njs-0.8.2

[Dmitry Volyntsev]

Hello,

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

Notable new features:
- console object in nginx modules:
Console object is a global object that provides access to the environment's
console. It can be used to log information to the console, using
console.log(), console.info(), console.warn(), console.error() methods.

This feature unifies logging in nginx modules and njs CLI.
