Hi, folks! I’m happy to announce that the new stable release of ngx\_openresty, 1.0.8.26, has just been kicked out of door: [OpenResty® - Open source](http://openresty.org/#Download) This is the first stable release of ngx\_openresty that is based on the Nginx core 1.0.8. And this is a big release with a _lot_ of bug fixes and new features. Special thanks go to all our contributors and users to help make this happen over the last month 🙂 Here goes the complete change log for this release, as compared to the last stable release, 1.0.6.22, released nearly a month ago: - upgraded the Nginx core to 1.0.8. - upgraded LuaNginxModule to 0.3.1rc23. - feature: added new directive lua\_shared\_dict: [Lua | NGINX](http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#lua_shared_dict) - feature: added Lua API for the shm-based dictionary: [Lua | NGINX](http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#ngx.shared.DICT) - feature: now we apply the patch to the nginx core so as to allow main request body modifications. - feature: added new Lua API ngx.req.set\_body\_file(): [Lua | NGINX](http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#ngx.req.set_body_file) - feature: added new Lua API ngx.req.set\_body\_data(): [Lua | NGINX](http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#ngx.req.set_body_data) - feature: added new Lua functions ngx.req.read\_body(), ngx.req.discard\_body(), ngx.req.get\_body\_data(), and ngx.req.get\_body\_file(). see the docs here: [Lua | NGINX](http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpLuaModule#ngx.req.read_body) - feature: now we implemented ngx.req.set\_uri() and ngx.req.set\_uri\_args() to emulate ngx\_rewrite’s rewrite directive (without redirect or permanent modifiers). thanks Vladimir Protasov (utros) and Nginx U… - feature: added constant ngx.HTTP\_METHOD\_NOT\_IMPLEMENTED (501). thanks Nginx U… - feature: now for HTTP 1.0 requests, we disable the automatic full buffering mode if the user sets the Content-Length response header before sending out the headers. this allows streaming output for HTTP 1.0 requests if the content length can be calculated beforehand. thanks Li Ziyi. - bugfix: now we properly support setting the Cache-Control response header via the ngx.header.HEADER interface. - bugfix: no longer set header hash to 1. use the ngx\_hash\_key\_lcinstead. - bugfix: now we skip rewrite phase Lua handlers altogether if ngx\_rewrite’s rewrite directive issue a location re-lookup by changing URIs (but not including rewrite … break). thanks Nginx User. - bugfix: fixed hanging issues when using ngx.exec() within rewrite\_by\_lua and access\_by\_lua. thanks Nginx U. for reporting it. - bugfix: lua\_need\_request\_body should not skip requests with methods other than POST and PUT. thanks Nginx U… - bugfix: ndk.set\_var.DIRECTIVE had a memory issue and might pass empty argument values to the directive being called. thanks dannynoonan. - bugfix: no longer free request body buffers that are not allocated by ourselves. - bugfix: now we allow setting ngx.var.VARIABLE to nil. - bugfix: now we explicitly clear all the modules’ contexts before dump to named location with ngx.exec. thanks Nginx U… - upgraded EchoNginxModule to 0.37rc7. - bugfix: fixed a memory issue in both echo\_sleep and echo\_blocking\_sleep: we should not pass ngx\_str\_t strings to atof()which expects C strings. - bugfix: now we explicitly clear all the modules’ contexts before dump to named location with echo\_exec. - bugfix: bugfix: echo\_exec may hang when running after echo\_sleep(or other I/O interruption calls): we should have called ngx\_http\_finalize\_request on NGX\_DONE to decrement r-\>main-\>countanyway. - bugfix: now we properly set the Content-Length request header for subrequests. - upgraded SrcacheNginxModule to 0.13rc2. - feature: implemented response status line and general response header cachin and added new directives srcache\_store\_hide\_header and srcache\_store\_pass\_header to control which headers to cache and which not. - feature: added new directive srcache\_response\_cache\_control to control whether honor response headers Cache-Control and Expires, default on. - feature: we disable srcache\_store automatically by default when Cache-Control: max-age=0 and Expires: are seen. - feature: implemented builtin nginx variable $srcache\_expire for automatic expiration time