_request_body should not skip requests with methods other than POST and PUT. thanks Nginx User.

Mainline Version 1.0.8.15 - 19 October 2011

upgraded Lua Nginx Module to 0.3.1rc17.
- feature: added new Lua functions ngx.req.read_body(), ngx.req.discard_body(), ngx.req.get_body_data(), and ngx.req.get_body_file(). see the docs here: http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#ngx.req.read_body
- bugfix: fixed hanging issues when using ngx.exec() within rewrite_by_lua and access_by_lua. thanks Nginx User for reporting it.

Mainline Version 1.0.8.13 - 16 October 2011

upgraded Lua Nginx Module to 0.3.1rc16.
- fixed compilation failures when --with-debug is turned off.
- now we prohibit use of true jump argument in ngx.req.set_uri() in contexts other than rewrite_by_lua and rewrite_by_lua_file. a lua exception will be thrown if the context is incorrect.

Mainline Version 1.0.8.11 - 16 October 2011

upgraded Lua Nginx Module to 0.3.1rc14.
- now we change the ngx.req.set_uri() API a bit by changing the optional argument break_cycle to jump. so now it will not trigger location jump by default (because the jump argument is false by default) and in case jump is given true, the function will re-search locations and jump to the new location and never return.

Mainline Version 1.0.8.9 - 16 October 2011

upgraded Lua Nginx Module to 0.3.1rc13.
- now we implemented ngx.req.set_uri() and ngx.req.set_uri_args() to emulate ngx_rewrite's rewrite directive (without redirect or permanent modifiers). thanks Vladimir Protasov (utros) and Nginx User.
- now we skip rewrite phase Lua handlers altogether if ngx_rewrite's rewrite directive issue a location re-lookup by changing URIs (but not including rewrite ... break). thanks Nginx User.
- added constant ngx.HTTP_METHOD_NOT_IMPLEMENTED (501). thanks Nginx User.

Mainline Version 1.0.8.7 - 15 October 2011

upgraded Srcache Nginx Module to 0.13rc2.
- bugfix: we now only cache 200, 301, and 302 responses by default.
- feature: implemented new directive srcache_store_statuses to allow the user to specify the response status code list that is to be stored into the cache.

Mainline Version 1.0.8.5 - 13 October 2011

upgraded Lua Nginx Module to 0.3.1rc11.
- bugfix: now we explicitly clear all the modules' contexts before dump to named location with ngx.exec.
upgraded Echo Nginx Module to 0.37rc6.
- bugfix: now we explicitly clear all the modules' contexts before dump to named location with echo_exec.
- bugfix: bugfix: echo_exec may hang when running after echo_sleep (or other I/O interruption calls): we should have called ngx_http_finalize_request on NGX_DONE to decrement r->main->count anyway.
applied the patch to the Nginx core that always clears all modules' contexts in ngx_http_named_location.

Mainline Version 1.0.8.3 - 13 October 2011

upgraded Lua Nginx Module to 0.3.1rc10.
- bugfix: calling ngx.exec() to jump to a named location did not clear the context object of Lua Nginx Module properly and might cause evil problems. thanks Nginx User.
upgraded Iconv Nginx Module to 0.10rc5.
- bugfix: fixed -Wset-but-not-used warnings issued by gcc 4.6.0. thanks 支家乐 (Calio).

Mainline Version 1.0.8.1 - 10 October 2011

upgraded Echo Nginx Module to 0.37rc5.
- bugfix: now we properly set the Content-Length request header for subrequests.
upgraded Lua Nginx Module to 0.3.1rc9.
- feature: now for HTTP 1.0 requests, we disable the automatic full buffering mode if the user sets the Content-Length response header before sending out the headers. this allows streaming output for HTTP 1.0 requests if the content length can be calculated beforehand. thanks 李子义.
- bugfix: now we properly support setting the Cache-Control response header via the ngx.header.HEADER interface.
- bugfix: no longer set header hash to 1. use the ngx_hash_key_lc instead.
upgraded Headers More Nginx Module to 0.16rc3.
- bugfix: we should set header hash using ngx_hash_key_lc, not simply to 1.
- bugfix: fixed setting Cache-Control response headers. we should properly prepare the r->cache_control array as well.
upgraded Srcache Nginx Module to 0.13rc1.
- implemented response status line and general response header caching and added new directives srcache_store_hide_header and srcache_store_pass_header to control which headers to cache and which not.
- added new directive srcache_response_cache_control to control whether honor response headers Cache-Control and Expires, default on.
- we disable srcache_store automatically by default when Cache-Control: max-age=0 and Expires: <date no more recently than now> are seen.
- implemented builtin nginx variable $srcache_expire for automatic expiration time calculation based on response headers Cache-Control (max-age) and Expires; also added new directives srcache_max_expire and srcache_default_expire.
- implemented the srcache_store_no_cache directive; now by default, we do not store responses with the header Cache-Control: no-cache into the cache.
- implemented the srcache_store_no_store directive (default off). Now by default, responses with the header Cache-Control: no-store will not be stored into the cache.
- implemented the srcache_store_private directive to control whether to store responses with the header Cache-Control: private.
- implemented the srcache_request_cache_control directive to allow request headers Cache-Control: no-cache or Pragma: no-cache to force bypassing cache lookup. it also honors the request header Cache-Control: no-store. this directive is turned off by default.
- now we check response header Content-Encoding by default and a non-empty header value will skip srcache_store; also introduced a new directive named srcache_ignore_content_encoding to ignore this response header.
- implemented the srcache_methods directive to specify request methods that are cacheable, by default, only GET and HEAD are cacheable.
- bugfix: we no longer set header hash to 1; we use ngx_hash_key_lc instead.
- bugfix: when we skip srcache_fetch by means of srcache_fetch_skip, we should not automatically skip srcache_store.
- bugfix: now we ignore the Content-Length header (if any) of the main request for the subrequests.
- bugfix: there might be a segfault when failing to allocate memory in ngx_http_srcache_add_copy_chain. thanks Shaun savage.

- bugfix: fixed compatibility with nginx 1.1.4+.
upgraded Rds Csv Nginx Module to 0.04.
