That really sucks. Can it be configured differently to allow
non-authenticated users access to page histories?

As we're on the topic of historic documentation across a versioned
piece of software like nginx, I'd like to put in a plea here for
something to be worked out to expose the mapping of config directives
to the version in which they were introduced, or when their behaviours
changed - in a *structured* format.

IMHO that's a really major documentation flaw in both the wiki and the
official documentation, as the inline notes about version
applicability are both sparse and not formalised/structured at all
usefully.
