Version 1.7.10.2 - 3 July 2015

• bugfix: ./configure: fixed the --without-http_rewrite_module option by disabling Nginx Devel Kit automatically; also automatically disable the Encrypted Session Nginx Module when Nginx Devel Kit is disabled.
• bugfix: ./configure: removed hacks to work around an old bug in Lua Nginx Module's build system (just recently fixed in Lua Nginx Module).
• bugfix: LuaJIT compilation might fail when old gcc 4 compilers are used (like gcc 4.1.0). this regression had appeared in OpenResty 1.7.7.2. thanks aseiot for the report.
• upgraded Resty CLI to 0.03.
  • bugfix: resty: command-line options did not pass to the user Lua script unless -- was intentionally specified. now standalone Lua scripts with a shebang line work out of the box (if LuaJIT is used, which is the default). thanks neomantra for the report.
  • bugfix: resty: now sends error_log to stderr instead of the system-specific path /dev/stderr. thanks Evan Wies for the patch.
  • doc: added the new section "Test Suite" as per Enrique Garcia's request.
  • tests: fixed test failures on Mac OS X. thanks Enrique García for the report.
• upgraded Lua Nginx Module to 0.9.16.
  • feature: ngx.encode_base64(): added support for the "no_padding" boolean argument to disable padding when a true value is specified. thanks Shuxin Yang for the patch. this feature can be used for streaming base64 computation.
  • feature: fixed compilation failures with nginx 1.9.0. thanks Charles R. Portwood II for the original patch.
  • feature: removed the dead code for the old NGX_THREADS mode which broke the new nginx (1.7.11+) with thread pool support. thanks Tatsuhiko Kubo for the patch.
  • bugfix: use of ngx_http_image_filter_module might lead to request hang due to duplicate header filter invocations. thanks Antony Dovgal for the report.
  • bugfix: we should never automatically set Content-Type on 304 responses. thanks Simon Eskildsen for the patch.
  • bugfix: raw downstream cosockets did not support full-deplexing. thanks aviramc for the bug report and the original patch. this issue affected WebSockets too.
  • bugfix: we did not always discard the request body if the user Lua handlers didn't, which might cause 400 error pages for keep-alive or pipelined requests. thanks Shuxin Yang for the original patch.
  • bugfix: ngx.resp.get_headers(): some built-in headers were not accessible via lower-case. thanks Nick Muerdter for the patch.
  • bugfix: we might still pick up Lua/LuaJIT headers/libraries in the paths specified by nginx ./configure's --with-cc-opt=OPTS and --with-ld-opt=OPTS optons even when the LUAJIT_INC/LUAJIT_LIB or LUA_INC/LUA_LIB environments were explicitly specified.
  • bugfix: config: we might miss the linker option -ldl when we shouldn't. this might lead to build failures.
  • bugfix: access nonexistent fields in the "ngx" table in init_by_lua* could lead to the exception "no request object found" because of the overreacting __index metamethod of the "ngx" table.
  • bugfix: fixed compilation failures with very old versions of PCRE, like 4.5.
  • doc: fixed a bug in an example where both rewrite_by_lua and content_by_lua produce response outputs. thanks fengidri for the report.
  • doc: fixed the context for the lua_need_request_body directive. thanks Tatsuhiko Kubo for the patch.
  • doc: fixed the code sample for ngx.redirect() to reflect recent changes there. thanks Zi Lin for the report.
  • doc: added a note on possible uninitialized variables for short-circuited requests. thanks Simon Eskildsen for the patch.
  • tests: fixed nondeterminism due to unordered Lua table iterations. thanks Markus Linnala for the patch.
• upgraded Headers More Nginx Module to 0.26.
  • feature: fixed compilation failures with nginx 1.7.11+ configured with --with-threads (this was the only change included in the new v0.26 release tag as compared to the old v0.26 release tag).
  • optimize: removed the unused C function ngx_http_headers_more_rm_header. thanks Markus Linnala for the catch.
  • doc: made it clear that more_set_headers always override existing headers with the same name.
• upgraded Set Misc Nginx Module to 0.29.
  • feature: fixed compilation failures with nginx 1.7.11+ configured with --with-threads.
  • tests: add openssl hmac defensive test. thanks Markus Linnala for the patch.

Version 1.7.10.1 - 28 February 2015

• upgraded the Nginx core to 1.7.10.
  • see the changes here: http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES
• bugfix: applied the upstream_filter_finalize patch to the nginx core to fix corrupted $upstream_response_time variable values when filter_finalize and error_page are both used. thanks Daniel Bento for the report and Maxim Dounin for the patch.
• bugfix: ./configure: added --without-http_upstream_least_conn_module and --without-http_upstream_keepalive_module to the usage text (for --help) to reflect recent changes in the nginx core. thanks Seyhun Cavus for the report.
• bugfix: ./configure: renamed the --without-http_limit_zone_module option to --without-http_limit_conn_module to reflect the change in recent nginx cores. thanks Seyhun Cavus for the report.
• upgraded LuaJIT to v2.1-20150223: https://github.com/openresty/luajit2/tags
  • imported Mike Pall's latest changes:
    • x86/x64: fix code generation for fused test/arith ops. thanks to Alexander Nasonov and AFL.
    • fix string to number conversion. thanks to Lesley De Cruz.
    • fix lexer error for chunks without tokens.
    • LJ_FR2: fix bytecode generation for method lookups.
    • FFI: Prevent DSE across ffi.string().
• upgraded Lua Nginx Module to 0.9.15.
  • bugfix: the value of the Location response header set by ngx.redirect() or the ngx.header.HEADER API might get overwritten by nginx's header filter to the fully qualified form (with the scheme and host parts).
  • bugfix: lua_shared_dict: use of Lua numbers as the value in shared dict might lead to unaligned accesses which could lead to crashes on architectures requiring data alignment (like ARMv6). thanks Shuxin Yang for the fix and thanks Stefan Parvu and Brandon B for the report.
  • bugfix: using error codes (ngx.ERROR or >=300) in ngx.exit() in header_filter_by_lua* might lead to Lua stack overflow.
  • feature: improved the debugging event logging for timers created by ngx.timer.at().
  • optimize: fixed padding holes in our struct memory layouts for 64-bit systems to save a little memory.
  • optimize: header_filter_by_lua*: removed a piece of useless code. thanks Zi Lin for the report.
  • doc: emphasized the capability of using nginx variables in the Lua file path in content_by_lua_file/rewrite_by_lua_file/access_by_lua_file.
• upgraded Srcache Nginx Module to 0.29.
  • bugfix: upon cache hits, we might let the nginx core's header filter module overwrite the Location response header's values like "/foo/bar" to the fully-qualified form (like "http://test.com/foo/bar"). thanks AlexClineBB for the report.
• upgraded Resty CLI to 0.02.
  • bugfix: we did not explicitly specify the pid file path, which may conflict with the default pid path if the user compiles nginx with the --pid-path=PATH ./configure option. thanks fancyrabbit for the report. See ChangeLog 1.7.7 for change log for OpenResty 1.7.7.x.
