    *) Security: now nginx/Windows ignores trailing dot in URI path
       component, and does not allow URIs with ":$" in it.
       Thanks to Vladimir Kochetkov, Positive Research Center.

    *) Feature: the "proxy_pass", "fastcgi_pass", "scgi_pass", "uwsgi_pass"
       directives, and the "server" directive inside the "upstream" block,
       now support IPv6 addresses.

    *) Feature: the "resolver" directive now support IPv6 addresses and an
       optional port specification.

    *) Feature: the "least_conn" directive inside the "upstream" block.

    *) Feature: it is now possible to specify a weight for servers while
       using the "ip_hash" directive.

    *) Bugfix: a segmentation fault might occur in a worker process if the
       "image_filter" directive was used; the bug had appeared in 1.3.0.

    *) Bugfix: nginx could not be built with ngx_cpp_test_module; the bug
       had appeared in 1.1.12.

       not work after reconfiguration.
       Thanks to Yichun Zhang.

       directives.
