Changes with nginx 1.2.1 05 Jun  
2012

```
*) Security: now nginx/Windows ignores trailing dot in URI path
   component, and does not allow URIs with ":$" in it.
   Thanks to Vladimir Kochetkov, Positive Research Center.

*) Feature: the "debug_connection" directive now supports IPv6 

```

addresses  
and the “unix:” parameter.

```
*) Feature: the "set_real_ip_from" directive and the "proxy" 

```

parameter  
of the “geo” directive now support IPv6 addresses.

```
*) Feature: the "real_ip_recursive", "geoip_proxy", and
   "geoip_proxy_recursive" directives.

*) Feature: the "proxy_recursive" parameter of the "geo" directive.

*) Bugfix: a segmentation fault might occur in a worker process if 

```

the  
“resolver” directive was used.

```
*) Bugfix: a segmentation fault might occur in a worker process if 

```

the  
“fastcgi\_pass”, “scgi\_pass”, or “uwsgi\_pass” directives were used  
and  
backend returned incorrect response.

```
*) Bugfix: a segmentation fault might occur in a worker process if 

```

the  
“rewrite” directive was used and new request arguments in a  
replacement used variables.

```
*) Bugfix: nginx might hog CPU if the open file resource limit was
   reached.

*) Bugfix: nginx might loop infinitely over backends if the
   "proxy_next_upstream" directive with the "http_404" parameter was
   used and there were backup servers specified in an upstream 

```

block.

```
*) Bugfix: adding the "down" parameter of the "server" directive 

```

might  
cause unneeded client redistribution among backend servers if the  
“ip\_hash” directive was used.

```
*) Bugfix: socket leak.
   Thanks to Yichun Z..

*) Bugfix: in the ngx_http_fastcgi_module.

```
