Changes with freenginx 1.29.5                                    10 Feb 2026

    *) Feature: optimized SSL_sendfile() usage on FreeBSD.
       Thanks to Gleb Smirnoff.

    *) Bugfix: upstream servers were not marked as failed after a response
       with status code 500, 502, 503, 504, or 429 if the code was listed in
       the "proxy_next_upstream" directive, but switching to the next server
       was not possible.

    *) Bugfix: the "stale-if-error" cache control extension was not applied
       if a backend returned a response with status code 500, 502, 503, 504,
       or 429 and the code was listed in the "proxy_next_upstream"
       directive.

    *) Bugfix: in handling of premature backend responses.
