> new features.

> Special thanks go to all our contributors and users to help make this
> happen over the last month :)
>
> Here goes the complete change log for this release, as compared to the
> last stable release, 1.0.6.22, released nearly a month ago:
>
>    - upgraded the Nginx core to 1.0.8.
>    - upgraded LuaNginxModule to 0.3.1rc23.
>       - feature: added new directive lua_shared_dict:
>       http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#lua_shared_dict
>       - feature: added Lua API for the shm-based dictionary:
>       http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#ngx.shared.DICT
>       - feature: now we apply the patch to the nginx core so as to allow
>       main request body modifications.
>       - feature: added new Lua API ngx.req.set_body_file():
>       http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#ngx.req.set_body_file
>       - feature: added new Lua API ngx.req.set_body_data():
>       http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#ngx.req.set_body_data
>       - feature: added new Lua functions ngx.req.read_body(),
>       ngx.req.discard_body(), ngx.req.get_body_data(), and
>       ngx.req.get_body_file(). see the docs here:
>       http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#ngx.req.read_body
>       - feature: now we implemented ngx.req.set_uri() and
>       ngx.req.set_uri_args() to emulate ngx_rewrite's rewrite directive
>       (without redirect or permanent modifiers). thanks Vladimir Protasov
>       (utros) and Nginx User.
>       - feature: added constant ngx.HTTP_METHOD_NOT_IMPLEMENTED (501).
>       thanks Nginx User.
>       - feature: now for HTTP 1.0 requests, we disable the automatic full
>       buffering mode if the user sets the Content-Length response header
>       before sending out the headers. this allows streaming output for HTTP 1.0
>       requests if the content length can be calculated beforehand. thanks Li Ziyi.
>       - bugfix: now we properly support setting the Cache-Controlresponse header via the
>       ngx.header.HEADER interface.
>       - bugfix: no longer set header hash to 1. use the ngx_hash_key_lcinstead.
>       - bugfix: now we skip rewrite phase Lua handlers altogether if
>       ngx_rewrite's rewrite directive issue a location re-lookup by
>       changing URIs (but not including rewrite ... break). thanks Nginx User.
>       - bugfix: fixed hanging issues when using ngx.exec() within
>       rewrite_by_lua and access_by_lua. thanks Nginx User for reporting
>       it.
>       - bugfix: lua_need_request_body should not skip requests with
>       methods other than POST and PUT. thanks Nginx User.
>       - bugfix: ndk.set_var.DIRECTIVE had a memory issue and might pass
>       empty argument values to the directive being called. thanks dannynoonan.
>       - bugfix: no longer free request body buffers that are not
>       allocated by ourselves.
>       - bugfix: now we allow setting ngx.var.VARIABLE to nil.
>       - bugfix: now we explicitly clear all the modules' contexts before
>       dump to named location with ngx.exec. thanks Nginx User.
>    - upgraded EchoNginxModule to 0.37rc7.
>       - bugfix: fixed a memory issue in both echo_sleep and
>       echo_blocking_sleep: we should not pass ngx_str_t strings to atof()which expects C strings.
>       - bugfix: now we explicitly clear all the modules' contexts before
>       dump to named location with echo_exec.
>       - bugfix: bugfix: echo_exec may hang when running after echo_sleep(or other I/O interruption calls): we should have called
>       ngx_http_finalize_request on NGX_DONE to decrement r->main->countanyway.
>       - bugfix: now we properly set the Content-Length request header for
>       subrequests.
>    - upgraded SrcacheNginxModule to 0.13rc2.
>       - feature: implemented response status line and general response
>       header cachin and added new directives srcache_store_hide_headerand
>       srcache_store_pass_header to control which headers to cache and
>       which not.
>       - feature: added new directive srcache_response_cache_control to
>       control whether honor response headers Cache-Control and Expires,
>       default on.
>       - feature: we disable srcache_store automatically by default when Cache-Control:
>       max-age=0 and Expires: <date no more recently than now> are seen.
>       - feature: implemented builtin nginx variable $srcache_expire for
>       automatic expiration time calculation based on response headers
>       Cache-Control (max-age) and Expires; also added new directives
>       srcache_max_expire and srcache_default_expire.
>       - feature: implemented the srcache_store_no_cache directive; now by
>       default, we do not store responses with the header Cache-Control:
>       no-cache into the cache.
>       - feature: implemented the srcache_store_no_store directive(default
>       off). Now by default, responses with the header Cache-Control:
>       no-store will not be stored into the cache.
>       - feature: implemented the srcache_store_private directive to
>       control whether to store responses with the header Cache-Control:
>       private.
>       - feature: implemented the srcache_request_cache_control directive
>       to allow request headers Cache-Control: no-cache or Pragma: no-cacheto force bypassing cache lookup. it also honors the request header Cache-Control:
>       no-store. this directive is turned off by default.
>       - feature: now we check response header Content-Encoding by default
>       and a non-empty header value will skip srcache_store; also
>       introduced a new directive named srcache_ignore_content_encoding to
>       ignore this response header.
>       - feature: implemented the srcache_methods directive to specify
>       request methods that are cacheable, by default, only GET and HEADare cacheable.
>       - bugfix: we no longer set header hash to 1; we use ngx_hash_key_lcinstead.
>       - bugfix: when we skip srcache_fetch by means of srcache_fetch_skip,
>       we should not automatically skip srcache_store.
>       - bugfix: now we ignore the Content-Length header (if any) of the
>       main request for the subrequests.
>       - bugfix: there might be a segfault when failing to allocate memory
>       in ngx_http_srcache_add_copy_chain. thanks Shaun savage.
>       - feature: implemented new directive srcache_store_statuses to
>       allow the user to specify the response status code list that is to be
>       stored into the cache.
>       - bugfix: we now only cache 200, 301, and 302 responses by default.
>    - upgraded IconvNginxModule to 0.10rc5.

>       thanks Zhi Jiale (Calio).
>    - upgraded HeadersMoreNginxModule to 0.16rc3.
>       - bugfix: we should set header hash using ngx_hash_key_lc, not
>       simply to 1.
>       - bugfix: fixed setting Cache-Control response headers. we should
>       properly prepare the r->cache_control array as well.
>    - upgraded RdsJsonNginxModule to 0.12rc6.
>       - bugfix: fixed compatibility with nginx 1.1.4+.
>    - upgraded RdsCsvNginxModule to 0.04.
>       - bugfix: fixed compatibility issues with nginx 1.1.4+.
>       - optimization: now we only register our filters when rds_csv is
>       actually used in nginx.conf.
>    - upgraded Redis2NginxModule to 0.08rc1.
>       - bugfix: fixed compatibility with nginx 1.1.4+.
>    - upgraded DrizzleNginxModule to 0.1.2rc2.
>       - bugfix: fixed compatibility with nginx 1.1.4+
>    - upgraded MemcNginxModule to 0.13rc1.

> Memcached, and Redis.
