[Igor Sysoev]

Changes with nginx 0.6.7                                         15 Aug 2007

    *) Change: now the paths specified in the "include", 
       "auth_basic_user_file", "perl_modules", "ssl_certificate", 
       "ssl_certificate_key", and "ssl_client_certificate" directives are 
       relative to directory of nginx configuration file nginx.conf, but no 
       to nginx prefix directory.

    *) Change: the --sysconfdir=PATH option in configure was canceled.

    *) Change: the special make target "upgrade1" was defined for online 
       upgrade of 0.1.x versions.

    *) Feature: the "server_name" and "valid_referers" directives support 
       regular expressions.

    *) Feature: the "server" directive in the "upstream" context supports 
       the "backup" parameter.

    *) Feature: the ngx_http_perl_module supports the 
       $r->discard_request_body.

    *) Feature: the "add_header Last-Modified ..." directive changes the 
       "Last-Modified" response header line.

    *) Bugfix: if an response different than 200 was returned to an request 
       with body and connection went to the keep-alive state after the 
       request, then nginx returned 400 for the next request.

    *) Bugfix: a segmentation fault occurred in worker process if invalid 
       address was set in the "auth_http" directive.

    *) Bugfix: now nginx uses default listen backlog value 511 on all 
       platforms except FreeBSD.
       Thanks to Jiang Hong.

    *) Bugfix: a worker process may got caught in an endless loop, if an 
       "server" inside "upstream" block was marked as "down"; bug appeared 
       in 0.6.6.

    *) Bugfix: now Solaris sendfilev() is not used to transfer the client 
       request body to FastCGI-server via the unix domain socket.
