    *) Bugfix: now, if request contains the zero, then the 404 error is 
       returned for the local requests.

    *) Bugfix: nginx could not be built on NetBSD 2.0.

    *) Bugfix: the timeout may occur while reading of the the client 
       request body via SSL connections.


Changes with nginx 0.1.18                                        09 Feb 2005

    *) Workaround: the default values of the devpoll_events and the 
       devpoll_changes directives changed from 512 to 32 to be compatible 
       with Solaris 10.

    *) Bugfix: the proxy_set_x_var and fastcgi_set_var directives were not 
       inherited.

    *) Bugfix: in the redirect rewrite directive the arguments were 
       concatenated with URI by the "&" rather than the "?".

    *) Bugfix: the lines without trailing ";" in the file being included by 
       the ngx_http_geo_module were silently ignored.

    *) Feature: the ngx_http_stub_status_module.

    *) Bugfix: the unknown log format in the access_log directive caused 
       the segmentation fault.

    *) Feature: the new "document_root" parameter of the fastcgi_params 
       directive.

    *) Feature: the fastcgi_redirect_errors directive.

    *) Feature: the new "break" modifier of the "rewrite" directive allows 
       to stop the rewrite/location cycle and sets the current 
       configuration to the request.

    *) Feature: the ngx_http_rewrite_module was rewritten from the scratch. 
       Now it is possible to redirect, to return the error codes, to check 
       the variables and referrers. The directives can be used inside 
       locations. The redirect directive was canceled.

    *) Feature: the ngx_http_geo_module.

    *) Feature: the proxy_set_x_var and fastcgi_set_var directives.

    *) Bugfix: the location configuration with "=" modifier may be used in 
       another location.

    *) Bugfix: the correct content type was set only for requests that use 
       small caps letters in extension.

    *) Bugfix: if the proxy_pass or fastcgi_pass directives were set in the 
       location, and access was denied, and the error was redirected to a 
       static page, then the segmentation fault occurred.

    *) Bugfix: if in a proxied "Location" header was a relative URL, then a 
       host name and a slash were added to them; bug appeared in 0.1.14.

    *) Bugfix: the system error message was not logged on Linux.

    *) Bugfix: if the response were transferred by chunks, then on the HEAD 
       request the final chunk was issued.

    *) Bugfix: the "Connection: keep-alive" header were issued, even if the 
       keepalive_timeout directive forbade the keep-alive use.

       segmentation faults.

    *) Bugfix: the compressed response encrypted by SSL may not transferred 
       complete.

    *) Feature: the rewrite directive supports the arguments rewriting.

    *) Bugfix: the response code 400 was returned for the POST request with

       segmentation fault.

    *) Bugfix: the correct handling of the regular exporession, that has 
       different number of the captures and substitutions.

    *) Feature: the location, that is passed to the FastCGI server, can be 
       regualar expression.

    *) Bugfix: the FastCGI's parameter REQUEST_URI is now passed with the 
       arguments and in the original state.

    *) Bugfix: the ngx_http_rewrite_module module was required to be built 
       to use the regular expressions in locations.

    *) Bugfix: the directive "proxy_preserve_host  on" adds port 80 to the 
       "Host" headers, if upstream listen on port 80; bug appeared in 
       0.1.14.

    *) Bugfix: the same pathes in autoconfiguration paramters 
       --http-client-body-temp-path=PATH and --http-proxy-temp-path=PATH,

    *) Change: the URI must be specified after the host name in the 
       proxy_pass directive.

    *) Change: the %3F symbol in the URI was considered as the argument 
       string start.

       where these methods may do the false reports, there may be the long 
       delay when the request was passed via the keep-alive connection. It 
       may be at least on Solaris when using the /dev/poll.
