[nginx-announce] njs-0.7.12

[Dmitry Volyntsev]

Hello,

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

Notable new features:
- "zlib" module:
: const zlib = require('zlib');
: zlib.deflateRawSync('αβγ').toString('base64')
: /* "O7fx3KZzmwE=" */
:
: zlib.inflateRawSync(Buffer.from('O7fx3KZzmwE=', 'base64')).toString()
: /* "αβγ" */
