njs-0.7.6

[Dmitry Volyntsev]

Hello,

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

Notable new features:
  - improved r.args:
     Now, duplicate keys are returned as an array, keys are
     case-sensitive, both keys and values are percent-decoded.

     For example, the query string

     'a=1&b=%32&A=3&b=4&B=two%20words'

     is converted to r.args as:

     {a: "1", b: ["2", "4"], A: "3", B: "two words"}
