+Changes with nginx 1.13.8                                        26 Dec 2017
+
+    *) Feature: now nginx automatically preserves the CAP_NET_RAW capability
+       in worker processes when using the "transparent" parameter of the
+       "proxy_bind", "fastcgi_bind", "memcached_bind", "scgi_bind", and
+       "uwsgi_bind" directives.
+
+    *) Feature: improved CPU cache line size detection.
+       Thanks to Debayan Ghosh.
+
+    *) Feature: new directives in vim syntax highlighting scripts.
+       Thanks to Gena Makhomed.
+
+    *) Bugfix: binary upgrade refused to work if nginx was re-parented to a
+       process with PID different from 1 after its parent process has
+       finished.
+
+    *) Bugfix: the ngx_http_autoindex_module incorrectly handled requests
+       with bodies.
+
+    *) Bugfix: in the "proxy_limit_rate" directive when used with the
+       "keepalive" directive.
+
+    *) Bugfix: some parts of a response might be buffered when using
+       "proxy_buffering off" if the client connection used SSL.
+       Thanks to Patryk Lesiewicz.
+
+    *) Bugfix: in the "proxy_cache_background_update" directive.
+
+    *) Bugfix: it was not possible to start a parameter with a variable in
+       the "${name}" form with the name in curly brackets without enclosing
+       the parameter into single or double quotes.
