njs-0.2.8

[Dmitry Volyntsev]

Hello,

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

This release proceeds to extend the coverage of ECMAScript 
specifications and modules functionality.

- Added support for setting nginx variables.

- Added support for delete operation in r.headersOut.

- Properties of HTTP request deprecated in 0.2.2 were removed.

- Added labels support.

- Added support for shorthand property names for Object literals.
: > var a = 1, b = 2
: undefined
: > ({a, b})
: {
: a: 1,
: b: 2
: }
