Just using "cp" is incorrect, as it will overwrite old files
possibly used by OS, leading to unexpected effects. Changed
to "mv + cp", much like used for the main binary.
The "build" target introduced to do all build-related tasks, and
it is now used in Makefile and in objs/Makefile as a dependency for
the "install" target.
In particular, this resolves problems as observed with dynamic modules
by people trying to do "make install" without calling "make" first.
The auto/module script is extended to understand ngx_module_link=DYNAMIC.
When set, it links the module as a shared object rather than statically
into nginx binary. The module can later be loaded using the "load_module"
directive.
New auto/module parameter ngx_module_order allows to define module loading
order in complex cases. By default the order is set based on ngx_module_type.
3rd party modules can be compiled dynamically using the --add-dynamic-module
configure option, which will preset ngx_module_link to "DYNAMIC" before
calling the module config script.
Win32 support is rudimentary, and only works when using MinGW gcc (which
is able to handle exports/imports automatically).
In collaboration with Ruslan Ermilov.
It's now initialized in auto/options like the rest of variables
for system paths.
As a side effect, the currently unused macro NGX_SBIN_PATH now
gets the correct value.
*) Change: the "proxy_redirect_errors" and "fastcgi_redirect_errors"
directives was renamed to the "proxy_intercept_errors" and
"fastcgi_intercept_errors" directives.
*) Feature: the ngx_http_charset_module supports the recoding from the
single byte encodings to the UTF-8 encoding and back.
*) Feature: the "X-Accel-Charset" response header line is supported in
proxy and FastCGI mode.
*) Bugfix: the "\" escape symbol in the "\"" and "\'" pairs in the SSI
command was removed only if the command also has the "$" symbol.
*) Bugfix: the "<!--" string might be added on some conditions in the
SSI after inclusion.
*) Bugfix: if the "Content-Length: 0" header line was in response, then
in nonbuffered proxying mode the client connection was not closed.
*) Bugfix: the ngx_http_stub_status_module showed incorrect handled
connections statistics if the proxying or FastCGI server were used.
*) Bugfix: the installation paths were incorrectly quoted on Linux and
Solaris; the bug had appeared in 0.1.21.
*) Bugfix: the ngx_http_stub_status_module showed incorrect statistics
if "rtsig" method was used or if several worker process ran on SMP.
*) Bugfix: nginx could not be built by the icc compiler on Linux or if
the zlib-1.2.x library was building from sources.
*) Bugfix: nginx could not be built on NetBSD 2.0.
*) Bugfix: the proxied request was sent without arguments if the
request contains "//", "/./", "/../" or "%XX".
*) Bugfix: the large compressed responses may be transferred not
completely.
*) Bugfix: the files bigger than 2G was not transferred on Linux that
does not support sendfile64().
*) Bugfix: while the build configuration on Linux the
--with-poll_module parameter was required; the bug had appeared in
0.1.8.
*) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_autoindex_module if the long file names were
in the listing.
*) Feature: the "^~" modifier in the location directive.
*) Feature: the proxy_max_temp_file_size directive.
*) Feature: the --user=USER, --group=GROUP, and --with-ld-opt=OPTIONS
options in configure.
*) Feature: the server_name directive supports *.domain.tld.
*) Bugfix: the portability improvements.
*) Bugfix: if configuration file was set in command line, the
reconfiguration was impossible; the bug had appeared in 0.1.1.
*) Bugfix: proxy module may get caught in an endless loop when sendfile
is not used.
*) Bugfix: with sendfile the response was not recoded according to the
charset module directives; the bug had appeared in 0.1.1.
*) Bugfix: very seldom bug in the kqueue processing.
*) Bugfix: the gzip module compressed the proxied responses that was
already compressed.
*) Feature: the gzip_types directive.
*) Feature: the tcp_nodelay directive.
*) Feature: the send_lowat directive is working not only on OSes that
support kqueue NOTE_LOWAT, but also on OSes that support SO_SNDLOWAT.
*) Feature: the setproctitle() emulation for Linux and Solaris.
*) Bugfix: the "Location" header rewrite bug fixed while the proxying.
*) Bugfix: the ngx_http_chunked_module module may get caught in an
endless loop.
*) Bugfix: the /dev/poll module bugs fixed.
*) Bugfix: the responses were corrupted when the temporary files were
used while the proxying.
*) Bugfix: the unescaped requests were passed to the backend.
*) Bugfix: while the build configuration on Linux 2.4 the
--with-poll_module parameter was required.
