Changes with njs 0.8.5                                       25 Jun 2024

     nginx modules:

     *) Change: r.variables.var, r.requestText, r.responseText,
        s.variables.var, and the "data" argument of the s.on() callback
        with "upload" or "download" event types will now convert bytes
        invalid in UTF-8 encoding into the replacement character. When
        working with binary data, use r.rawVariables.var, r.requestBuffer,
        r.responseBuffer, s.rawVariables.var, and the "upstream" or
        "downstream" event type for s.on() instead.

     *) Feature: added timeout argument for shared dictionary methods
        add(), set() and incr().

     *) Bugfix: fixed checking for duplicate js_set variables.

     *) Bugfix: fixed request Host header when the port is non-standard.

     *) Bugfix: fixed handling of a zero-length request body in ngx.fetch()
        and r.subrequest().

     *) Bugfix: fixed heap-buffer-overflow in Headers.get().

     *) Bugfix: fixed r.subrequest() error handling.

     Core:

     *) Bugfix: fixed zlib.inflate().

        argument.

     *) Bugfix: fixed retval handling after an exception in
        Array.prototype.toSpliced(), Array.prototype.toReversed(),
        Array.prototype.toSorted().

     *) Bugfix: fixed RegExp.prototype[@@replace]() with replacements
        containing "$'", "$\`" and strings with Unicode characters.

     *) Bugfix: fixed a one-byte overread in decodeURI() and
        decodeURIComponent().
