Hello, folks!

I am delighted to announce the new development version of ngx_openresty,
1.2.6.1:

http://openresty.org/#Download

Special thanks go to all our contributors and users for helping make
this
happen!

Below is the complete change log for this release, as compared to the
last
(stable) release, 1.2.4.14:

  • upgraded the Nginx core to 1.2.6.

  • upgraded LuaNginxModule to 0.7.13.

    • bugfix: ngx.decode_args() might result in Lua string storage
      corruption. thanks Xu Jian for the report and Kindy Lin for
      the patch.

    • bugfix: using a key with underscores in ngx.header.KEY
      resulted in Lua string storage corruption. thanks rkearsley
      for reporting this issue.

    • bugfix: accessing ngx.var.VARIABLE allocated temporary
      memory buffers in the request memory pool, which could lead
      to unnecessarily large memory footprint; now it allocates
      such buffers via Lua GC.

    • feature: automatically detect LuaJIT 2.0 on FreeBSD by
      default. thanks rkearsley for the patch.

    • docs: explained why “local foo = require “foo”” is required
      for loading a Lua module. thanks rkearsley for asking.

    • docs: fixed a typo in the code sample for
      tcpsock:receiveuntil(). thanks Yecheng Fu for the patch.

    • docs: fixed a typo in the Lua code sample for ngx.re.gmatch
      (we forgot to add “do” there). thanks Guo Yin for reporting
      this issue.

  • upgraded LuaRestyUploadLibrary to 0.06.

    • optimize: use the pure lower-case form of the key
      “content-type” to index the headers table returned by
      ngx.req.get_headers() so as to avoid the overhead of calling
      the “__index” metamethod.

  • upgraded SrcacheNginxModule to 0.17.

    • bugfix: srcache_store would emit the misleading error
      message “srcache_store: skipped because response body
      truncated: N > 0” for HEAD requests (because a HEAD
      request’s response never carries a body); now it just skips
      such responses silently. thanks Yang Jin for reporting this
      issue.

  • bugfix: when relative paths were used in “–with-zlib=DIR”,
    “–with-libatomic=DIR”, “–with-md5=DIR”, and “–with-sha1=DIR”,
    the build system of Nginx could not find “DIR” at all. thanks
    LazyZhu for reporting this issue.

OpenResty (aka. ngx_openresty) is a full-fledged web application server
by
bundling the standard Nginx core, lots of 3rd-party Nginx modules and
Lua
libraries, as well as most of their external dependencies. See
OpenResty’s
homepage for details:

http://openresty.org/

We have been running extensive testing on our Amazon EC2 test cluster
and
ensure that all the components (including the Nginx core) play well
together. The latest test report can always be found here:

Happy New Year!