calculation based on response headers Cache-Control (max-age) and Expires; also added new directives srcache\_max\_expire and srcache\_default\_expire. - feature: implemented the srcache\_store\_no\_cache directive; now by default, we do not store responses with the header Cache-Control: no-cache into the cache. - feature: implemented the srcache\_store\_no\_store directive (default off). Now by default, responses with the header Cache-Control: no-store will not be stored into the cache. - feature: implemented the srcache\_store\_private directive to control whether to store responses with the header Cache-Control: private. - feature: implemented the srcache\_request\_cache\_control directive to allow request headers Cache-Control: no-cache or Pragma: no-cache to force bypassing cache lookup. it also honors the request header Cache-Control: no-store. this directive is turned off by default. - feature: now we check response header Content-Encoding by default and a non-empty header value will skip srcache\_store; also introduced a new directive named srcache\_ignore\_content\_encoding to ignore this response header. - feature: implemented the srcache\_methods directive to specify request methods that are cacheable, by default, only GET and HEAD are cacheable. - bugfix: we no longer set header hash to 1; we use ngx\_hash\_key\_lcinstead. - bugfix: when we skip srcache\_fetch by means of srcache\_fetch\_skip, we should not automatically skip srcache\_store. - bugfix: now we ignore the Content-Length header (if any) of the main request for the subrequests. - bugfix: there might be a segfault when failing to allocate memory in ngx\_http\_srcache\_add\_copy\_chain. thanks Shaun savage. - feature: implemented new directive srcache\_store\_statuses to allow the user to specify the response status code list that is to be stored into the cache. - bugfix: we now only cache 200, 301, and 302 responses by default. - upgraded IconvNginxModule to 0.10rc5. - bugfix: fixed -Wset-but-not-used warnings issued by gcc 4.6.0. thanks Zhi Jiale (Calio). - upgraded HeadersMoreNginxModule to 0.16rc3. - bugfix: we should set header hash using ngx\_hash\_key\_lc, not simply to 1. - bugfix: fixed setting Cache-Control response headers. we should properly prepare the r-\>cache\_control array as well. - upgraded RdsJsonNginxModule to 0.12rc6. - bugfix: fixed compatibility with nginx 1.1.4+. - upgraded RdsCsvNginxModule to 0.04. - bugfix: fixed compatibility issues with nginx 1.1.4+. - optimization: now we only register our filters when rds\_csv is actually used in nginx.conf. - upgraded Redis2NginxModule to 0.08rc1. - bugfix: fixed compatibility with nginx 1.1.4+. - upgraded DrizzleNginxModule to 0.1.2rc2. - bugfix: fixed compatibility with nginx 1.1.4+ - upgraded MemcNginxModule to 0.13rc1. - bugfix: fixed compatibility with nginx 1.1.4+. - upgraded SetMiscNginxModule to v0.22rc3. - minor code cleanup. - applied the patch to the Nginx core that always clears all modules’ contexts in ngx\_http\_named\_location. - applied the patch for the variable-header-ignore-no-hash issue. see [[PATCH] Ignore response header entries with zero hash in ngx\_http\_varaible\_headers](http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?29,216062) for details. As always, you’re welcome to report bugs and feature requests either here or directly to me 🙂 It’ll also be highly appreciated to try out the devel releases (based on the Nginx core 1.0.9+) that are coming out later 😉 OpenResty (aka. ngx\_openresty) is a full-fledged web application server by bundling the standard Nginx core, lots of 3rd-party Nginx modules[http://wiki.nginx.org/3rdPartyModules](http://wiki.nginx.org/3rdPartyModules), as well as most of their external dependencies. By taking adantage of various well-designed Nginx modules, OpenResty effectively turns the nginx server into a powerful web app server, in which the web developers can use the Lua programming language to script various existing nginx C modules and Lua modules and construct extremely high-performance web applications that is capable to handle 10K+ connections. OpenResty aims to run your server-side web app completely in the Nginx server, leveraging Nginx’s event model to do non-blocking I/O not only with the HTTP clients, but also with remote backends like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Memcached, and Redis.
