[nginx-announce] njs-0.6.2

[Dmitry Volyntsev]

Hello,

I'm glad to announce a new release of NGINX JavaScript module (njs).

This release proceeds to extend the coverage of ECMAScript
specifications.

Notable new features:
- Advanced Promise constructor methods
: Promise.all(urls.map(u => ngx.fetch(u)))
: .then(responses => r.return(200, JSON.stringify(responses)))
