Which version to use?

Server NGINX
1

Thanks for providing this great piece of software: nginx.

I’m successfully running 0.6.35 at my site with the [1]syslog patch.
Today I noticed there was several major new versions, 0.7.x and 0.8.x
and searched for a list of major changes with no luck. I’m sticking
to 0.6.x as this is the major version provided by Debian and Ubuntu on
stable dists, but I’m looking to upgrade.

Where can I find a summary of major changes in the 0.7 and 0.8 series?
Can you point me to a brief comparison between 0.6 and 0.7/0.8?

Thanks in advance,

Jean-Baptiste Q.

Hi Igor,

I’m with Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev in Toulouse, France right
now, they think you are just too lazy to write the nginx news in
english :slight_smile:

This is exactly what I was looking for: http://sysoev.ru/ but it’s in
russian!

Google Translate gives some hints:

I will learn russian just because of Igor :slight_smile:

New 0.8 features:

*) caching of proxied and FastCGI servers;
*) file AIO support on FreeBSD and Linux;
*) named captures in regular expressions;
*) listening on unix sockets;
*) SSL CRL;

New 0.7 features:

*) caching of proxied and FastCGI servers;
*) "try_files" directive;
*) the "location" and "server_name" directives support captures
   in regular expressions;
*) XLST and image filters;
*) a preliminary IPv6 support;
*) nginx/Windows.

Jean-Baptiste, you can also have a look to the announcements Igor is
posting on each new release.

New 0.8 features:

*) caching of proxied and FastCGI servers;
*) file AIO support on FreeBSD and Linux;
*) named captures in regular expressions;
*) listening on unix sockets;

Igor backported this one to v0.7 since 0.7.64.
So it should appear on both list :slight_smile:
