nginx-0.2.0

[Igor Sysoev]

Changes with nginx 0.2.0                                         23 Sep 2005

     *) The pid-file names used during online upgrade was changed and now is
        not required a manual rename operation. The old master process adds
        the ".oldbin" suffix to its pid-file and executes a new binary file.
        The new master process creates usual pid-file without the ".newbin"
        suffix. If the master process exits, then old master process renames
        back its pid-file with the ".oldbin" suffix to the pid-file without
        suffix.

     *) Change: the "worker_connections" directive, new name of the
        "connections" directive; now the directive specifies maximum number
        of connections, but not maximum socket descriptor number.

     *) Feature: SSL supports the session cache inside one worker process.

     *) Feature: the "satisfy_any" directive.

     *) Change: the ngx_http_access_module and ngx_http_auth_basic_module do
        not run for subrequests.

     *) Feature: the "worker_rlimit_nofile" and "worker_rlimit_sigpending"
        directives.

     *) Bugfix: if all backend using in load-balancing failed after one
        error, then nginx did not try do connect to them during 60 seconds.

     *) Bugfix: in IMAP/POP3 command argument parsing. Thanks to Rob Mueller.

     *) Bugfix: errors while using SSL in IMAP/POP3 proxy.

     *) Bugfix: errors while using SSI and gzipping.

     *) Bugfix: the "Expires" and "Cache-Control" header lines were omitted
        from the 304 responses. Thanks to Alexandr Kukushkin.
